This is the best video for sprinkler installation on youtube! I am an irrigation contractor and I am impressed that finally there is something worth watching if you want to do this yourself!
Did he even install a vacuum breaker of any kind? His valves are all in-lines.
Then you're a terrible "irrigation contractor" if you think this is great. I bet you have to revisit previous installs quite a bit to fix all the problems. I wouldn't lay claim to this for ANY amount of money. Shameful is what it is.
Where are u guys located. I need mine done.
I have to install 730 acres of irrigation for a orchard. Can I get bigger faster equipment?
"A medium head rotates finger things"? Hope I misheard that. You mean, MP, as in matched precipitation LOL. Btw, classifying those heads as large medium and small is the silliest thing I've ever heard. There's a whole world of differences between SPRAY heads and ROTARY heads, including nozzles, which it looks like they bought prenozzled....?
If they space the heads based on the nozzle then there's nothing to worry about, it's not golf course irrigation where nozzle selection is that critical
@@brandonchappell8545 everything should be spaced based on nozzle size
that's called dumbing it down for the masses
I am a sprinkler cotractor that pex line is a cheep way to go for 2 reason you can use a trencher puller to pull the line it doesn't last long and very thin use pvc
Thats not pex that black poly pipe, pex is thicker and doesn't leak like crazy, pex is legal to use for water service to a house. PEX costs more than regular thin wall PVC and poly he used is even cheaper (PEX Is 36 cent a foot, PVC is 19 cent and that shit is less than 10.)
@@macsrule94 10 cents a foot? That's outrageous! I want 2c a foot! ;-)
@@macsrule94 I used poly pipe when I installed my irrigation system I in1989 I have 12 zones. I've never had a pipe burst or leak and I live in Northeast, Ohio where we have cold winters but not as bad as some other places I know. I always that extra care blowing out the individual lines for winterizing. infact I blow them out twice. Having a large volvome of air is the critical and watching and waiting till only air is exiting the head is second. I've had a lot of valves, coils, heads, and leaks on the flex extensions problems. The only pipe problems I had are dig-ins, my wife was doing me a favor and tried to plant a rose bush over top of a main run and the cable company rerouted there line when they installed a new fiber-oppotic line and cut the same run again. They weren't difficult to fix after everything dryed out.
Why’s everyone saying this is a bad install? I don’t get it, and why do people not like poly pipe? That’s basically what all residential irrigation systems use in our area
Ikr. This was a good install
Because all these harry homeowners expect golf course quality out of their Scotts contractor blend, they are the same ones who overseeds and apply weed and feed and say their patches and thin turf are just bad soil cause the seed germinates and dies😂
Nothing wrong with poly. Just don’t forget to pinch your rings
Wow these are professionals?
They make actual professionals look bad
maczrule No, they make THEMSELVES look bad. They make true professionals look great!
Exacly what i said
Dude it's residential irrigation, it's like cable guys, they hook things up drill holes in your siding and floors and leave.
You will never go wrong with sch 40 and regular pvc pipe
Under11000 what? If you use any pvc at all for a 1" residential feed you're an absolute moron
Yes, cuz digging trenches everywhere is less time consuming and pvc is so durable? 😂
Under11000 for lawns pvc is the way to go only an idiot does regular poly line on lawns wait till that shit starts cracking youll have a nightmare
@@kevinjuarez541 lmao keep that shit in the diy section. PVC is high maintenance, less durable, and requires a much more high impact installation process. Not to mention making every fitting and connection unnecessarily more difficult. I love working with pvc, but usually only neccessary for large mainlines, carrying hundreds of psi and feeding 50+ zones over a large run
@@kevinjuarez541 wow you're an idiot, definitely. Amateur!!
Doesn’t look like they ran the wire with the mainline.
I used to have nightmares about that when I was an installer.
I am stilling waiting for the how to.
Sticks the control box in the house :( so no lawn guy can get to it
slowrider30 right ameture move
Well it’s the customer’s request most of the time.
Shouldve been a lineman
Rain sensors are worthless. Not one in my neighborhood works properly. Must be a California thing. Nothing worth a crap comes out of California.
Lol OK then. Maybe try installing them right goofball
We used to install mini-clicks. They seemed to work pretty well
Bad system pvc is better
Lmao
Nothing wrong with poly as long as all your Mexicans pinch the fucking rings
These are pros? Lmao what a joke
These guys don't use ditch which plows WTF is wrong with you😂
And you use Hunter instead of rain bird fuck this sprinkler crew 😂
Well imo rainbird gear drives are a hell of a lot better, the rotation and curtain alone are reason enough to say fuck hunter gear drives. But if you're talking spray heads I hear that, and even better, rainbird spray nozzles on a hunter spray head are the absolute perfect combination
They used hunter pgg ultras and pro sprays
Burkeen is where it’s at if you want horsepower. Ditchwitch always needs maintenance.
lmao you guys suck at installing poly irrigation systems. you wouldn't make it at my company
Christopher Green Right?! I feel the same way.
Christopher Green: I'm trying to learn how to do it and would appreciate pro advice. Why do these guys suck at the install? What makes for a good install?
Christopher Green I have no experience at all in irrigation, and I'm 18 years old. How do I go about getting a job in irrigation without any real skills or experience.
086agent Where do you live?
Jordan 33 And where do YOU live?
If you think they used Pex you should not post on this video. Have you guys ever installed a professional residential sprinkler system? Come one guys, these guys on the vid know what they're doing.
