The irrigation system for your Orlando home may need work if you end up dragging a hose around your lawn to water all the dry spots.
This property in Altamonte Springs had a very poor and inefficient irrigation system that was very costly to run. The existing irrigation system had a small coverage area so the owner was constantly hand watering the yard to hydrate dried out sections of the lawn. You have an irrigation system to make your job easier, right?
Our plan of action was to install a complete new system connected to reclaimed water for the Central Florida homeowner. Altamonte Springs has a superb reclaimed water system throughout the city and surrounding areas and is actually the benchmark by which all reclaimed water systems in the U.S. are based upon. The homeowner pays a flat monthly fee for the water instead of paying per usage, and can use as much water for the lawn as required within the parameters of code run times.
The yard now has 100% coverage and is divided into 4 zones. These zones are spaced for the front, rear and sides of the property. With this type of design, the run times can be increased or decreased as required to cope with sun and shade exposure throughout the seasons. The Rain Bird ESP controller has been set with winter seasonal considerations and will water only 1 day per week as allowed by local code.
We installed a Rain Bird WR2 wireless rain sensor which will shut the system down during wet periods to prevent the turf and landscape from being overwatered. Once set to automatic there is nothing more for the homeowner to do but sit back and enjoy a luscious green yard from the comfort of his armchair!
