Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I install my own sprinklers?
Yes, you can install your own sprinklers. However, it requires a good understanding of your garden’s needs, local climate conditions, and technical knowledge about the system components. You’ll need to plan the layout, purchase the necessary equipment, dig trenches for the pipes, install the sprinkler heads, connect the system to your water supply, and finally, test the system. While it’s a great DIY project that can save you money, keep in mind that professional installers have the experience to avoid common pitfalls and can provide a more efficient system. Always check local regulations as permits may be required.
How many sprinklers is ideal per zone?
The number of sprinklers per zone depends on the water pressure in your area, the flow rate of your sprinklers, and the size of the area you want to water. As a general rule, most residential systems should have no more than 5-10 sprinklers per zone. However, it’s important to ensure that your system is designed to provide adequate coverage without exceeding the water supply capacity. We recommend consulting with a professional or doing some research specific to your sprinkler model and local conditions for a more accurate estimate.
How long does it take to install sprinkler system?
The installation time for a sprinkler system can vary based on the size and complexity of the system, as well as the specific conditions of the landscape. For a typical 8-12 zone residential system, the average installation time is about 3.5 to 4.5 days. This includes time for planning the layout, digging trenches, installing the sprinkler heads, connecting the system to the water supply, and testing the system. It’s important to note that it usually takes longer to install an irrigation system in an existing landscape than a brand new one due to the additional care needed to avoid utility lines and protect existing plants.
