EFFICIENT WATER SAVINGS USING DRIP IRRIGATION
With many areas facing droughts and enforcing water restrictions periodically throughout the year, conserving water and using it efficiently is sensible and saves you money. A professionally designed drip irrigation system will provide minimal water runoff, little if any evaporation, and deep percolation.
As part of Steve's Sprinkler Repair services, our irrigation specialists design and install professional drip irrigation systems to ensure that plants, trees, flowers, and foliage receive proper watering directly at the roots.
HOW DOES DRIP IRRIGATION WORK?
Drip irrigation means that drops of water are slowly delivered to the soil directly at the root zone of plants and trees, without wasting water on areas of the landscape that don’t need it.
By placing the drip emitters just at the plant’s root zone, you can use less water and with greater efficiency. This irrigation method allows the water to move deeper into the soil, encouraging deeper root growth.
In addition, the low flow of the drip system enables the watering of large areas using a single water source. Another advantage of using a low-flowing drip irrigation system is that it allows watering any time of the day!
The working principle of drip irrigation is based on the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum concept (SPAC). According to this concept, water and dissolved minerals move through the soil from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration by means of gravity and capillary action.
The water then moves through the plant and finally evaporates from the leaves into the atmosphere. The continuum concept helps to understand how water moves in the soil-plant-atmosphere system and is a useful tool for designing irrigation systems.
WHEN TO USE A DROP IRRIGATION SYSTEM?
Drip irrigation can be used on all types of landscapes, including slopes and flat areas. It is an efficient way to water trees, shrubs, ground covers, and even potted plants.
Drip irrigation is the most efficient type of irrigation system, using less water than other methods such as sprinklers. With a properly designed and installed drip irrigation system, you can save water and money while still providing your plants and landscaping with the moisture they need to stay healthy and thrive.
BENEFITS OF DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Water Efficiency and Savings: Applying slow drips of water directly where it’s needed eliminates runoff and leads to less evaporation from soil and leaves. This also achieves maximum water conservation and savings on your water bill.
Professional Installation: Steve's Sprinkler installs your drip irrigation system quickly and efficiently. You will have your system working the same day, we guarantee it!
Eliminating Weeds and Water-Borne Pests: By focusing the water on the root base of the plants, weeds will not receive the moisture needed to spread. This process also reduces the standing water, which provides mosquitoes the chance to lay their eggs and spread disease.
Versatile and Flexible: Slow drip irrigation systems can be used in new and existing landscapes, easily adapting to configurations where there are slopes, rugged terrain, and areas that receive a lot of wind.
Targeting the Root Zone: Steve's drip irrigation systems are meant to improve and increase existing or new root activity, which creates a beneficial environment for plant growth.
Savings: Conservation and saving money are two great reasons why you should invest in a professionally installed drip irrigation system by Steve’s Sprinkler Repair LLC.
As you can see, a low-volume drip irrigation system benefits your landscape, improves the aesthetics around the outside of your home, and protects the environment. If you’re tired of losing your plants, shrubs, flowers, and trees to hot Texas summers, give us a call to schedule!
FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM
When it comes to your landscaping, you want what’s best for it. That’s why when choosing an irrigation system, you need to take a few factors into consideration:
1) Climate
The first thing you need to consider is the climate where you live. Different climates will need different types of irrigation systems. For example, areas that experience long droughts or are particularly hot will require a different irrigation system then places with a lot of rainfall.
2) Soil type
The type of soil you have will also dictate what type of irrigation system you need. Different types of soil absorb water at different rates, so it’s important to take this into account when choosing an irrigation system. The soil type will also affect how deep the roots of your plants grow.
3) Land topography
Another factor to consider is the topography of your land. This includes things like the slope of your land, as well as any obstacles that might be in the way (trees, buildings, etc.). All of these factors will affect how water flows across your land and need to be taken into account when choosing an irrigation system.
4) Water quality
Some type of filtration is required for all drip irrigation systems. The water quality in your area will determine what type of filtration system you need. If you have city water, you will likely only need a simple sediment filter to keep particulates from clogging your emitters. If you have well water, you may need a more sophisticated filtration system to remove iron and other minerals from the water.
5) Plant type
The type of plants you are growing will also dictate what type of irrigation system you need. Different plants have different water requirements, so it’s important to choose an irrigation system that can accommodate the needs of your particular plants.
Now that you know what factors to consider when choosing an irrigation system, it’s time to make a decision. Steve’s Sprinkler Repair LLC offers a variety of irrigation systems to meet the needs of any landscape. Contact us today to learn more about our services.
