Calgary Acreage sprinkler installation: Custom Irrigation for Rural Properties
J.G. Irrigation designs and installs custom irrigation systems for acreage properties throughout Rocky View County — Bearspaw, Springbank, Balzac, Langdon, De Winton, and all rural communities surrounding Calgary. Acreage irrigation design requires a different approach than standard residential — larger zone counts, longer lateral runs, multiple manifold locations, and often well or dugout water supply rather than municipal connection. IA-certified hydraulic design. 2-year warranty.
Acreage Irrigation Design: What Is Different
| Design Factor | Acreage vs Standard Residential |
|---|---|
| Zone count | 10-40+ zones vs 5-9 zones for urban homes |
| Main line sizing | 1.5-2 inch main vs 1 inch — prevents pressure loss over long runs |
| Manifold layout | Multiple manifolds placed within 150 ft of their zones (not a single central manifold) |
| Water supply | Well pump system integration — pressure tank, pump protection, GPM verification |
| Shelterbelt drip | Dedicated drip zones for tree rows — micro-emitters at each tree base |
| Controller capacity | Two Rachio 3 controllers or commercial Hunter ICC2 for 16+ zone systems |
