we just ordered ours after going back and forth quite a bit between this and quotes from local irrigation companies. the local guys were an average quote of $4500 for 4 zones and the irrigreen for 4 zones cost just under $3000. so for us it was definitely the better choice. cant wait for it to come in!
This is innovation. Definitely the way to go when I install an irrigation system, soon, hopefully. Two questions. Does this sprinklers eliminate the need to head to head coverage? Can they be installed above ground until one is ready to lay down pipe. It's important to lay down pipe at the right time in the right place. DO NOT LAY DOWN PIPE INDISCRIMINATELY.
Think you need to start with measuring psi or gallons per minute output; residential water diameter can vary a lot But planning where you put everything is the fun part If you dig below 4 feet then it’s under the frost line but shallow systems like this need to be blown out often to prevent freezing Many people need to get advisor to figure out the math on how water behaves when being split in zones; you can easily run into where the run for pipes can be too long and it would either need a pump or you split the zone up way too much and just need to make more zones
Didn’t use this system, but when I installed my irrigation I used a sod cutter and then a trencher. After install, backfilled, covered with the cut sod and it looked liked I was never there.
I would have bet you're going to install that particular sprinkler system. I already have a sprinkler system installed on three stations. Can you give me an idea of how much more that particular set would cost if I were to scrap what I have? Yes, sometimes I've got more dollars than sense. I have seen that put in on other videos and it does look super. It looks like it would finally solve my problem with heads not reaching all of my lawn. Please note I have only a small lawn but is broken up into three different sections of about 250 ft² a piece.
*This system literally solves every concern I've had when it comes to an irrigation system. 2 questions* 1) is pipe grading not a factor with this type of system? 2) Any chance you are available for hire for the installation? I'm in NW Indy
My buisiness name as an installer was going to be the grass whisperer. Some people told me it was stupid, so i your name. As an installer, how much do you make on a system install like the one you did in this video? Obviously its not as labor intensive as a full install.
Hey! I got my irrigreen system but want to have someone do the install for me. Who do you recommend here in the Bloomington area? Glad you are back. Thanks.
@@natem2367 Gave up on this company customer service is horrible on the front end it will only get worse after buying the system. Nobody ever calls you back
@@johnranno3300 Don't they never follow up or answer before you spend your money so I'm sure you won't be able to find them after spending your money. Ended up just installing a traditional system. Good concept terrible company and customer service. Should just sell the patent to a bigger company
U.S. plumbing code requires either a PVB (used in this video) or RPz device for irrigation! A simple check valve is not a testable device by a certified backflow inspector.
@@TheLawnWhisperer in my opinion it's faulty. Too many variables to a system to allow for thus invention it may have some good sales in some regions, but it definitely cannot compete with a specific basic design. Cool idea but will have more negative sides than positive ones, leading to failure.
It puts the exact amount down that you need based on a certain flow rate. It actually takes slightly longer to get the amount down with this system than a traditional system so in turn I’m not sure how it would flood the grass
There’s an adapter in the works to help with that. But I’m going to run these on my new yard when I sees anyway. I’ll show that on video when the time comes
@@TheLawnWhisperer how do you think it will take with someone that has no experience. I need something in my yard and have done a lot of projects but this looks like it will take long
@@moony1769 you could still do it in a weekend. Once you have the layout (the website helps) it’s just trenching, then gluing the pipe and connecting each head. The wire is super easy to run as well
@@TheLawnWhisperer thank you. You’re giving me confidence reconsider. Gonna have to stock up on beer to persuade some friends 😂. Appreciate the reply and advice
To each their own. You could easily install 8 zones in a day or two on your own. But I also understand this system isn’t for everyone. Doesn’t mean it’s overpriced though. It’s like comparing a Prius to a Tesla
This system for sure DOMINATES!
Seriously, that is the coolest sprinkler I have ever seen.
That system looks amazing! Definetly one of the better systems I've seen on UA-cam without a doubt
That's pretty efficient! That was pretty impressive how it sprayed to the neighbor's line but didn't spray 1 drop over it!
This is awesome. I have seen beta types for years but didn’t know they were actually on the market. Definitely want this at my next house
The part where you keep your tip out of the dirt was eye opening to say the least!
I normally like to get the tip dirty but not in this instance
@@TheLawnWhisperer bahahahaaaaa!! 🤣
I just placed my irrigreen system order!! I am so pumped! Thank you for these videos!!
Nice video. Thats cool man. Thanks for sharing
I have an existing irrigation system that needs some maintenance, maybe I’ll see about changing over to this system. Great video!
Homies smile at the end for your pipe joke is priceless.

How did the install and sprinklers perform?
How cool is that!!

With this system you run one head at a time. Each head is a zone
OMG this is awesome!, definitly want to grab one of these.
Excellent system! Love the IU shirt... 😃
New subscriber here! Love your videos - they’re to the point and so helpful! And your sense of humor and the music is on-point!
First Aussie 😁 Awesome technology. 😎
Such a cool system. 👍🏼
That technology is awesome. More efficient water usage for sure! How does it do when it gets windy?
Great looking system.
Didn’t use this system, but when I installed my irrigation I used a sod cutter and then a trencher. After install, backfilled, covered with the cut sod and it looked liked I was never there.
You rented the cheapest trencher I've ever seen. The one I've rented before is self propelled. I like your choice of schedule 40 pvc.
This one pretty much drives itself too
Some great tips here guys!
I need this ‼️

Did you have to use a pressure reducing valve?
Nice Device 😁
Aw yeahhhhhh
Very cool system!!!!
Wow. So would it better to level my lawn first before doing this? Or does it not matter? this is MAJOR
Are you able to purchase the sprinkler head on its own?
It wouldn’t work without the controller
that is pretty bad ass....Just literally realized, i am watching you tube vids on sprinkler systems.. I have officially turned into my dad.. lmao.. 🤣🤣
It happens fast my friend 😂
Pex would have been the perfect piping for this install. I bet you could have completed it in 1/3 of the time. Awesome video BTW!
Even better! So 2 hours or so? I’m all in!
@@TheLawnWhisperer look into 1" pex for your new house. It expands 8x its size and can't bust if it freezes.
@@badgett83 Pex has too much pressure loss for irrigation.
@@nsbconstruction9698 as long as the ID of the pipe is the same, then pressure drop concern is null and void. 1" pex is 3/4" ID.
Look at a pressure loss chart and get back with me. No licensed irrigator would use pex.
So yeah, I see this video just as I'm finishing up my regular 4 zone system with about 40 heads and a half a mile of pipe. Why do you hate me?
🤣😂

Nice job… great inspiration
Hi Mate . Just wondering where the Digital controller is mounted and how it works . Any Videos on that setup . Cheers from Australia
Wow
Awesome job！
I just visited the website and mapped out my yard. My quote was $3,598 before taxes. That was 6 sprinkler heads😳
What the Ffffffff
And that covered how much area?
Rip off
@@TheLawnWhisperer 4,300 sqft 6 sprinkler heads
Where is the power from the outlet? Where is that cord? Do you just bury it? I didn't see what you did with that in this vid.
That’s amazing
Good morning
Does this system have a rain sensor?
This looks great how long has this technology been around? Does it hold up over time?
That is a good question
@@natem2367 Gave up on this company customer service is horrible on the front end it will only get worse after buying the system. Nobody ever calls you back
@@Analyzer52 same experience. Good idea if hunter or rainbird buys the patent and runs with it
We’re do I get the heads?

Any particular reason you didn’t use this in your new home? Looks like you used a traditional system in a more recent video.
I have not installed irrigation in my new house I’m building. I will be installing these though when the time comes
@@TheLawnWhispererbooooo use a traditional system, they’re better, booooo
@@BRISTOLFORCE2009 if you saw these run in person you wouldn’t think so!
@@TheLawnWhisperer false
@@BRISTOLFORCE2009 ha ok. Have a good day 👍
How can we get this in Germany? It would be perfect for my lawn :-( .
You read my kind.
I know you installed this a while back, but how has irrigreen held up. I've heard not so good things about the company itself.
I’ve had a hard time finding people online that have follow up reviews of them.
Way overpriced and limited people even know about them or how to fix them.
The material that you use is rainbird?
Just standard 1” pvc from menards
For back-flow prevention, just install a PVC check valve in the main line after the time controller. That guarantees flow in one direction.
U.S. plumbing code requires either a PVB (used in this video) or RPz device for irrigation! A simple check valve is not a testable device by a certified backflow inspector.
per irrigreen site 3,5k for 5 heads and control unit...seems cool, but waaaaay too expensive
This will be off the market in 3 years time
I think the opposite, but what do I know
@@TheLawnWhisperer just my opinion man. Goodluck out there
@@SoGreen308 I don’t own the company 😂 I just like it
@@TheLawnWhisperer in my opinion it's faulty. Too many variables to a system to allow for thus invention it may have some good sales in some regions, but it definitely cannot compete with a specific basic design. Cool idea but will have more negative sides than positive ones, leading to failure.
Looks cool. But I feel like this sprinkler system floods/drenches the grass instead of a deep water...
It puts the exact amount down that you need based on a certain flow rate. It actually takes slightly longer to get the amount down with this system than a traditional system so in turn I’m not sure how it would flood the grass
Loooks like a very course spray maybe not good for seeding projects.
There’s an adapter in the works to help with that. But I’m going to run these on my new yard when I sees anyway. I’ll show that on video when the time comes
Can you message me for specific help with a yard?
Did you have to dig around any utilities?
No everything that was where we put the pipe was deeper fortunately!
Brooo! Irrigreen quoted me $1400 for a single head. This can’t be right??
😂 for one acre their estimate is over 8k.. someone is smoking crack😂😂
Why can’t I just buy this and do it myself.
You can 100% that's what I did here and that's what I'm currently doing at my new house
repeats on UA-cam.... that's a first
😂😂 thanks for watching!
it's too bad my water pressure blows
lol
2000 dollar for one head ? 😅
That would be for one head and the controller. Additional heads are not 2000 each.
【from Hipa】Are you willing to work with us?We provides parts for small engines.
First 😁
Pretty expensive system…
Yup that’s why I mentioned it
@@TheLawnWhisperer i got an estimate and it was about $8k in materials only for my lawn.
@@engrxtn how big is your lawn?
@@TheLawnWhisperer 18k sq ft lol
I need phone numbers
This system is great. However saying this is “Easy DIY” is a stretch. Doesn’t look like a DIY project. And especially not an easy one
It took me and my buddy about 3-4 hours one day to install it in a 5k square foot lawn. To me it’s easy DIY
@@TheLawnWhisperer how do you think it will take with someone that has no experience. I need something in my yard and have done a lot of projects but this looks like it will take long
