    I actually had a professional, install my irrigation system last summer. I had them cut the sod on the front yard and trench on the backyard. With that said, the backyard trenched recovered in half the time that the front yard did with cutting the side. If I had to do over again, I would simply trench because those trenches were so small. Nonetheless with lots of fertilizer and regular watering, it all came back great. Looks great though and thanks for the video!

    I'm 61yrs old, I installed systems when I worked as a landscaper in my mid 20's and I'm not computer savvy. I installed an irrigreen system at my home and love it! But I do need to install a 'cycle stop' valve since I have a well and the pressure changes.

      @robertmaurer9647, I’m on a well also and wondered about the pressure changing/cycling down, then jumping up (I see it clearly in the distance when using an oscillating sprinkler). Could you explain the ‘cycle stop’ valve?

    • @robertmaurer9647
      @robertmaurer9647 Год назад +1

      @@surfwakerc as long as water is running, the Stop Cycle valve reduces the water flow to the tank and keeps water pressure at a steady level. The pump will run continuously until the water stops flowing. When the water pump turns off and on repeatedly, it wears out the pump sooner. There are several RUclips videos that explain in more detail and better than I can.

    I am more of a pop up guy than a rotor guy. Love the work you did by the way. I feel you can save so much more water using pop ups. Rotors are very expensive use wise. I’m it helps a lot with the poly tubing instead of a 3/4 inch line. Great work though your lawn always looks top tier

    I’m about to make a purchase on Irrigreen using your code, but before I do, I want to ensure I’m getting everything I need. I’ll be requiring anywhere from 12 to 14 heads along with the new controller.
    I’d like your advice on a few things:
    1. Should I use poly pipe similar to what you used? I’m located in Delaware. If yes, could you share links to the items you purchased, such as fittings, crimps, etc.?
    2. Did you use a master valve? If so, which one would you recommend?
    3. Any additional tips or tricks you can share to make the installation smoother would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    I've spent the last 3 weeks moving sprinkler heads and running new pipe in my traditional system and it has been a pain so right there with you. From what I see, these don't use a valve but the whole line is pressured and each head serves as it's own station? Just curious if you only run 1 head at a time or more of a zone style...

    • @ActiveWren
      @ActiveWren Год назад +1

      Generally you’d have a single master valve near your backflow preventer. You’d then run a pvc line to multiple heads. Each head has a valve in it that turns on, rotates, and reduces pressure when you have an obstruction and need to not spray as far. Because of the volume of water used, it’s designed to run 1 head at a time.

  • @CentralPlainsEnt

    Can you make adjustments to lessen the straight stream of water to more a mist type flow? As is, the flow is too much of a straight stream and is applying water heavily onto the lawn in certain areas, especially the bottom stream of water coming from the head.

  • @TheRealBigT1984
    @TheRealBigT1984 Год назад +1

    I love the new technology, especially in my yard. I have a real narrow right side of my lawn with a tree that would have made traditional heads hard, plus no need to trench under my sidewalk.
    I also want to add more stuff to my fenced in backyard, so putting 2-3 heads in the middle instead of around the edges with 8-12 heads makes future expansion easier because I can just change the throw points.
    I priced it last year but held off, it was a bit more than I was prepared to spend but definitely love the Irrigreen system.

  • @Iexpedite1
    @Iexpedite1 Год назад

    I had a professional system put in. I was shocked by how difficult it was. The plumbing was really complicated to create the zones. Multiple runs of pipes and confusing valve pits. For those that don’t know, most systems are dumb. Instead of controlling each head, you control solenoids in the valve pits to send water to an area. To control spray patterns you install different nozzles. It’s a very imprecise way of doing things. The way the controllers work seem really dated. It’s like they piggybacked this and that function on an older antiquated system. The main system has no idea its signals are being modified by secondary systems. It works, but it doesn’t work well.
    Controlling each nozzle means you can pressurize the entire waterline and open spray heads like opening faucets in your house. As little or as much as you need. It’s not rocket science. They haven’t pushed the boundaries of science. This system just does what legacy systems should have been doing 20 years ago.
    I was shocked how far behind the times sprinkler systems are. It felt like they developed an operating system and refused to change.
    I think you will find your sod efforts beneficial. I used a pro plugger to hasten the grass filling in. It took a long time and I kept having to add soil.
