uses the most
up-to-date
controllers to
fit your
irrigation
system needs.
Some features of
the controllers
we use:
| •
|
Easily
customized
unit to
desired number
of stations
|
| • |
Large
LCD display
for simplified
programming. Easy
to read for
schedule
review and
entry
|
| • |
Three
programs (A
,B, C) with
multiple start
times
Independent
programming
handles many
different
watering
requirements
|
| • |
Choice
of independent
day scheduling
options
Days of the
week, odd/even
or 31-day
interval for
maximum
flexibility

Sprinkler
Systems
The
installation of
an efficient
sprinkler system
begins with good
design. The
system must
apply water
uniformly over
the desired area
with head to
head coverage.
Choosing the
appropriate
sprinkler for a
given area is
important, but
the location and
spacing of
sprinklers is
equally
important.
Placing
part-circle
sprinklers along
the boundaries
of the irrigated
area allows
uniform watering
along the edges
while avoiding
wasteful over
spray onto
buildings, paved
areas, and other
adjacent areas.
Proper
spacing of
sprinklers is
critical in
achieving
uniform water
application.
Sprinklers
spaced too far
apart will waste
water by
applying too
much water in
some areas and
not enough in
others. On the
other hand,
spacing
sprinklers
closer than
required
increases the
cost of the
system and
wastes water.
One
other important
aspect of proper
design is pipe
sizing.
Selection of
pipe sizes
should be based
on the flow rate
through the
pipe. If pipes
are too small,
excessive
pressure losses
occur. This
causes some
sprinklers to
apply more water
than others and
results in non
uniform
application and
wasted water.
Rain
Sensors
GreenCare
uses the
wireless rain
sensor to
eliminate the
appearance of
wires connecting
your controller.
Some features
and benefits of
the sensor are:
| •
|
Hassle-free,
wire-free with
easy
installation
|
| • |
Simple
to add on to a
new or
existing
installation
|
| • |
Set
a maximum
dry-out period
|
| • |
Multiple
mounting
options
|
| • |
Variety
of choices
depending on
the job site -
gutter or wall
mounts
|
| • |
Built-in
bypass switch
on receiver
panel
