 | cause runoff and water waste;
|
| require a large number of circuits to compensate for a limited water supply;
|
| are inflexible and difficult to change;
|
| are inherently uneven in the application of water;
|
| cause additional unevenness in water absorbtion due to runoff;
|
| require expertise to plumb correctly;
|
| are labor intensive to install;
|
| can cause erosion on slopes due to high flow rate;
|
| cause pressure problems for other water uses in the home;
|
| are incompatible with pump/pressure tank systems;
|
| cause soil to become overly saturated;
|
| are subject to clogging by insects;
|
| are subject to damage from foot traffic, mowers etc;
|
| are subject to damage from frozen ground;
|
| require a large number of parts;
|
| require separate circuits for each different watering zone;
|
| require a lot of pipes and digging;
|
| create a fine spray that is easily displaced or evaporated by the wind;
|
| usually require professional installation for best results;
|
| are not at all suited to watering complicated or irregular shapes;
|
| are poorly suited to watering plants taller than mowed grass;
|
| require daily visual inspection to notice problems;
|
| suffer from a large quantity of poor quality components being sold.
|
| are inappropriate for lawns and not suitable for all plants;
|
| are a maintainence nightmare because of so many pieces;
|
| deteriorate from sunlight if left above ground;
|
| give no indication of problems without close visual inspection;
|
| can be damaged by wild and domestic animals who have learned to chew it to get water;
|
| can suffer major damage if the filter bursts;
|
| can fail if the solitary pressure regulator fails;
|
| require separate circuits for different watering zones;
|
| also suffer from a large amount of poor quality components sold;
|
| can be easily damaged by foot traffic, mowers, deer, digging etc;
|
| are incompatible with weed eaters etc., forcing the use of chemical or other weed control methods;
|
| are expensive to install because of the large number of components;
|
| can waste water from undetected broken circuits.
|
| It applies water slowly and evenly.
|
| Each Watering Head can water up to 2800 square feet, so fewer pipes and trenches are needed.
|
| Each Watering Head can have up to 15 different watering zones of almost any size or shape.
|
| The Watering Heads are rugged and mounted safely above foot traffic and other hazards.
|
| Watering zones can easily be changed, added, or deleted.
|
| The System monitors itself and reports errors.
|
| It uses at most 1 GPM and compensates internally for varying water pressure.
|
| It's easy to install.
|
| It doesn't waste water on sidewalks or other hardscape areas.
|
| It's built to last.
