A complete irrigation system is comprised of several different components, each serving a particular function and all working together in combination with the other.

Hunter provides an overview of each of these components—controllers, sprinklers, valves and sensors—to assist homeowners and others in understanding basic irrigation terms, equipment applications, features and benefits.

The information provided here will help to answer important questions that arise when evaluating sprinkler system proposals:
