  Eco-Systems and water conservation

At Eco-Systems, water conservation is at the top of the list of concerns when custom designing an irrigation system. In a time, more than ever, when every drop of water counts, drip irrigation is used for precise water distribution. Drip irrigation is a method of delivering water slowly, at a low pressure, at or near the root zone of the landscape. Because drip irrigation allows you to target precise areas, it can result in water savings of 30 to 65 percent compared to traditional systems.

 When choosing a contractor you should be wary of those who offer to charge you significantly less than others. Low bidders may not be licensed or insured and may often use cost-cutting techniques that can jeopardize your lawn and shorten the life of your irrigation system.

Watch out for these commonly used, undesirable short-cuts:

• Not including a backflow preventer:This is often required by local codes to protect your drinking water
• Installing sprinklers too far apart:This makes it impossible for certain areas to receive enough water and can cause brown spots during hot summer months. In most cases more zones = a better lawn
• Mixing sprinklers with different application rates on the same line: This causes one area to be overwatered in order to sufficiently water another area
• Not using special watertight connectors and a protective vavle box:These components are necessary to safeguard the electrical elements, guard against short circuits and prevent corrosion
