This project, like so many of our other retrofits, will offer extended water savings while reducing wasteful overspray. Too often new systems are not installed to manufacturer specifications and poor coverage is the result.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
-
The bigger the house, the bigger the irrigation system. Large residences like this often require constant maintenance on their systems.
-
The first step was getting the system under control at a remote level. Proper installed a smart controller that will not only save water throughout the year but it will also allow us to monitor the system for any scheduling issues without going on site.
-
Over the years heads have been swapped out for inferior quality models, Proper is going through the system and installing the correct head for a reclaimed system, complete with check valves to reduce wasted end of cycle run off.
-
Heads are typically broken along hardscapes, all heads that Proper replace have flexible tubing added to eliminate this type of repair from happening again.
-
With 48 stations and most being drip irrigation, its crucial valves use regulators and filters for drip stations. As the system is retrofitted Drip Zone Control Kits are being added.
-
The HCC controller that was installed also has the capability of remotely communicating with zone valves, this will allow us to get valves up and running that have not been working for a long time due to wire issues.
CHALLENGE
-
Centralizing control of 48 stations and hydrozones on a single controller.
SOLUTION
-
Installed a Hunter HCC controller and targeted priority repairs.
RESULT
-
Substantial reduction in runoff, wet hardscapes, water usage and general sitting water around property.
