Improving the efficiency of outdoor irrigation systems is crucial for effective water conservation efforts.

Many existing lawn sprinkler systems operate at pressures higher than recommended by manufacturers. These elevated pressures lead to inefficiencies such as excessive flow rates, misting, uneven coverage, and water wastage beyond landscaped areas.

Lowering water pressures is key to enhancing irrigation system performance. Installing a single Pigler Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) at the point of connection (POC) to the irrigation system is the most effective method. This PRV regulates high inlet pressures to a constant optimal level throughout the system, ensuring spray heads and drip emitters operate efficiently within their recommended pressure ranges.

By reducing water pressure, irrigation systems immediately achieve increased efficiency. This approach not only conserves water but also minimizes maintenance and operational costs over time. Landscape irrigation designers and contractors commonly adopt this technique to achieve sustainable water management.

Pigler advocates for efficient landscape watering through the use of Pigler Pressure Reducing Valves, ensuring optimal performance and conservation benefits for irrigation systems.
