Basics of Irrigation systems

Many people that desire to purchase and install a lawn irrigation system are clueless about the various systems available in the market. Moreover they are unaware of what factors they should look for when making the purchase. The kind of soil your lawn has, the size of the lawn and the weather/climatic conditions prevailing in your area or state are all factors that should be given due importance when selecting a sprinkler system for your lawn. This article touches on the basics of irrigation systems such as the different types one can choose from.

The two most popular types of sprinkler systems are spray and rotor sprinkler systems

Spray sprinkler systems work best when intensive watering of the lawn is required. On an average, the application rate of this system ranges from1.5 to 1.7 inches of water an hour. Spray lawn sprinkler systems can be divided into two categories-pop up and pipe-mounted systems. As the name suggests, pop-ups emerge from the ground when activated while pipe-mounted systems remain stationary. Spray sprinklers are ideally suited for very even surfaces and extremely absorbent soils such as sand. If you cannot avoid usage of spray sprinklers on areas with a slope or on soils like clay, it is advisable to run a cycle first. This will ensure that the water does not simply run off.

Rotor heads are best suited for even distribution of water over large areas. While their application rate is significantly less than that of spray sprinklers, they need less cycling. This is because a limited amount of water is discharged and ample time is provided for absorption. Rotor heads are available as single or double spray types or as impact units. While the spray types discharge water in streams, the impact units distribute water in a conical manner, which ensures that the water is dispensed in all directions.
