Tip: Make sure and have your sprinkler system blown out well before winter weather dips below freezing so that you do not freeze pipes in your home or damage your sprinkler lines.

Q. Will an automatic sprinkler system use more water than I am currently using?
A. No. -- In fact, an automatic sprinkler system will conserve water. You will never have to worry about runoff fromoverwatering or about wasting water if you forget to turn off the hose. Plus, with a Rain Bird moisture sensor your system will know when it is raining and simply turn itself off when water is not needed.

Q. Does having a sprinkler system really save time?
A. Yes. -- You won't have to spend another minute of your valuable leisure time watering the lawn. Your new system will do all the watering for you - even when you are away from home!

Q. Will an automatic sprinkler system water as well as I do when I water by hand?

Q. Are there different sprinkler systems from which to choose?
A. Although every system should be tailored to meet one's individual needs, a typical system is comprised of a controller (which functions as the brains of the system), valves (which open and close to release and stop the flow of water to underground pipes) and sprinklers (which distribute water to specific areas).

Q. How do I know what type of sprinkler system is best for me?
A. It is always best to work with a professional irrigation contractor who is knowledgeable about factors such as water source and pressure, soil type, planting materials, and weather conditions. A professional will take all of this into consideration when designing a system specific to the needs of your landscape.
