Irrigation systems have many separate parts to them. Become comfortable with these terms for talking to service professionals about irrigation system installations or repairs. Review this post on some of the home irrigation system terms including valves, controllers, rotors, sprayheads and nozzles.
A valve is a device that controls passage of fluid through pipes, normally in one direction only. Valves that are reliable and easily recognizable are a cornerstone to our business. Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair & Irrigation is able to offer the best parts for the best coverage in your installed automatic irrigation systems for home or business.
An irrigation controller helps operate automatic irrigation systems such as lawn sprinklers and drip irrigation systems. Controllers allow the user to set irrigation frequency, start time and water duration. Some irrigation controllers use multiple programs to allow for rain delay, soil moisture sensors, weather data, remote operation and input terminals for rain and freeze sensors.
There are two different types of controllers, electric and hydraulic, and newer systems employ electromechanical or electronic controllers where the controller is connected to an electrical circuit that operates a solenoid attached to each valve, which when actuated, water above the diaphragm is relieved and the valve opens. Our staff use the most up-to-date technology which provides a worry-free, reliable system that won’t let you down.
Rotors are higher pressure rotating sprinklers driven by a ball drive, gear drive or an impact system. With their broad range of features and proven dependability, the products we incorporate into our projects provide the highest quality available.
Sprayheads and nozzles are designed to control the rate of flow, speed, direction, and pressure of the stream that that sprays from them. The nozzle is usually a tube or pipe of varying cross sectional area used to direct and modify the water flow to your lawn. Some other components to irrigation systems include irrigation pumps and pipes, and since they could be somewhat more complicated, we decided save those topics for another post.
