Underground Sprinkling

Sprinklers

There are two types of sprinkler heads: sprays and rotors. Sprays are used in smaller areas and have pop-up heights of three to 12 inches. Rotors rotate the water stream up to 360 degrees and are used for larger areas.

Controllers

Flier’s Automatic underground sprinkling systems operate with a programmable controller that allows you to schedule when and where various portions of your lawn will be watered. You will find it easy to program the days of the week and the number of minutes you want each zone to run.  Some controllers have multi-programs in order to water turf and landscape areas on different schedules.

A signal from the controller activates a solenoid that opens or closes each control valve at the programmed time.  Some sprinkling systems are equipped with moisture sensors that override the controller program and prevent the system from turning on during rainy weather or immediately after a rain while the soil remains moist.

Controllers are available at Flier’s Retail Store 616-583-9040.

Valves

Flier’s automatic underground sprinkler systems deliver water through a network of underground pipes to all areas of a lawn.

The network of underground pipes is interspersed with strategically placed control valves, each of which can either stop or start the flow of water to a specific area of the lawn. That specific area of the lawn is called a zone.

Each zone consists of several sprinkler heads attached to the buried pipes by risers (short vertical pipes) that are arranged to provide uniform water coverage in that area. Sprinkling systems are divided into zones because city water systems and wells are capable of supplying water to only a limited number of sprinklers at one time.

Flier’s professional water experts measure the available water pressure prior to installation of the sprinkler system to ensure that the sprinkler heads in each zone will receive sufficient water to operate properly.

Valves are available at Flier’s Retail Store 616-583-9040.

Rain Sensor:

Wireless rain sensors conserve water by suspending irrigation during rainfall, and the wireless rain/freeze sensors also reduce the damage to plants and danger to walkways caused by ice buildup by interrupting irrigation when the air temperature drops below a predetermined set point.  Rain sensors can easily be added to an existing system at any time. 

Weather Station:

Toro Weather Station uses live temperature and solar measurements as well as historical weather data for your location to calculate the amount of water needed from the irrigation system.
