Tips For Selecting Good Sprinkler Design

By Jason Bell


You may be faced with the challenge of finding a good irrigation system for your lawn or field. Could be you are wondering which factors to consider and techniques to apply. Here, you will get a good ride through the things to look for. Discussed are recommendations for selecting good sprinkler design for your needs. The points discussed will give insight on how to go about the process.

The first thing to ask yourself is what capacity of an irrigator you need. They are available in different sizes and strengths. Some are intended to water large fields such as play fields and parks while others are designed to operate at lower pressures to small water lawns. Large filed sprinklers will be more complex than smaller ones. For instance, oscillatory fan types are better for a larger field.

You are also informed that you need to assess the reliability of water supply at our area of residence. If you happen to be in a residence where water cannot pump at high pressure, then it may need some reinforcement to water big pieces with using complex design sprinklers. Where the water supply is scarce will mean the system is underutilized especially one that is meant to irrigate big areas.

The process of installation should be suitable for the given design desired for that particular task. You cannot imagine a situation where you are not able to set up the system and have no help around. It may be quite a challenge. Some systems may require expertise which you must employ. These may include the big spray sprinklers and the ones using the automation. The underground system may be quiet challenging as well.

Soils types are also a major concern. You are supposed to protect the environment against any form of degradation, and thus it will be prudent to perform a survey of the type of soil in your place. Some are designed for specific soil types. Light soils would not require high-pressure water heads. Uncontrolled irrigation may lead to soil erosion and this can be offset through automation.

It is very crucial to look at the budget too. Do not just go for a system without first budgeting for it. Prepare your budget well to allocate for water bills, maintenance costs and any other accrued expense in the process of buying till it reaches home. Allocate for installation costs and in case you are setting up a smart shower head, determine its costs and maintenance needs such as batteries.

The next step will be choosing a suitable installer to help you with the setting up. This is mainly for those systems that are complex and require quite a good deal of technical support. In this regard, you will have to seek recommendations from friends, family or neighbors on the suitable installer.

Finally, look through the warranties, after sales services that come with the installation. Determine the terms of warranties and who is responsible for what at what given duration. The process should also check on safety matters as well as a written contract that is binding just for safety in case of any problems.
