You can install your own lawn irrigation system and save money and time. However, it’s
not one of the easiest do-it-yourself assignments. You have to be extra careful in
planning and purchasing the correct components. Putting an Irrigation system yourself
can save you up to 40% of the cost of a professional installation. However, maintaining
an improperly installed system can be very difficult and costly, so take your time to do
it right from the start. Please read all the instructions first and then decide whether to
do it yourself or hire a professional.

Before installing an irrigation system, you’ll need to:
1.Call and check for underground utilities before digging.
2.Check your water pressure in pounds per square inch (psi).
3.Check water service line size.
4.Check water flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM).
5.Know the type of backflow prevention required by local code.
6.Know the type of your grass and soil; it affects the efficiency of
irrigation

Once you are done with your pre-planning and pre-
assembling parts, lay out the pieces first.
Connect the PVC Pipe – Cut the pipe straight to length so the pipe is fully seated in the
fitting. Make the edges smooth with a knife. Insert the pipe into the fitting and adjust
to the correct position. Remove the pipe from the fitting. Brush both the outside of
the pipe and the inside of the fitting with cement. At the end, push the pipe into the
fitting. Spread the cement and make a bead along the edge of the fitting. The bead
should extend all the way around the pipe.
Connect Polyethylene Pipe – Cut the pipe to length. Place a clamp on each end. Insert
the fitting into the pipe. Tighten the clamps.

Connect Heads - Heads usually thread onto the riser. It’s very important to flush debris
from the line before final connection of sprinkler heads.
Connect the System to the Service Line – There are two ways to connect your irrigation
system to the water supply.
1.You can connect your valve to an existing outdoor faucet .
2.You can also connect directly to the service line.
Install Backflow Prevention – An irrigation system requires a backflow preventer. Due
to reverse pressure from the system, backflow can allow chemicals from the lawn to
enter the water supply and cause serious problems. When an irrigation system is not
in use, a backflow preventer closes the system.

Controlling the System – Each zone has its own control valve. The controller will
allow you to run one zone at a time to maximize water pressure. You must choose
controllers based on the number of zones you have in your irrigation system. You can
program your controller to run for a particular time and day and it shut off
automatically. A rain sensor is also very useful when installing an irrigation system. It
automatically shuts off the system in rain and leaves you at ease when you’re away
from home. To preserve water, controllers and rain sensors are great tools. They
regulate how much water goes out and when it is most needed, reducing the amount
of wasted water.
