Every system will be custom tailored to meet individual needs; a typical system will be comprised of a controller (which functions as the brains of the system), valves (which open and close to release and stop the flow of water to underground pipes), and sprinklers (which actually distribute the water to a given area).

Installation: A new sprinkler system consists of a sprinkler heads, valves, a back flow preventor, a timer, wiring and pipe. The pipe is put into the ground with a pipe-pulling machine. Instead of digging unsightly trenches, this machine leaves only a narrow trail in the lawn which usually grows back completely in 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the weather. (Some trails may take longer to disappear when the weather is hot as the grass does not grow as quickly). We typically install the timer in the garage or home for convenience, and we install all heads and valves as designed. When complete, the system is thoroughly tested and adjusted for accuracy.

PGV Valves

Sprinkler valves are an integral part of your sprinkler system; a valve is a device that turns the water on and off to each area of your lawn. You will generally have several valves in your sprinkler system, depending on the age of your system and the size of your yard. There are two basic types of valves available. Manual valves and electric valves. Manual valves require the homeowner to manually go to the valve location, generally near the front or rear entry to the property, use a special valve key to manually turn on each valve individually for each section of the lawn. Many of the sprinkler system's installed prior to 1960 were installed using manual valves. Electric valves are what most installers use today. They operate using 24V current from the controller to the valve. Wires run from each valve to the controller and are generally installed with the main line pipe below ground. When the controller sends current to the zone valve, it magnetically opens the solenoid and allows the valve to open.

Controller's

Controllers: Controllers automatically operate your lawn sprinkler system. Controllers take the drudgery out of watering, allowing you to stay inside and read the paper while the water flow is regulated automatically. Even better, you can sleep while your timer controls those middle-of-the-night times set by watering restrictions. Once you have programmed your timer, it will water your lawn or garden on the day and time you choose and water for the length of time you specify. An automated sprinkler system can help you water efficiently if the timer is used properly. A study conducted by the Division of Water Resources found that residents without automatic sprinkler systems in Salt Lake City typically water 44% more than the lawn needs.

The SRR Remote Control : represents the ultimate in convenience for homeowners. Activate sprinklers without walking back and forth to the controller. Easy to use at an easy to handle price. The SRR makes it possible for the homeowner to operate a system without having to walk to (and tinker around with) the controller. Best of all, the SRR offers features that other remotes can’t – including sturdy ABS construction, internal antenna, large LCD display and 4-button operation – at a price that can’t be beat.

 

 

 

Rain Sensor's

Rain Sensor's: There's nothing more embarrassing – or more wasteful or costly – than an irrigation system that runs when it doesn't have to: in the rain. Rain sensors provide the simplest, most effective way to prevent sprinklers from coming on during or after precipitation. They easily install on any automatic irrigation system, then shuts sprinklers off in a storm and keeps them off, automatically compensating for the amount of rainfall that occurred. Disks absorb water and expand proportionally to the amount of rain that fell (e.g., a small cloudburst would result in little absorption, a 6" thunderstorm would lead to more absorption and expansion). As the moisture-laden disks expand, they eventually activate a switch that interrupts the circuit from the controller to the solenoid valves. Once dry, they contract and release the switch. Thus, the rain sensor automatically resets without ever affecting your controller. There's no better way to ensure that a system isn't watering when it isn't necessary.
