Fix Your Irrigation System - LESSON 4

9 Tips to Revive Your Irrigation System...and Your Garden!

• In hot weather the lawn grows rapidly and if you skip mowing the height of the grass will cover the sprinkler jet, hindering it.
• Dynamic sprinklers often do not distribute water evenly.
  The sprinkler jet is such that more water is sprayed at a point distant from the sprinkler and less water under the sprinkler itself.
  This problem forces us to increase the duration of the irrigation cycle in order to adequately water even the points that are not adequately reached by the water.
  The consequence is that in the areas most affected by water the soil tends to become excessively soaked.
• When the pressure in the system is low, the problem of non-homogeneous distribution becomes more accentuated.
  The water jet tends to wet in a circle around the sprinkler.
• Some areas of the garden are sloping and after each irrigation cycle due to this slope the downstream nozzles, although closed, continue to lose water due to the emptying of the pipes.
  Depending on their diameter, the pipes can contain tens or hundreds of litres of water which empty from the sprinklers downstream, creating swamps.
  This leads to a significant waste of water because at each new irrigation cycle the system must refill with water and problems with the lawn due to the bogged down water which is a source of fungal diseases.

• The T5 Series Pop-Ups allow grass to grow taller thanks to the turret's 20% greater excursion than average.
  The T5 is 2.5 centimetres taller than other dynamic sprinklers in the same category.
• Thanks to the latest generation nozzles, the T5 sprinkler offers better distribution and significant water savings.
• The T5 distributes water evenly even at low pressure.
• They are equipped with a check valve capable of withstanding a height difference of 3 metres which prevents sprinklers positioned in the lowest points from emptying the system at the end of the irrigation cycle.
• The installation and adjustment of the turret is easy and within everyone's reach.
• The T5 feels robust and reliable.

A perfect lawn depends fundamentally on a perfect irrigation system.
Therefore, perfecting your irrigation system allows you to obtain the lawn you have always wanted.

Furthermore, water is a limited natural resource.
Learning to use this resource intelligently is becoming increasingly important.

FIXING YOUR SYSTEM saves you 80% of water.
