An irrigation system is divided into zones so the water pressure goes where it is needed, one area at a time. A good layout matches the zones to the sun, the soil, and the plant types instead of running everything at once.
The design
Each zone covers an area with similar watering needs, so a lawn zone and a shrub zone are never on the same valve. mineral-rich water varies by region, and older neighborhoods still run on aging galvanized or copper lines In San Leandro, the summer heat decides how the zones are split.
The valves
One valve per zone, wired to the controller, opens and closes to run that section of the system.
The balance
The zones are balanced by flow and head pressure so every sprinkler gets enough water without fogging or starving.
The schedule
The controller runs the zones at different times and durations, and a smart controller adjusts to the weather.
The call
Lay out the zones so the whole yard gets even water. Call 888-217-3585 and San Leandro Plumbing Pros will match you with a San Leandro pro.
