  • Learn How Sprinkler Systems Operate: After the sprinklers are connected to your property’s main water supply, the system’s controller will take charge, dictating when different heads turn on and off. The control valves regulate the amount of water that goes out to each zone in your yard and feed the water through the system. Once water pressure fills the pipes, the sprinkler heads will pop up and begin to disperse water.
  • sprinkler systemZone Your Property: During your sprinkler system installation, your yard will be separated into various zones, so an adequate amount of water is spread evenly across the landscape. Through the zoning process, your system is programmed to deliver the ideal amount of water at the right time.
  • Determine Proper Use for Water Conservation: When designed and used properly, your sprinkler system will help you conserve water and save money. For the best results, ensure your system is programmed to turn on at optimum watering hours, only watering living things, and maintained on a routine basis.
