For a quick and dirty estimate of where you might expect bids from professional sprinkler contractors to come in, use a range of $0.50 to $1.25 per square foot of area to be watered. Small properties and properties with complicated layouts will tend to be at the higher end of that range. Where you live and what type of equipment you select will also impact the range of bids.

If you are installing the system yourself, you should be able to buy equivalent materials at a home improvement store for about 15-20% more than a contractor will pay at a contractor supply store; however, you will need to factor in rental of trenchers and whether you can install the backflow prevention device, so you should figure your total cost of installing an equivalent system yourself will be 40-50% of a professional sprinkler contractor bid.

For more specific information you can search for "Sprinkler System Designer" on the internet and find applications that will let you put in the parameters of your yard and will output a parts list with prices.

What is the difference between deluge and other fire sprinkler systems?

In a deluge system the water comes out of all sprinkler heads at once, compared with most fire sprinkler systems in which each sprinkler head has its own heat-sensitive trigger. There are major design differences in how much water you need for a deluge system and what safety interlocks are built into the system to prevent accidental water damage.


How does a sprinkler valve work to control the flow of water in a sprinkler system?

A sprinkler valve works by opening and closing to control the flow of water in a sprinkler system. When the valve is open, water is allowed to flow through the system and reach the sprinkler heads, which then spray water onto the desired area. When the valve is closed, water flow is stopped, preventing water from reaching the sprinkler heads. This allows for precise control over when and where water is distributed in the sprinkler system.
