What does Glen Forrest’s soil and water mean for your retic?

Soil — Darling Scarp gravels. Lateritic gravel and loam over clay or rock, usually on slope — runoff comes quickly, so cycle-and-soak programs and pressure-regulated heads suit hills blocks.

Groundwater & bores. Hard lateritic rock under the hills makes domestic garden bores rarely economic here, so the wins are on the efficiency side: smart controllers, rain sensors, drip zones and a properly programmed winter switch-off.

Rainfall — about 1,093mm a year. Averages about 1093mm a year at the Bickley gauge with roughly 77% falling May-September — so the controller should step down through autumn and observe the 1 June - 31 August sprinkler switch-off.

From our Glen Forrest job book

A Glen Forrest controller wired to the tank and pump

A Glen Forrest property runs its reticulation from a tank and pump rather than mains pressure, and the controller had failed. Replacing it was not a simple swap.

The new eight-station controller had to be hardwired and connected to two things beyond the valves: the pump start circuit, so the pump runs when a station calls for water, and the tank float switch, so the system knows when there is water to draw. That second connection is the protective one — running a pump dry because the tank is empty is how pumps are destroyed.

Our electrician installed the unit with both connections made, programmed it and tested the system. On tank-fed systems the controller does considerably more than timing, and replacing one means reproducing all of it.

Reticulation Glen Forrest FAQs

Not without approval first. Glen Forrest is in the Shire of Mundaring. The sprinkler roster is a Water Corporation matter, so it doesn't change at the council boundary.

Verge rules by council

Groundwater access around Glen Forrest is limited, so bores are less common here and often not the right answer. A properly zoned system with matched sprinklers and a modern controller gets excellent results on scheme water instead.

Garden bores in Perth

Glen Forrest sits on Darling Scarp gravels. On a slope that soil sheds water sideways before it soaks, and there are clay pockets underneath. The most common thing we get booked for in Glen Forrest is controller work, so that's where the technician starts. We set run times to deliver about 10mm on each of your two rostered days, and split the run into two cycles inside the same watering window where the soil needs it.

Perth soil types & watering

Glen Forrest is about 30 km from our Jandakot depot and sits on a run our vehicles work weekly, so most repairs here are booked within days, not weeks. Repairs aren't quoted — you book a repair and the technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit, with the parts already on the van.
