Tips & Tricks

Watch for runoff

Check sidewalks and driveways

Be green and save money too. Check often for excessive runoff from your irrigation system as well as puddles or pools of water. It may only take a slight adjustment of nozzles, spray emitters, or water timers for substantial water savings.

Check hose washers on hose-thread fittings

To ensure water-tight seal

Over time, hose washers can compress or deteriorate, causing fittings to leak. Check garden hoses and fittings for a flexible hose washer. Replace brittle or worn washers. Insert a hose filter washer for a little added filtration in your hose or drip poly tubing. If the fitting still leaks, try adding a second washer. For pipe threads, use Teflon tape.

FAQ

How do I hook a drip system up to the water supply?

Our Connecting to the Water Source tutorial will outline all the components needed to set up a hose bibb connection or connect to the main water supply.

How long should I leave the water running?

When programming a controller, there are a few things to consider. How LONG should I water? How OFTEN? What TIME OF DAY? On WHICH DAYS? Check out this tutorial for suggestions and tips: Planning a Watering Schedule.

Controller

Also referred to as a clock, or timer, an irrigation controller is an electronic, programmable device that controls the timing of automatic electronic valves in an irrigation sytem. The valves control the flow of water to sprinklers and drip systems. The contoller sends electricty (low voltage) to the valve on the day and time set in the controller schedule and for the duration programmed by the user.

High end controllers employ weather-based controls ( ex. rain sensors, soil moisture monitors, real-time weather data), internet connections, cell phones, and remote controls for use with sophisticated irrigation systems. See also Irrigation Schedule.

Female Hose Thread

See Hose Thread

GPM

GPM: Gallons Per Minute

When designing a sprinkler system is it important to know your flow rate as sprinkler heads have varying GPM outputs and requirements. Add up the output of all your proposed sprinklers (in GPM) to determine the total allowable with your given flow rate. See also Sprinkler,  Flow Rate.

GPH

GPH: Gallons Per Hour. See also Flow Rate.

Hose Thread

Officially called "Garden Hose Thread" (GHT), hose threads are found on garden hoses and many irrigation parts and adapter fittings. Generally referred to as "3/4" hose threads" the outer diameter is 1.0625 inches and has a pitch of 11.5 tpi (threads per inch). Hose threads are NOT the same as pipe threads and should never be screwed into pipe threaded fittings.   

Male hose threads are found on the outside of a fitting and thread into female hose threads.

Female hose threads are found on the inside of a fitting and accept male hose threads.

Hose threads do not require Teflon tape or pipe dope (like pipe threads), just a hose washer. If you find a water leak with hose threads, it is most likely a worn hose washer. It may be time to replace it. Hose washers are found inside fittings with female hose threads. See also Pipe Thread, Adapter, Swivel, Hose Washer, Teflon Tape

Male Hose Thread

Timer

Faucet

Spigot

See Hose Bibb.

Hose Washer

Rubber gasket found inside fittings with female hose threads that makes a water-tight seal. See also Hose Thread.

Hose Bibb

Also known as a spigot, faucet, or hydrant, a hose bibb is a manual valve attached to the main water line and found at most homes and some commercial buildings. It has male hose threads and is degined to accomodate the connection of a garden hose.
