Six Different Types Of Lawn Sprinkler Systems For Your Home
What type of Lawn Sprinkler is right for you? There are a wide range of different models available
. The right one for you will depend on the size of your lawn and how much you have available to spend.
The most basic type of sprinkler is a stationary sprinkler. It has many holes that spray out water. It is attached to a hose and the height of the spray is dependent on the pressure of the water flow. Spraying large areas requires you to physically pick it up and move it.
Oscillating sprinklers are also stationary and need to be moved manually to cover areas outside the initial spray field. Instead of a fixed head however, the sprinkler head moves back and forth. This action means a much larger area of lawn can be covered than with a stationary model.
Impulse sprinklers use lower pressure than other stationary models. They are also more efficient as the spray height can be adjusted to keep it low to the ground in windy conditions. And, they avoid wasting water on low hanging branches of trees.
Rotary sprinklers have a number of arms that spray water as the arms spin around. They are very good for watering small areas and are reasonably priced for their purpose.
Forgetting to move a stationary sprinkler can result in a patchy lawn that is sodden in one place and dry in others. A traveling sprinkler moves by itself so all parts of a lawn are covered, and none are over watered.
Pop up sprinklers have a piping system laid underground that feeds pop up sprinkler heads. As the system is designed to cover the whole area, it is as simple to use as turning on and off a faucet.
Having a Lawn Sprinkler can make keeping your lawn fresh and green easy. And, with the variety of models to choose from there is one for every size lawn.
