Irrigation Installation

Our Sprinkler Installation System Works Better

 

  

 What sets us apart from others is how we install our sprinkler and irrigation systems. Shulfer’s Sprinklers & Landscaping installs what is called a main line system as opposed to what is called a manifold system.  

  

 A manifold system has all the valves in one location, usually above ground, and all the branch lines (or zone lines) have to come back to this location. This makes for a messy and inefficient system-  it typically doesn’t allow you to run as many heads at a time and you have to hide the valve manifold system with a shrub planting.  

  

 A main line system is a single water line from the water source to our automatic valves, which are below ground inside green valve boxes for easy access. Our larger diameter main line, which we trench in at about 15 inches deep, allows more water volume through the system to run more sprinkler heads at a time and thus have fewer zones. The branch lines (or zone lines) are connected to the automatic valves and pulled through the ground at about 10 inches deep.  

  

 By pulling in our branch lines we have very little lawn disturbance if you have an existing lawn and landscape. It leaves a small slit in the lawn and within a week or two of watering you can’t even tell anything was done, except that your lawn and landscape are greener and healthier.
