What is a "sprinkler system"?
A sprinkler system is a set of connected sprinklers used to water a lawn or garden automatically. The system typically includes pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads that are installed in the ground or on the surface. These sprinklers are designed to release water in a controlled pattern, covering a specific area. Sprinkler systems can be set to run on a schedule, making it easier to water large areas without needing to do it manually. They are commonly used in residential yards, parks, and commercial spaces to ensure plants and grass receive consistent moisture.
Examples
