Irrigation sprinklers

Sprinklers are devices used for the irrigation of gardens, parks, golf courses, and other green spaces. These devices are an essential tool for keeping vegetation healthy and beautiful. In this section, we will examine the different types of sprinklers and their features. We also offer a variety of models and brands for you to choose the right one for your lawn installation.

Types of Sprinklers

There are several types of sprinklers used for irrigation. Each has its unique characteristics and is used for different situations. Below, we describe the most common types of sprinklers:

Impact Sprinklers

These sprinklers have an internal mechanism that rotates and releases water in jets that hit the ground. They are ideal for large areas, as they cover an area of up to 50 feet in diameter. Additionally, they are resistant to clogging and dirt, making them ideal for sports fields and other large spaces.

Rotor Sprinklers

These sprinklers have a watering head that rotates through a gear system. They are ideal for large areas, as they cover an area of up to 65 feet in diameter. Moreover, they can be adjusted to emit a uniform water flow or a variety of spray patterns.

Spray Sprinklers

These sprinklers emit a water jet at a short distance and are mainly used in small areas such as gardens and flower beds. They can be adjusted to emit different spray patterns, such as a fine mist or a direct jet.

Low Precipitation Sprinklers

These sprinklers have a lower water application rate than other types of sprinklers. This means they emit less water per hour but at a slower rate. They are ideal for areas with clay soils that absorb water slowly.

Installation and Maintenance of Sprinklers

Proper installation and regular maintenance of sprinklers are essential to ensure their optimal performance. Below are the necessary steps to install and maintain sprinklers:

Location Planning

Before installing sprinklers, it is important to plan the location. Determine the best location for the sprinklers based on the size and shape of the area to be watered.

Area Preparation

Once the location of the sprinklers has been determined, it is important to prepare the area. Remove any obstructions and level the ground to ensure that the water is distributed evenly.

Sprinkler Installation

Once the area has been prepared, install the sprinklers. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation.

System Testing

After installing the sprinklers, test the system to ensure it works correctly. Adjust the sprinklers as necessary to ensure the water is distributed evenly.

Regular Maintenance

It is important to perform regular maintenance on the sprinklers to ensure their optimal performance. Some maintenance tasks include:

• Regular cleaning of the sprinklers to prevent clogging of the nozzles.
• Replacement of sprinkler filters to prevent the build-up of sediments and other materials in the internal components.
• Regular checking of water pressure to ensure the sprinklers function properly.
• Repairing any leaks or damage to the sprinklers or the piping system.
