System efficiency matters. Many of the communities we service are experiencing water rates increases.  Olde Towne Irrigation  continues to be the leader in offering smart watering solutions to our clients.

Throughout the season we will be continually updated our blog with the latest technology available for water conservation. Our goal is to help conserve water the best we can while still assuring a healthy and lush landscape.

Pressure Regulated Sprinkler (PRS) Heads

The use of pressure regulated sprinkler (PRS) heads has become common practice for our company.  These PRS heads have been proven to save up to one gallon of water per minute.

For a lawn sprinkler system that may consist of twenty heads watering between fifteen to thirty minutes per cycle, these sprinkler heads will deliver tremendous savings over the course of a year.

In Tune with Water Restrictions

PRS technology is also in compliance with the many water restriction laws that are beginning to get enacted across the country. Notably California’s AB1881 Law.

Don’t Wait

Give us a call today to schedule the winterizing of your irrigation system. We look forward to hearing from you.

Fall Winterizations

Fall winterizations involve draining out all of the water from your backflow and copper pipes associated with the irrigation system to prevent freeze damage over the winter. We ‘blow out’ all your zones to prevent your underground pipes and heads from being damaged during the winter months. A properly winterized irrigation system will help ensure that everything is in working order come spring time saving you unnecessary repair expenses.

Beginning a couple of seasons ago, we made the use of pressure-regulated sprinkler heads standard practice within our company. Why is it important to use sprinkler heads with built-in pressure regulators?

First, it conserves water by controlling the amount of pressure each individual nozzle puts out, allowing the sprinkler head to operate within the optimum pressure range. The ideal pressure for your residential rotor is 45 PSI (pounds per square inch). A system that is being run on too much pressure is not running efficiently. The flow rate will be increased, which simply means that more water is being forced through the sprinkler head than what is required.

Secondly, the throwing radius of the head is not covering what it was designed to do. Higher than necessary pressure will cause the heads to mist and the desired droplet size of the water output is too small. The slightest amount of wind will displace those smaller droplets to their not intended target, causing some areas of the turf to be too wet and others too dry. Uniformed coverage and distribution are lost at this point. The common reaction of the average landscaper (the person who cuts your grass) or homeowner to correct this is to increase the run time (apply more water, money) to help the effected dry spots, forgetting about the areas that are already too wet.
