Lawn sprinkler system

Whether you've recently moved into a newly constructed home or are living in an existing home, you may be thinking about how to water your lawn and plant material.

 

How do Irrigation sprinkler systems work?

 

bullet

The sprinkler system's brain (the controller) will send a signal to one of the zone's electric valve, telling it to open. 

bullet

Each electric valve controls a group of sprinkler heads or mister heads for the turf or a drip irrigation line which waters the plant material.

bullet

The electric valve works like an automatic faucet.  When it receives the command from the controller, it opens, and the water flows. 

bullet

When the particular run time is finished, the controller tells the valve to close.  The valve closes and the flow of water stops, then the sprinkler head or mister head pops back down to the ground level. 

bullet

This process is repeated for each zone or group of watering heads.  The drip zone finishes and you may hear the sound of air, just for a moment.

Some contractors save time and money installing your  electric valves throughout the property, we prefer to install all the valves close together, usually in one or more large valve boxes, so that we can maintain the system in the highest level possible.
