Recommendations For Selecting Good Sprinkler Design

By Jason Bell


A beautiful lawn at your home will greatly improve your landscape appearance. The cost of maintaining that lawn and making it remain relatively green will include a good irrigation system. The choice of shower head will be affected by various factors. In the next few paragraphs are guidelines for selecting good sprinkler design that can cater for your needs at different levels.

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.

Water supply should be a concern before buying an irrigator. You may buy one that cannot be able to spray well because of the little water pressure from the source. First, there must be enough water to even think of setting the showering head. Some designs consume more water than others and thus the need to be prepared for the associated costs to be incurred in water usage.

The other important thing to give attention to is the process of installation. Some are quite complex especially those which are designed to water big areas. They are complex and may need expert assistance in setting them up. Likewise, there are those buried underground. These too are quite technical in their setting. Those which are automated will still need some technical job in their installation.

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.

You also need to think about the budget. You have to allocate funds appropriately. This will mean that you put aside funds for the actual purchase, installation fees and any other associated costs that may come up with the new installation. Some of the automated systems may be quite expensive to install but fair in maintenance.

The other step is looking for an approved installer of the system. The person should be a pro in the same to ensure correct connection. It is preferable that you can get to agree on a routine check and emergency consolations. All in all, ensure that you give a credible person the job.

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.
