The installation of a lawn irrigation system is an investment worthy of your lawn. Classic Lawnscape, an installer and servicer of lawn irrigation systems for Shoreview residences and businesses, would like to share with you some information on what makes up such a system so you may gather how they work.
Backflow Prevention Devices
The water supplied via lawn irrigation system must remain free of pollutants and/or contamination. The usage of a backflow device helps in this effort as lawn irrigation systems are designed to be installed on potable water lines. You can protect your lawn from back-siphonage as well as back-pressure of the polluted water into the potable water supply. Health hazards and other issues like are prevented in this way.
Sprinkler Controllers and Timers
Amongst the very most important spokes in the lawn irrigation system wheel, sprinkler controllers and timers are the brains behind the functioning system—what determines water start and stop times. Programmable controllers set up watering begin and end times that are dependent upon a couple of different variables like the type of plants within the zone in question, quality and type of soil, sun and shade that area receives daily and more.
Water Filters
Water filters are the gateway to debris entry into pumps, dirt and other, finer particulates. Contaminants such as these clog and can otherwise cause general damage. Water filter screens tend to come in the form of polyester or stainless steel. They are an important part of keeping lawn irrigation systems in fully functional mode.
Weather and Flow Sensors
So what happens when consistent rain is falling? Does the system know not to water if Mother Nature has fed the lawn? Weather and flow sensors shut off the controllers based on the weather that is going on outside or has already occurred. If there has been a lot of rain, the sensor will inform the overall lawn irrigation system to hold off on watering so your plants, trees, flowers and landscaping do not undergo an artificially generated deluge.
There are so many components that make up a lawn irrigation system—we simply do not have the room to go into them all. So, if you find yourself wondering, you may call at your leisure and we would be more than happy to discuss the lawn irrigation system that is right for your lawn.
