Sprinkler Systems
The installation of an efficient sprinkler system begins with good design. The system must apply water uniformly over the desired area with head to head coverage. Choosing the appropriate sprinkler for a given area is important, but the location and spacing of sprinklers is equally important. Placing part-circle sprinklers along the boundaries of the irrigated area allows uniform watering along the edges while avoiding wasteful over spray onto buildings, paved areas, and other adjacent areas.
Proper spacing of sprinklers is critical in achieving uniform water application. Sprinklers spaced too far apart will waste water by applying too much water in some areas and not enough in others. On the other hand, spacing sprinklers closer than required increases the cost of the system and wastes water.
One other important aspect of proper design is pipe sizing. Selection of pipe sizes should be based on the flow rate through the pipe. If pipes are too small, excessive pressure losses occur. This causes some sprinklers to apply more water than others and results in non uniform application and wasted water.
Rain Sensors
GreenCare uses the wireless rain sensor to eliminate the appearance of wires connecting your controller.
Some features and benefits of the sensor are:
| • |
Hassle-free, wire-free with easy installation |
| • |
Simple to add on to a new or existing installation |
| • |
Set a maximum dry-out period |
| • |
Multiple mounting options |
| • |
Variety of choices depending on the job site - gutter or wall mounts |
| • |
Built-in bypass switch on receiver panel |
