The lack of moisture has a drastic effect on the condition of the lawn grass, especially if the laying was done not so long ago. Irregular watering leads to the fact that the grass dries up and turns yellow. In addition, irrigation should be carried out not only with a certain periodicity, but also at a specific time of day, and this is not always possible if all operations are performed manually.
Will help SYSTEM автоматического полива, which will determine when and with what intensity the lawn needs to be watered, almost without human intervention.
The device of the automatic irrigation system
Mandatory components of such a system are:
The controller is a computer that collects data from sensors and controls the operation of the pump.
A pipeline connected to a stationary water supply or to a water tank. It is almost completely under the soil layer.
Electric pump – provides the necessary pressure in water tanks.
Sprayers (nozzles) are intended for uniform distribution of liquid on the surface. They are divided into rotary and sector.
The soil moisture sensor transmits data to the controller for correct irrigation control.
A rain sensor can also be present in the system, which prevents excessive water consumption.
Maintenance of self-watering
Automatic irrigation systems require minimal maintenance, which consists in flushing the pipelines and disassembling the controller and electric pump if these units are located in the open air.
Blowing is a mandatory procedure that is performed once an hour in late autumn. This is necessary in order to remove all the liquid from the system. The fact is that when cold weather approaches, water can freeze and damage plastic pipes, which will lead to the need to replace them. Meanwhile, replacing even a small section of the system involves removing the top layer of soil with a lawn, dismantling the damaged section, connecting a new piece of pipe and returning the lawn to its original place.
Conclusion
A competently laid and adjusted system of automatic watering will not only save a huge amount of time and effort, but also almost guarantees a pleasant and well-groomed appearance of the lawn. The main thing is not to forget to trim the ego periodically.
