Frequently Asked Questions
#1 Some things to consider:
There are many important factors we will review upon making any
recommendations: water pressure, water source, soil type, weather
conditions, safety and security. Upon your installation we will make sure
there is minimum disruption to your existing foliage. We will go over the
new system with you and make sure you thoroughly understand how to fully
operate your lawn sprinkler system.
#2 Are you insured and what is the warranty?
Yes Blueline Irrigation is a fully licensed and insured company and all of our products feature a full two year warranty. Even if we did not install it we can repair your lawn sprinkler system. All of our on-site staff have at least four years of field experience to ensure prompt work at a great price.
#3 Will a Sprinkler System use more water?
Yes, but the water is concentrated where it is needed and is controlled
better using a timer. No more turning on the hose and forgetting to turn it
off. Also, using a rain sensor, the automatic system knows when it is
raining outside and therefore shuts itself off when water is not needed. Furthermore, most of the brands BlueLine uses offer "Smart" features such as App Controls from Smart Phones or the Web expanding the role of technology in lawn care.
#4 How much does and irrigation system cost?
Irrigation systems will vary in price due to many factors. Price will
reflect on property size, number of zones needed, size of water supply,
landscaping and other preferences on your behalf. You can depend on us to
design a high quality, cost effective system of quality parts to best suit
your irrigation needs.
#5 What are the benefits of a irrigation system?
Benefits of a proper irrigation system include, but are not limited to: A
beautiful healthy lawn/garden. Protecting your investment in landscaping.
An investment in the appearance of your home/business as it adds value to
your property. Also, having an automatic sprinkler system offers
convenience and saves time. An automatic sprinkler system literally does
all the work for you, allowing you to just relax and enjoy your beautiful
lawn/garden.
#6 Does my system need to be Winterized?
Yes. If your irrigation system was turned on at all throughout the year
it will need to be shut off and blown out before cold weather hits. This is
to assure you that your pipes are clear of water so your system is not
damaged when freezing temperatures come. Your outside valve can shatter if water is still in the system leading to an expensive repair and possibly serious water leaks. Always let a professional like BlueLine handle your Winterization.
#7 What is a Vaccum Breaker and what
does it do in a lawn sprinkler system?
Vacuum breakers are generally located outside of the house. It is a
brass check valve that connects your system to the water supply inside. Its
purpose is to allow water out to your irrigation system and prevent water
from flowing back inside the home/building. It is required by city code to
have a vacuum breaker if you have a sprinkler system.
