Sprinkler systems are watering systems that distribute them as fine showers of spray to maximize the water distributed over an area. This saves water consumption and human labor as well because a little bit of water is spread out and supplied to a wider section of land.

IRRIGATION AND FIRE

The science behind the sprinkler systems is that as water passes through a smaller diameter, the water pressure increases. The principle is the same as the one used in a popular childhood game - putting a finger in a water hose to increase the projectile and then aim the water at an unsuspecting victim. Only this time, the sprinkler system makes use of smaller holes and a more sophisticated automated system.

There are two general types: one is the irrigation sprinkler systems which includes the sprinkler systems for crops, lawns, gardens, golf courses, etc. The second type is the fire sprinkler which is installed in houses and buildings as first line of defense against fire. These fire sprinkler systems works with a smoke or heat detection alarm which when triggered activates the sprinkler system and sprays the edifice with water to prevent the possibility and spread of fire.

EVERY DROP COUNTS

The extent to which these sprinkler systems can be of help to us is dependent on how reliable the system is and in the proper installation of the parts. Since there a lot of moving components, proper guidance is needed to correctly install them. Among reputable sprinkler system brands are the toro sprinkler system and the hunter sprinkler systems, both of which are widely available. There are more, just ask for your nearby hardware store for recommendations that will best suit your needs.

While sprinkler systems have been valuable to society, particularly in terms of irrigation of crops for consumption, the real value of these ingenious devices is that they make every single drip of precious water count.
