💧 Optimizing Your Irrigation System Zones
The number of irrigation zones you need hinges on your property size. Furthermore, it depends on whether you have a drip system, a sprinkler system, or both. Consequently, your system will feature one, several, or many zones. Each zone is controlled by a valve connected to a manifold.
To give you an idea, let's look at minimum zone requirements. Generally, five to six sprinkler rotor heads is the limit for one zone. Alternatively, eight to ten spray heads typically define a single zone's maximum capacity.
Significantly, most systems we install exceed ten rotor heads total. However, some zones cover smaller areas. Therefore, these specific zones might only have a few heads. Finally, we use some zones to accommodate varying watering intervals (longer or shorter).
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What factors determine the number of irrigation zones needed for a property?
A: The number of required irrigation zones depends primarily on two factors: the size of the property and the type of systems installed (i.e., whether you have a drip system, a sprinkler system, or both).
Q: What physically controls each individual irrigation zone?
A: Each individual zone is controlled by a valve that is connected to a central manifold.
Q: What is the typical limit for the number of sprinkler heads in a single zone?
A: Generally, a single zone is limited to about five to six sprinkler rotor heads or approximately eight to ten spray heads.
