Installing an efficient irrigation system in Sarasota takes a contractor that cares more about quality than profit. So many Sarasota irrigation contractors have it in their mind that a sprinkler system is based on five hundred dollars a zone, meaning each station that operates in the yard based on the gallons per minute the water source for your irrigation system can deliver. First thing to do is research what makes an irrigation system operate with good efficiency. Take time to go on the web, or just call Sarasota County Extension service. will send a person out to explain in detail what a good irrigation system should operate like.
Here are some tips on hiring a good irrigation contractor.
1. Make sure he or she is licensed
2. Make sure he or she provides references with addresses so you can see what the yard looks like. A good irrigation system will show by how healthy the plants and turf are.
3. When installing the system make sure the contractor separates all turf zones from plant zones and that all tree bubbler’s are separated from the two as well.
4. If operating on a pressure switch make sure zones are built to run between 30 psi and 50 psi this will keep pump running while system is in operation.
5. Make sure all components are a high quality such as Rain Bird or Toro. I prefer Rain Bird, however Hunter makes a good rotor head. Try to keep all components one brand which makes repairs easier.
