Retic Renovation

💧 Why your retic system sucks (and how to fix it): Irrigation is a trade — just like electrical or plumbing — and you do get what you pay for. One of the most common mistakes? ❌ No proper flow and pressure test. You have to build the system based on available pressure and flow, including correct pipe sizing, sprinkler layout, and solenoid selection. Way too many people just wing it or go with the cheapest quote. On this job, I carefully worked it all out. We ran off a 💦 submersible bore, which gave us higher flow and pressure — so I could add more sprinklers without compromising performance. • Started with 40mm main supply to the solenoids • Ran 40mm into the lawn, then reduced to 25mm, and finally 20mm to each sprinkler • Used 40mm solenoids to release higher flow • For drip zones: 40mm tee, then 25mm poly either side — total capacity = 💪 50mm of flow • Even water distribution across the whole lawn and garden 🌱 Yes, this way costs more in materials and labour. But the result? A system that actually works — with even spray, strong pressure, and proper coverage. ✅ If you want it done right, it’s an investment in your landscape — not just a quick job. If you’ve got an existing system with poor pressure, I can come out, run a proper pressure test, and put together a plan to get your sprinklers working efficiently again. 💦 That might mean: – Adding extra solenoids – Installing a pressure pump from a water tank – Switching to better sprinkler heads – Or making a few other adjustments There’s usually a solution — it just needs to be properly assessed and planned. #reticinstallation #irrigationinstallation #perthgardens #nativegardensperth
