Watering is essential for plants because of its growth. Looking to the fact that rain does not occur frequently, there is need to come up with alternate solutions that could help provide plants ample water. Installing of irrigation system is answer for this. It is an artificial system that helps in providing equal amount of water to plants at selected time.

Installing of sprinkler systems requires expert hands. This is because only right set of tools and equipment with experts can help carry out the installation process of sprinkler systems effectively.

Following are the steps taken by professionals for installing of sprinkler systems-

Irrigation system design is foremostly done by professionals, before carrying out the installation process.

Water pressure is determined from the main line, once designing is done.

Measurement of area is done where installation is required to be done. This needs to be done accurately so that equivalent amount of water in provided to entire part of the lawn. Measurement helps in determining how many sprinklers are required to be installed.

Once experts are done with measurements, the area is marked where sprinklers are to be installed.

Various tools are used to carry out digging process. At least about 6 to 12 inches digging is done deep in the ground. Quality tools are used so that process of digging is done in a lot easier and less time, as compared to digging performed manually.

After digging, pipes are installed and sprinkler hoses are attached to water supply. Fittings likes pipe, sprinkler heads, valves, glue, etc. are used while installation.

Many aspects are considered very important while installing pipes are high water pressure. This factor is based on the pipe size required because for high pressure, pipes of big sizes are used and for low pressure, pipes of small sizes are used.

 In addition to this, pipe size factor also depends on area that is needed to be watered.

Right fittings are essential to carry out the installation process effectively. Fittings that are taken into consideration include pipes. It needs to be burred in ground at proper depth, because too deep pipe buried does not provide good amount of pressure.
Once installation is over, working of sprinkler system is checked. This helps ensure whether each zone is getting equal amount of water or not. Over-shooting of water is needed to be adjusted to avoid water wastage.
