Fix Your Irrigation System - LESSON 2

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

• The spray range of the static sprinkler is insufficient.
  Static sprinklers reach maximum throws of approximately 5 metres.
  To cover distances greater than 5 meters, dynamic sprinklers should be used, but often installers when they have to cover distances ranging from 5 to 7 meters still use static sprinklers thinking that it is not justified for half a meter, or one meter more, to spend more money on the purchase of more expensive sprinklers, capable of reaching ranges of 10 meters and more and then make them work on ranges of 5 and a half meters or 6 meters.
  They assume that water will still arrive from nearby sprinklers to cover any uncovered area.
  If your installer made a mistake like this, you will end up with areas of your lawn that dry out or suffer from water stress.
• You need to extend the throw of your static sprinklers but don't want to dig up your lawn to install dynamic sprinklers.
• The installer used the right sprinklers, for example he mounted sprinklers with a 5 meter nozzle where the range should have been 5 meters, but he installed many sprinklers on the same line and due to insufficient water the sprinkler does not reach the desired range.
• The lawn is sloping and the high amount of water sprayed by the static sprinklers causes runoff because the soil does not have time to absorb the water.
  Water tends to get bogged downstream.

• The PRECISION ROTATING nozzles are multi-jet rotating heads and therefore have the characteristics of a dynamic sprinkler but can be installed on any static sprinkler on the market.
• They have a range of 4.2 to 7.9 metres, so they allow your spray heads to go beyond the 5 metre limit and reach approximately 8 metres of range.
• They consume 40% less water than static nozzles, allowing you to install more sprinklers for each area while maintaining the right range.
• Multiple sprinklers can be mounted with the same flow rate, therefore where the pressure is good but the sprinklers are insufficient, more sprinklers can be added, thus avoiding positioning errors without losing pressure in the system.
• The particular construction of the turbine keeps rotation stable regardless of the flow rate and operating pressure.
• By creating a system with homogeneous coverage you will give the right amount of water to every corner of your garden, avoiding that some areas go into water stress due to too little water and others receive too much with the consequence that the lawn will become ill with fungal diseases.
• The multi-jet system sprays less water than a static sprinkler, gives the soil more time to absorb the water and therefore reduces runoff.

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.
