Frequently asked questions about SarGreen

How concentrated is the solution coming out of the sprinkler heads?

The solution will come out at about 1 part fertilizer to about 5000 parts water in a 20 gallon per minute system, about 1 shot glass in a 55gallon drum.

Why do you call it a smart system?

The SarGreen system is programmable. The amount of fertilizer applied can be set by the homeowner. That amount can be different for each zone. Most other systems cannot be set to apply different amounts to each zone.

What if I want to water an extra cycle without putting on fertilizer?

There is a system suspend button. When you push the button, the green light on the face will turn off and the red light will illuminate. This tells you the system will not apply fertilizer. The system will automatically go back to normal mode after 12 hours, or you can push the mode button again if you want to run the system and let the kids run through the sprinklers without the fertilizer.

What about the safety of the system? Can it run when there is no water flow?

No, there is a flow switch built into the system to prevent addition of fertilizer if there is no water flow.

Will the fertilizer damage my irrigation system?

No, the fertilizer has been diluted so much that it will not harm the system. We also program a flush time in each zone so that there is a few minutes of clean water running through the system before the zone shuts down. This will insure that the sprinkler heads will not gum up.

Can I apply a broadleaf weed killer through my SarGreen system?

While it is possible, we are not recommending it at this time simply because there is no control of factors such as wind drift.
