Water Sprinkler System
A Water Sprinkler System Keep Your Lawn Perfectly Plush and Green
A Water Sprinkler System can be a convenient and valuable tool when irrigating your landscape. However, if used improperly, it results in substantial amounts of water waste. Plan your landscaping before you put the first pipe in the ground. Where are your lawn areas going to be? Where will your shrubs, trees and flowers be? Make sure you place plants with similar watering needs together--this is called “hydrozoning.” When you turn on a valve to water your grass, you don’t want your low water-use shrubs to receive the same amount of water.

Not only do you need the same plant types in each watering zone, but you also need to have the same sprinkler heads. Never install a spray head and a rotor head on the same valve. Different head types put out very different amounts of water in the same time period. If you have mixed heads in the same zone, you will need to over-water certain areas to get sufficient water to the entire zone.
There are many varieties of sprinkler heads, but three general categories are: spray, rotor, and drip:
Spray heads
Spray heads either pop-up out of the ground or have a stationary head. Spray heads are most commonly used on small areas; turf, shrubs or flower beds.

Rotor heads
Rotor Heads come in two main styles: stream (driven by a gear) or impact. They are useful in covering large areas, and typically apply water more uniformly than spray heads. Rotors can spray in full or part circle patterns, and some brands are adjustable to a wide variety of angles. The application rate of a rotor is usually lower than that of a spray head.

Drip Systems
Drip Systems have become popular for irrigating non-turf areas. A drip system usually consists of a special tube or hose with holes or emitters along it. These emitters may be spaced with a fixed distance to cover uniform, closely spaced beds, or randomly to only water certain plants.
A DIY Water Sprinkler System is not only a convenient way to water your lawn; it also makes the most efficient use of water.
