An irrigation system can play a vital role in the long-term health of your landscaping.
Here’s how to install irrigation system for your home.
The first step is to figure out which home irrigation system is right for you. Three systems include the drip irrigation system, bubbler irrigation system and popup sprayer.
A drip irrigation system involves low water pressure and no aerial spray to achieve the goal of watering plants. This is a popular above ground irrigation system.
A bubbler irrigation system relies on moderate pressure that causes a popup head that allows water to bubble out and soak out slowly into the ground. The bubbler is a popular garden irrigation system.
The popup sprayer pops up and delivers a pressurized aerial spray that uses a zone system to irrigate flower and garden beds as well as lawns. Popup sprayers are often the reason water runs off into streets and drainage systems.
After identifying the best system you just need to know how to install irrigation system.
The first step is to tie into a water source and run lines and sprinkler heads. The water source can be as simple as an outside water hydrant that has a hose attachment.
Next, inspect your landscape for the best locations for the system and sprinkler heads. Use a water-based spray paint to lay-out the system.
If you are installing a drip soaker or sprinkler irrigation system expect to excavate or trench for supply lines. Secure the line to the ground using a stake and lay or unroll a small diameter line on top of the flower or garden beds.
Begin installation of lines using PVC pipe and fittings at the locations of sprinkler heads. Use glue and sleeves to make connections and cut the lines to a correct length using a PVC saw or snips.
Use PVC glue to install the sprinkler heads and cut the extension from the tees once the irrigation lines and tees with extensions have been installed.
Backfill the trench and slowly turn on the water. As you increase the pressure, the sprinkler heads should be working.
Adjust the heads for maximum coverage and look for water seeping up from loose joints. Uncover and repair the line if you see water seeping up from the ground.
