Water Sprinkler Systmes

If you want to be able to keep your grass looking healthy and green all year round you need the Rainbird 1800. You still want to be able to leave your home on extended vacations, then you will certainly need to install sprinklers for your home’s landscaping. While old style sprinklers were only designed for use on grass and other plants that could stand a lot of abuse, you can now find sprinklers in all shapes and sizes that are perfect for everything from watering your trees to watering the most fragile flowers you can imagine. Even with no experience whatsoever when it comes to designing a Rainbird 1800, you can create your own Rainbird 1800 array in no time so long as you know how to shovel dirt. Obviously, installing a lawn sprinkler system will be easier if you have experience with plumbing and all of your grass has not been laid, but even if you are a complete novice and have already laid your grass, you can still create a professional quality sprinkler array in a few short hours.

How much does the Rainbird 1800 need to cover?

Once you have determined roughly how much land your Rainbird 1800 will need to cover, you should head to your local hardware store to buy the parts. First on your list should be a Rainbird 1800 timer so that you can easily set the times in which your sprinkler system activates. This can allow you to run your sprinklers at night and when you are on vacation, meaning that you do not have to constantly worry about watering your lawn manually. Next, you must decide what type of sprinkler you want to use. Most commonly, you will have a choice between a copper sprinkler and a plastic sprinkler.

Both varieties are well built and will last you for a long time, so if you do not feel like the extra money, go for the plastic parts. The most common type of Rainbird 1800 you will probably see when you are looking for your own parts is the pop up Rainbird 1800. These tuck away underneath the grass when they are not in use. Alternatively though, you can purchase an orbit sprinkler or a tripod sprinkler with your own sprinkler head so that you can completely control the amount of water you are distributing to your outdoor flora. However, these freestanding sprinklers can be exposed to both the elements and to vandals who may wish to steal your sprinklers right out of your yard.

Installing the Rainbird 1800

When installing a garden Rainbird 1800 system, the first things that you will want to figure out is what areas of your property you want to water and where that water will come from. For most of us, watering a patch of grass with water from the main water line that runs near our house will be the solution; however, if you live in an area that is surrounded with wide open spaces and has a small body of water on the property, you will need something with a little more oomph. Living out in the countryside has its advantages though, as you will not have to pay for water usage if you have a small pond and a Rainbird 1800 pump to draw the water with. This can help you save money in the long run because you only have to buy the pump and you never have to pay a monthly fee for the water consumption.

A Rainbird 1800 system will add multiple benefits to your home. Not only will it make all of your landscaping that you ahve worked hard on green, but it will add that missing touch to your plants and grass. There is absolutely no reason for you work so hard to replace the plants and shrubs, reseed your grass to just manually hook up an old fashion Rainbird 5000. With a new sprinkler system on your property, you can set up an automatic timer. What people usually do is set it in the summer when less rain comes. You are able to set the timer to go off in the morning before the sun comes up. This way when the heat hits your lawn, it will be moist enough to grow and prosper. If you want your lawn to get green fast, you can set a timer for the Rainbird 1800 to run at dawn as well.

Enjoying the Rainbird 1800

After all is said and done, and you have decided on the perfect Rainbird 1800 for your home, be sure and purchase some spare parts so you can do a little home lawn sprinkler repair if ever anything breaks. That way you will not have to run back to the hardware store at a moment’s notice just for a leak or a busted Rainbird 5000 head.
