Autoflow Irrigation has installed many sprinkler systems in schools throughout the Sydney metropolitan area for both private and public schools.

A sprinkler system will ensure your fields have thick grass coverage providing a soft landing for falls, diving players, and tackles.

Fertilisers, pesticides, and wetting agents can be thoroughly watered in to ensure effectiveness.

During Autumn the over sowing of a cool season turf such as Ryegrass in Couch turf is much more effective as you are able to keep the seed moist during germination.

An automatic sprinkler system at your school will keep your turf at optimum health, without the need for maintenance staff to spend hours each week dragging hoses and sprinklers around just to keep it alive.

Watering can be done during the night instead of the day allowing much greater absorption due to less evaporation.

Watering system installations are often carried out during school holidays to minimise disturbance for school activities. 

What is required to install an irrigation system?

Trenching is necessary to install the components of an irrigation system.

Depending on the time of year and type of turf, trenches usually grow back over in around 6 weeks during the main growing season for the most common Kikuyu and Couch variety’s.

As mains water flow and pressure is usually insufficient to irrigate a sports field in a short time frame, tanks are usually installed with the water being pumped back out at a desirable flow to reduce the time needed to give a sufficient drink.

Depending on the location of nearby buildings, tanks may be able to collect water off a roof to collect rainwater.

Smart controllers that adjust run times based on temperatures and skip watering when rain is forecast are always installed in schools, significantly saving both water and electricity whilst also increasing the lifespan of pumps due to shorter run times.

It also prevents the fields becoming saturated after rainfall. Smart controllers also allow easy maintenance as phones can be used as a remote control, and will also send alerts in the event of an electrical fault.

We have also installed irrigation systems in school playground areas as well as agriculture /vegetable plots.
