Irrigation Services starts with a good controller. The battery operated controller will send a signal through wires to the sprinkler heads telling them when, and for how long, to open. Wherever the sprinkler heads are located is usually referred to as the zone. Although most systems have multiple zones. However, the sprinklers can be installed above ground, at ground, or even below ground.

Once the sprinklers receive the signal the controller releases the water and allows it to travel through the piping which is usually PVC or polyethylene. For large areas the water is dispersed through a product called a rotor, for medium areas the device is referred to as a spray head. In smaller areas, the water disperses through devices commonly referred to as emitters or micro sprays.

 

High Tech

 

Aside from the basics irrigation systems also can come equipped with rain sensors, freeze sensors, soil moisture sensors, weather stations, and flow sensors. Backflow prevention systems keep the water from contaminating the potable water supply. A quality North Shore irrigation system will have these options.  

 

Winterizing your System

 

Winterizing your irrigation system is a must do in New England. The basic idea is to remove water from the system because once the freeze comes water will expand when frozen. If the water has no outlet then it will break your pipes and cause serious damage to your system. There are different methods of winterizing including manual, automatic, and blow out. You can use manual and automatic drainage when the valves are located at the end and low points of the piping. Blow out uses pressure to expel the water. You can use an air compressor to achieve this.
