FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long will the installation take?Installation times vary based on system size. On average, a system can be installed in a single day, with an additional two to three business days needed for the city inspection and to finalize coverage.
-
What is a backflow prevention device?A backflow prevention device is a valve that stops water from flowing backward into the city's main water supply, which helps prevent contamination. State law mandates that all irrigation systems must include a backflow prevention device, which will be part of your system. The specific type of device will be determined by your local city regulations. Additionally, you are required to have the device tested each year by a licensed backflow tester.
