Atlanta Lawn Sprinkler Repair

Been receiving a lot of emergency calls lately because the irrigation systems don't have separate shut offs or double check backflow preventors which would allow you to turn your system off in the event of a "water" emergency. So, while have your irrigaiton systems repaired, ask your irrigation technician if you have a way to shut off your system in an emergency and if not, at least get a gate valve installed to shut off the water. Your only other choice will be to cut off all the water, including that to your house, if you have an lawn sprinkler issue.

Efficient Lawn Sprinkler Systems

Ever heard of matched precipitation rates? It is important that the rates of water from your sprinkler heads are "matched." This helps to ensure even watering. Think of it like this: Square yard, heads on each corner putting out 2.5 gpm. The head in the center going full circle should be "matched" to ensure proper watering. What should that rate be? (Experts, think of this in simple terms do not complicate things!) The answer tomorrow.
