What to Consider When Designing Your Sprinkler System?
In planning your new sprinkler system, there are many things that you need to consider. You need to choose the right type of sprinklers, where they should be placed and how many there should be, as well as which setting they should be in. You should also decide how you want to control the sprinkler system, and decide the best way to connect the sprinkler heads to your water source. Read below to know the best sprinkler system design for your home.
How Do You Want to Control Your Sprinkler System?
The type of control system you want will depend on the type of yard you have and the kind of grass you have. For example, if you have a flat lawn, you may want to control your sprinkler system by adjusting the water pressure. To learn more about the different kinds of sprinkler systems, and how to choose the right one for your lawn, continue reading the following.
There are two main kinds of sprinkler heads, steerable and rotary. Steerable heads point in a particular direction and rotate to cover an area. Rotary heads, on the other hand, turn in place and cover a large area.
Steerable Sprinkler System – If you want to keep your lawn green, this is the best way to do it. This means that you can control the direction the water comes out, to make sure it doesn’t end up damaging your grass.
Rotor Sprinkler System – This works by automatically rotating sprinkler heads, as more water is pumped into them. The sprinkler rotates in place until the water flow rate is sufficient, and then switches direction. When the flow rate is sufficient, the sprinkler head rotates again, and the process repeats.
