Frequently Asked
Questions
Q.
Will an automatic sprinkler system use more water than I'm
currently using?
A. No. In fact, it will conserve water. You'll
never have to worry about run of from over watering or wasting
water when you forget to turn off the hose. And, with a
Sprinkler Company installed moisture sensor, your system will
know when it is raining and simply shut itself off when water is
not needed.
Q. Does having a sprinkler system really save time?
A. Yes. You won't have to spend another minute
of your valuable leisure time watering the lawn. Your new system
will do all the watering for you - even when you're away from
home.
Q. Will an automatic sprinkler system water as well as I
can water by hand?
A. It will do a much better job because a
professionally designed system will deliver exactly the right
amount of water to individual lawn and garden areas.
Q. We generally get 40 or more inches of rainfall a
year. Do we really need a sprinkler system?
A. If it rained at your house every three days
- the same exact amount each time - you probably wouldn't need a
sprinkler system. But nature doesn't work that way, and the only
way to ensure healthy, lush growth is to make certain your lawn
and plants receive a regularly timed, evenly measured amount of
water. In the dry season when there is little or no rain, your
yard can suffer damage after just a few days without water.
Q. Are there different systems from which to choose?
A. Although every system should be tailored to
meet individual needs, a typical system will be comprised of a
controller (which functions as the brains of the system), valves
(which open and close to release and stop the flow of water to
underground pipes) and sprinklers (which actually distribute the
water to a given area). It's best if all components of a system
are manufactured by the same company in order to ensure that
they are designed to work well together. All are components are
manufactured by Hunter Industries. Click

Q. Can I save money by installing my own system?
A. No! In fact, it could cost you more money in
the long run. A professional irrigation contractor will design
and install the most cost-effective and energy-efficient system
possible. You can be certain that he will select the appropriate
equipment for the job, while streamlining the maintenance
required keeping your landscaping in top shape. He will pay
special attention to such important factors as sprinkler
patterns (it is important to overlap the patterns so that the
outer edges receive sufficient water for healthy growth) and
backflow prevention (which is necessary to protect your drinking
water supply). And because your contractor is familiar with
local plumbing and electrical codes, you won't have to worry
about costly mistakes in wiring or pipe installation. He can do
the job faster, with less disruption to existing landscape, and
will guarantee his work.
Q. Will I have difficulty operating this system?
A. Your contractor will help you select the
best controller (the brains of the system) for your needs, and
he will set it with your individual watering schedule. Your
contractor also will work with you to explain the system's
operation. Then, if necessary, you can easily change the
watering schedule by just following the easy instructions on the
inside of the controller cabinet.
Q. How much will a good system cost?
A. The price of a system will vary depending
upon many factors such as property size, type of landscaping and
special designs. But you can count on The Sprinkler Company to
design a cost-effective system comprised of quality irrigation
components. He is familiar with the irrigation industry’s many
professional series products and knows how to put the right ones
together in a system that will achieve maximum results for you.
