A Little Information About Lawn Sprinkler System Installations In Michigan:

• Michigan sprinkler systems are broken into zones for water pressure and even water distribution. The average water pressure in southeast Michigan is 40psi and the average GPM is 13. Several zones or electric valves are needed to water an entire property. A sprinkler valve is operated by a sprinkler controller which operates each zone separately-turning water on and off based on a programmed schedule.
  
  In Michigan lawn sprinkler systems are made of polyethylene piping extending out from your homes copper water supply and Febco 765 Backflow preventer. Fittings are cut into the poly pipe and extended off of funny pipe (3/8" flexible pipe) where the sprinkler head is attached. Sprinkler heads can throw water in a full circle, a half circle, or quarter circle. Two types of sprinkler heads are available. A gear driven rotary sprinkler head from Rain Bird or Hunter, or a mist head (or pop-up).
  
  Installing an inground automatic sprinkler system in Michigan requires a lot of planning, check with your city to obtain any necessary permits. Prior to installation, a home owner doing it yourself or your lawn sprinkler installation contractor must contact Miss Dig at 1-800-482-7171 and have them mark where their lines are buried. It is a good idea to blueprint your property and draw in where the utility lines are buried and where your sprinkler system pipes get buried for future reference.
  
  Gear drive sprinkler heads are now the sprinkler head of choice because of coverage and durability. A properly designed sprinkler system will provide overlap coverage, with head-to-head coverage, the water from one sprinkler head will reach all the way to the next sprinkler head. If the water streams do not overlap you will end up with green belts along with dry areas which can make your lawn look worse than before your sprinkler system installation in Michigan. We install Rain Bird 5000 series gear drive rotors on all our new sprinkler system installations in Michigan.
  
  In Michigan your sprinkler systems mainline will run into the ground and connect to a manifold that has a group of electric valves. Each sprinkler valve is connected to a zone. A sprinkler controller is used to open each valve one zone at a time, then close that valve at the end of the watering cycle. As professional lawn sprinkler installers in Michigan, we use only the best components and use Rainbird 100DV valves and Rain Bird Jartop valves on all our Michigan sprinkler system installations.
  
  Between the your sprinkler system and your home water supply line, you will are required to install a Backflow Preventer. Backflow preventers stop the backflow of contaminated water into your homes drinking water supply.We install the Febco 765-1 Backflow Preventers on all our Michigan sprinkler system installations.
  
  Upon completion of the above steps the sprinkler system clock or controller is installed. Common practice is to mount the sprinkler system controller in the garage where high grade, low voltage, direct burial wires are then run between the controller and control valves.

As you can easily see, sprinkler system installation in Michigan is not an easy task and should not be undertaken by just anyone. Further, additional knowledge and learning will be required before beginning a sprinkler system installation in Michigan.
