Back flow valve Required by state law, it is used to protect your house and community from the unwanted introduction of water from the lawn sprinkler system into your well or community water system. There are several types of back flow valves. The type used is dependent upon the layout and design of your custom sprinkler system. We never undersize this critical component, and use a minimum 1 inch valve to ensure maximum irrigation system performance.
Zone valves These are electrical valves controlled by the controller/timer that actually allow water to flow to the sprinkler system heads. There is one valve for each zone. We install zone valves made by either Hunter (SRV or PGV series) or RainBird (DV series). We never undersize these valves and use a minimum 1 inch valve to ensure maximum sprinkler system performance.
Electrical wiring and connectors We only use direct-burial rated wire, minimum of 18 gauge, and the best electrical connectors available – 3M Scotchlok Brand IDC 316IR Connectors. These connectors cost us more, but ensure that your irrigation system will perform like new for many years to come.
Pipe and Fittings We never undersize our pipe, and use nothing less than 1 inch for the main supply lines, and ¾ inch for the lateral supply lines that lead to the sprinkler heads. PVC pipe is the industry standard, and comes in two types, “class pipe” and “schedule pipe”.
Class pipe: makes up the majority of the sprinkler system piping. It is the industry standard for carrying the water from the back flow valve to the zone valves and on to the sprinkler heads.
Schedule (40, 80, etc.) pipe: is used mostly above ground (such as mounting the back flow valve). It's heavier (thicker and stronger) than the “class pipe” typically used underground for the rest of the system.
Where applicable, swing joints are used to make connections from sprinkler heads to the lateral supply lines. Our swing joints are pre-manufactured for superior quality control and more precise sprinkler head placement.

Professionally designed and installed lawn sprinkler systems use a combination of components to accurately distribute a precise amount of water to your yard and landscape. Due to limitations in the available water pressure and flow, the yard is watered in smaller sections, called “zones”. These “zones”, which consist of multiple sprinkler heads, are run one after the other until the entire yard and landscape vegetation is watered. Residential sprinkler systems are typically made up of five zones; the front yard, the back yard, the left side of the house, the right side of the house, and the flower beds. The sprinkler system has many different components: Controller/Timer This is where you turn the sprinkler system on or off, set the run and start times, etc. We typically install either a Hunter XC series or RainBird ESP series controller depending upon sprinkler system requirements and/or customer preference.
Rain Sensor A device installed to stop the watering cycle during rainy weather. We install a Hunter Rain-Click on all of our sprinkler systems to help conserve water and to keep you from watching your money go down the drain when Mother Nature is watering the yard.

MP Rotator: a hybrid rotator sprinkler nozzle sitting on a spray pop-up head. This is an outstanding choice for small, medium and large areas that require a lower precipitation rate to reduce runoff on sloped areas and tight soils. A true water conservation device, MP Rotators are more efficient than sprays because they apply water more slowly and evenly.
Bubblers and Drip Line Irrigation: both are designed for small areas such as flower beds. With low precipitation rates and precise water application these are the ultimate in efficient irrigation. We use NETAFIM products, the finest in the irrigation industry.

Sprinkler heads Without careful selection of these components a sprinkler system will over-water, under-water, be inefficient, and generally ineffective. We carefully match the best head to the task at hand and take the time to install and adjust them correctly. There are several different types of sprinkler heads:
Spray heads: generally used for small to medium size areas. This is the classic sprinkler head that most people think of. It pops up out of the turf and sprays a fine mist of water. We use either Hunter (SRS series) or RainBird (1800 series) spray bodies, the best in the business!
Rotor heads: generally used for medium to large areas. This is a larger sprinkler head that rises up out of the turf and slowly rotates while shooting a stream of water 20 to 45 feet. While we install either Hunter (MP Rotators) or RainBird (5000 series) rotors; our preference is for the Hunter MP Rotator, the industry leader in water conservation and efficiency. |

While the above descriptions should not be considered a complete list of parts that may go into your lawn sprinkler / irrigation system, it is a basic list of components required on virtually any new system installation. Regardless of how simple or complex your particular irrigation system ends up, you can be assured that GreenSystems Irrigation will take the time to properly design your custom system and install the very best components available |
