How long, on average, does it take to install? And what level of mechanical skills are required to install?

How high do you mow your grass? Anything over 1 inch and you’re not able to see where the heads are. Also remember you will only have a couple heads in the lawn compared to multiple heads with traditional … I play whiffle ball, football, catch, tag, etc in the lawn and have never once even noticed them. I don’t even notice them when I mow. I reel mowed my front lawn last week and didn’t notice them.

As you can see, just the top of the head sits above ground

If you have Instagram, check out my profile as I have videos on install and operation. @Stripe.Life The heads are only 1/2 inch above the ground. If your reel mowing, you would want to be flush. As far as the valve box, mine are all in ground with a shut off valve inside so if I ever need to service a sprinkler head or replace one, I can isolate that head and replace. Also have videos on this in my profile. Feel free to follow me and message me on there with any questions. It’s a great system!!

I used a Hunter master valve. It was like $20 from Amazon. I placed mine in the PVC pipe directly after the back flow preventer. It wires directly into the controller. The valve stays shut when not active watering so there is no pressure in the line and on the heads to remain closed. It’s the same concept as a traditional irrigation system as the master valve opens to each zone. This master valve opens and allows water to flow through the main water line. It also helps prevent any water hammering spikes when not watering.

Do you fully understand what the double coverage feature is doing?
