What are the components of an automatic sprinklers system?
A. A typical system is comprised of a controller (which functions as the brains of the system), valves (which open and close to release and stop the flow of water to underground pipes) and sprinklers (which distribute water to specific areas). The sprinkler system can be customized further with rain shut off devices, soil moisture sensors and drip irrigation zones. It is best if all of a system’s components are manufactured by the same company in order to ensure that they will work well together. Rain Bird designs and manufactures the most complete line of components that make up an efficient irrigation system. Rain Bird also has a nationwide network of home improvement dealers, irrigation distributors and irrigation contractors to help you choose and install the right Rain Bird product for your landscape’s diverse watering needs.
