New Irrigation Systems

What does "full coverage" mean when it comes to irrigation system installations? Full coverage is head-to-head coverage in conjunction with proper precipitation rates. Meaning, your sprinkler head spray should touch all heads in its' spray area. This is an important factor in the design and installation of your new irrigation system. Remember, chose wisely, chose effectively and water efficiently.

New Irrigation System

If you are thinking about a new irrigation system, be sure that your irrigation company properly designs your irrigation system to provide even and uniform watering. Proper design of your irrigation system is the first step towards assuring a efficient irrigation system.

Tip #1: Make sure that your irrigation system is evenly distributing water. Make adjustments at least each year and move heads, if necessary, to ensure even watering is evenly maintained for growing plants.

Full coverage and Proper Irrigation System Design

Today someone asked me about "full coverage" and what exactly it meant when it comes to irrigation system installation.
Full coverage is head-to-head coverage in conjunction with proper precipitation rates. Meaning, your sprinkler head spray should touch all heads in its' spray area. Another important factor in proper irrigation system design is precipitation rates. This is where nozzles become important.
A qualified irrigation contractor or irrigation company in Atlanta will further address flow rate and other technical aspects required for proper design. These are all important factors in the design and installation of your new irrigation system. Remember, chose wisely, chose effectively and water efficiently.

Questions from average people about irrigation

In the last couple of days I've gotten several phone calls from people who want to get a new irrigation system. All of them seemed to have one thing in common - they didn't know much about irrigation design or planning - but just wanted water.

So I say it you that proper design (pipe size, head nozzles, etc.) by your irrigation company is essential. It's great if you got an irrigation system to water your lawn but not great if it's watering while it's raining or right after it stopped raining. It's also not good if you don't have proper coverage by your irrigation system that will result in brown or missed spots.

Keep in mind that different manufacturers' products offer different features. If your interested in efficiency products - ask about those. If you just want to water your roses, ask about just watering your roses. Make sure and let your irrigation contractor know what you need and want.

Be sure to do a little research when deciding on an irrigation company in Atlanta. Make sure you ask the right questions: product manufacturer, warranty, state requirements, years in business and other jobs and/or customer testimonials. Also, be sure to ask your irrigation contractor if they utilize the "full coverage" theory in irrigation. If not, missed spots there will be and you will never fully realize the potential for your irrigation system.

A little research and planning will take you a long way...chose wisely, chose effectively and water efficiently.
