How Do I choose the best in ground sprinkler system for my needs?

Answer 1

it depends what your needs are and where you would like to water such as a turf area or a flower beds and what water pressure you have and how many gallons per min your main line puts out and that will determine what heads can be used and where and how far you have to space them out it also depends the layout of your landscape some landscapes you can use rain birds others you have to use pop ups and my advice to you is you use crappy parts you will pay for it later so use good quality parts such as rain bird and even orbit is rather good but my preference is rain bird here is my list to stay Away from ALL HUNTER clocks they will not work and so with some parts not all but some I have never had problems with any rainbird products ALL TORO Valves they will leak no matter what you do

Answer 2

depending on your landscaping.
most companies will give you a free quote and tell you what it will take.

flowerbeds- need mister heads
lawn- needs rotary heads

Timers- Rainbird and Hunter are the best
Valves- Rainbird or irritrol the best
Rotors- Hunter I-20 or Hunter PGP (rainbird rotors suck)
Misters- Rainbird 1800s

stay away from Toro, Nelson, Orbit, weathermatic, and lawngenie parts
