Irrigation<br />

vital in hot<br />

dry weather<br />

Now the hot days of summer are on their way,<br />

Canterbury home owners will be wanting to make<br />

full use of their outdoor areas to entertain family<br />

and friends, so having lawns and gardens in tip-top<br />

condition will be a priority.<br />

Freeman Irrigation, a locally owned and operate<br />

company, can provide a range of cost effective and easy<br />

to use automated options.<br />

The company installs their pipes with a Mole Plough<br />

which provides a no mess solution to the installation.<br />

“With this ‘invisible’ trencher you wouldn’t know<br />

we have been on your property within just a couple of<br />

weeks,” says Phil.<br />

Many irrigation options utilise the latest technology<br />

where sprinklers can be connected to weather station<br />

forecasts using WiFi so if rain is expected the amount<br />

of water is reduced.<br />

By operating your system remotely, the flow can<br />

be adjusted to suit the conditions, saving water and<br />

money.<br />

“We have a range of smartphone controllers and rain<br />

sensors that can be fitted to most systems, allowing<br />

to have easy control from anywhere. If you want to<br />

save money and conserve water a good rain sensor<br />

is an affordable solution,” says Phil from Freeman<br />

Irrigation.<br />

It is worthwhile to also check any problems you<br />

may have with your existing irrigation. Some of the<br />

basic problems include clogged sprinklers; leaking<br />

sprinklers and valves; obstructed sprinklers;<br />

leaking/blocked solenoid valves; overspray onto<br />

footpaths, streets or buildings; design problems;<br />

missing nozzles or pipe leaks and breaks.<br />

Freeman Irrigation provides an extensive range<br />

of irrigation services, not just for residential<br />

homes but also parks, golf courses, horticultural<br />

and viticultural properties, sub-divisions and<br />

commercial properties.<br />
