St. Clair Shores Sprinkler System Revamp: Restoring a 3-Zone System After Years of Not Running.

Troy, MI Irrigation System Rebuild: Correcting Low Pressure, Rebuilding a 9-Valve Manifold & Upgrading to a 16-Zone Rachio

A Troy homeowner had an irrigation system with two spray zones improperly tied together, weak pressure, a cramped 8-valve PVC manifold, and unnecessary piping loops. Hunter HydroTech separated the zones, cleaned up the piping, installed a serviceable 9-valve manifold, and upgraded the property from an 8-zone to a 16-zone Rachio controller.

Grosse Pointe Backflow Notice Leads to a Complete 6-Zone Sprinkler System Replacement

A Grosse Pointe homeowner contacted Hunter HydroTech after receiving a city notice requiring backflow protection for an aging irrigation system. What we found was much more than a missing backflow: old 1/2-inch copper piping throughout the yard, manual gate valves operated with a meter key, no sprinkler controller, and extremely low pressure. See how we replaced the outdated system with a modern 6-zone irrigation system, Hunter X2 controller, new underground piping, and strategic bore shots.
