SPRINKLER ALERT!

The HEAT is on! DUE TO HIGH HEAT AND PROLONG DRY PERIOD WE ARE ADVISING ALL OF OUR CLIENTS TO DO THE FOLLOWING:

rotary-sprinklers.jpg1. Increase the run time on your rotary sprinkler zones to 60 minutes per day for sunny areas.

2. Increase your SPRAY sprinkler zones to water for 15 minutes every day.

3. Increase your DRIP IRRIGATION zones to water for 60 minutes every day.

4. Increase the water budget key on your sprinklers to 110% or more.

5. Water as early in the morning as possible. Start at 1 am if possible. This will give your system the greatest pressure and volume and operate at the highest efficiency. It will also finish the cycle before you are up and using water in the home.


SIM-LogoJuly is Smart Irrigation Month and is typically the month of highest water demand for lawns and landscapes in the United States. The Irrigation Association has named July as Smart Irrigation Month to increase public awareness about simple practices and innovative technologies for homeowners, businesses, and property managers can use to:

Impatiens.jpg1. Save money on water usage.
2. Conserve water and protect the community's water supply.
3. Reduce runoff and prevent leaching of valuable nutrients in the soil.
4. Public safety. When the demand is high for water usage the pressure and availability of water is reduced at fire hydrants.

According to the experts, most homeowners and property managers over water by up to 30%!



Drip Irrigation

Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Pots1.jpgWhat better way to add color and visual interest to your front porch, patio, deck or pool then with a beautiful potted plant. Many clients have already added flower boxes, hanging baskets and pots to their homes but then find it difficult to water them regularly.

We resolved this situation several years ago by adding drip irrigation to all of the above. It's been so successful we took it one step further by installing a separate drip zone for the flower pots which is independent of the existing sprinkler system having the ability to run the cycle more frequently and for a longer period of time.

Everyday Rain Rich is installing drip irrigation on almost every new install and account we service. Drip irrigation has some many applications it is impossible to list them all.




Happy Mother's Day

3-mother's-day.jpgThis weekend marks a very special holiday, Mother's Day.

In celebration of this holiday most will buy flowers, or beautiful plants such as geraniums, marigolds, petunias or impatiens. Like anything else, plants require constant care, and a few hot days without rain or water can kill off even the most drought tolerant plants. Most find it difficult and time consuming to water them regularly.

In honor of Mother's Day, you can receive $50 off any new drip system for flower pots, window boxes and hanging baskets. This year why not buy her something different, the Rain Rich Drip Irrigation System.

 

For those of you that may not know drip irrigation, it is a low volume method of delivering water slowly, close to the root zone of plants. The technology has been around for over 50 years and has been successfully used in the agriculture and landscape industry.
