RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION
An experienced team of Certified Irrigation Technologists will arrive on time & on the date specified. The landscape areas to be watered will be reviewed on site with the Irrigation Consultant, Installation Foreman and the Homeowner or Contractor to make sure the spray heads are flagged for proper placement and coverage, the timer location is determined and marked for installation in a convenient interior or exterior location, and that electrical power for the system is accessible via a 110V electrical outlet. The source connection from the meter or hose bib is established, valve box position shut off, and blowout, is determined. Trenches are typically dug by hand, trenching machine, or a pipe puller. All pipes are placed in the trench and connections including DCVA Double Check Valve Assembly (Back-flow Preventer) Main shut off, & blowout connection are installed and located off the main water supply usually near the water meter. These are located in a valve box flush with the landscaping in a planting bed or in the lawn area. Then lateral piping is placed and spray heads attached as per the flagging layout.  

Each spray head or riser spray will be mounted on a triple swing joint assembly to enable full adjustability & to compensate for changing grades or adding soil or turf after the system is installed. This also allows flexibility in the pipe system vehicles happen to run over a sprinkler head it will cause minimal damage, this feature is standard on all our installations at no extra charge. Once all piping & components are placed in the trenches the system is pressure tested and checked for leaks when it passes inspection the trenches are backfilled and the sod replaced, if it was removed.

OPTIONAL WATER SAVING DEVICES

If you have opted to install any of our water saving devices they would be installed at this point enabling you to minimize water wastage. Your water savings will more than compensate you for installing one or more of these products. Wireless Rain Sensors automatically detect rain and shut off the programmed sprinkler system from coming on in the rain, overwatering and wasting water. In Ground Moisture Sensors detect the amount of water absorbed by the soil to a specific depth shutting off the programmed sprinkler system so as not to overwater or activate if soil conditions are too dry. Weather Stations detect rain, wind speed, barometric pressure and adjust watering scheduling automatically to compensate for on site weather conditions. Toro Precision Nozzles  Save up to 30% on your water bill by replacing your existing nozzles with these nozzles that use about half the standard amount of water.  Satellite Weather Stations feed data to the controller on site and adjust automatically to plant type, soil type, slope conditions, local weather patterns and conditions via satellite weather tracking.
