Be sure your contractor has installed stone around the distribution
lines for two very good reasons:
First, so that the plastic distribution line is not crushed by the weight of
the backfill
Second, the stone acts as a weep to drain the spray riser after the pumps
shut off. If draining does not occur, the riser and nozzle is susceptible
to freezing in cold weather. (Common in this part of Pennsylvania and colder
climates).
Not installing is a common cost cutting measure that will weaken the
effectiveness of your spray irrigation system.
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!
Ask your contractor how he backfills your plastic pipe and spray riser.
