Kamloops Irrigation Installation
Welcome to Kamloops; semi-desert, dry climate and 40 degree summers. Some people may wonder why anyone would ever want to live here. But Kamloopsians know. There’s nothing better! Of course there’s down sides to every great thing, and for Kamloops, one of those can be watering/irrigation issues.
It goes like this: Turn your water on outside of your restrictions, even an extra 30 minutes, and you risk being fined. But miss a watering day, and it could be the end of certain plants and it could even turn your lawn from a luscious green to a dirty yellow for the remainder of the summer. Not to mention that we are now on metered water systems. And on that note, here’s a fun fact: Watering your lawn for just one hour uses over 500 litres of water. Thats over 30 flushes of the toilet, and 10 loads of laundry.
Ok, so that fact wasn’t really so “fun”. But one solution that can definitely help you have more fun is having underground sprinklers installed. Here are some more fun facts and advantages of installing an irrigation system.
#1. Saves time -You have complete control over the automatic watering times. That means no more getting up and down, in and out of bed to turn the water on and off, and no more moving the hose every 20 minutes.
#2. Saves water -Have you ever forgot to turn your water off? An irrigation system never forgets. And instead of leaving the hose on for the whole of your watering time, you can program your sprinklers to give the plants and lawn the exact amount of time needed right down to the minute.
#3. Saves your plants and lawn -Your plants and lawn will do much better when they have a more consistent watering schedule. The system’s timer can be adjusted so that each aspect of your landscape get’s the exact amount of time and water flow that it needs.
#4. Saves money -Once again, have you ever forgot to shut the hose off? That adds up over the course of a year to a lot of money literally down the drain. The irrigation system will shut off on time, every time.
There are also many other advantages to installing underground sprinklers.
– They can be installed with very minimal disturbance to your existing yard or garden.
– They can installed to water flowerpots, or garden beds.
– They can be up-graded from an existing system, and they can be added to in years to come.
– They are very easy to operate.
With these things in mind you may decide that it’s time to have underground sprinklers installed in your yard. The thing to remember is that an irrigation system is installed once, buried in the ground and should never have to be thought of too much again. For this reason it’s important to have your system installed by certified professionals.
