What Separates a Cheap Sprinkler System from a Reliable One in Central Florida?
When it comes to irrigation systems in Central Florida, not all installations are created equal. At Quality Services Irrigation, located in Lake Mary Florida, we’ve seen firsthand how cutting corners during installation can cost homeowners thousands in repairs and wasted water over time. Here’s What separates a cheap sprinkler system from a reliable one in Central Florida:
- Valve Quality – The Heart of the System
Cheap systems often use low-grade valves that are prone to sticking or failing, especially when exposed to “gray water” sources like well water, lake water, or other non-potable sources.
We use scrubber self-cleaning valves from trusted brands like Hunter and Rain Bird, specifically engineered to handle Florida’s common water quality issues common to Lake Mary, Heathrow, Winter Park and the greater Orlando Florida area. These valves resist clogging and reduce the likelihood of stuck zones—saving you from surprise water bills or landscape damage.
- Proper Zoning and Head Selection
A reliable sprinkler system isn’t just about water coverage—it’s about zoning intelligently:
- Rotor zones for large turf areas
- Spray zones for smaller lawn sections
- Drip zones for beds
- Separate drip emitter zones for pots
Zoning intelligently allows one to water each type of plant material with the right volume and frequency. At Quality Services we also use Hunter I-20 6-inch rotors and 6-inch spray heads for lawn areas, paired with 12-inch spray heads or dripline in landscape beds to rise above mulch and avoid blockages.
- Smart Controller with Flow Monitoring
Our Central Florida sprinkler system installation experts install Hydrawise internet-enabled controllers that can be managed from anywhere in the world. Paired with a rain sensor and optional flow sensor. A smart controller with flow monitoring can:
- Shut off automatically during rain
- Send alerts for stuck valves or cut wires
- Detect excessive water usage from breaks or leaks
That’s not just smart irrigation—it’s peace of mind.
- Built to Code – Installed by Licensed Professionals
Every head is installed on flex pipe, which reduces the likelihood of damage, and is placed at least one foot away from the house, as required by code. We also install proper backflow prevention devices, ensuring safety and compliance with Florida regulations.
As licensed irrigation contractors, our sprinkler system installation experts in Central Florida pull permits and schedule inspections as required. This ensures that your system won’t just work great—it will be up to code, and protected.
