5 Sponsored by 5 Runoff? – High application rate? – Excessive run times? – Overspray? – Leaking sprinkler seals? – Non-plumb heads? – Wind? – Controller problem? – Valve stuck on?

6 Sponsored by Ponding – Excessive run times? – Low head drainage? – High application rate? – Controller problem? – Valve stuck on?

7 Sponsored by Elevation Change – Between valve & heads – Water flows down hill HOA – 19,000 heads – 250,000’+ pipe 1” PVC Assumption –4 cycles per day –4,363.6 units/month

8 Sponsored by Slope & High Application Rates

9 Sponsored by The irrigation system shall be designed to prevent runoff, low head drainage, overspray, or other similar conditions where irrigation water flows onto non- targeted areas, such as adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, hardscapes, roadways or structures.

10 Sponsored by Compounded Waste From Windrift

11 Sponsored by PSI Is Important – Static vs. Dynamic – High PSI Waste – Low PSI Waste Manufacturer Specs – Sprays – Rotors – Bubblers – Drip

12 Sponsored by The irrigation system shall be designed to ensure that the dynamic pressure at each emission device is within the manufacturer’s recommended pressure range for optimal performance.

13 Sponsored by 90° ARCRate Precipitation 0.99”/hr 180° 0.49”/hr 360° 0.25”/hr Performance Factors 2.0 gpm nozzle 30’ radius 1”

14 Sponsored by Before Radius Adjustment Precip = 0.49”/hr After 5’ Radius Reduction Precip = 0.71”/hr % Change: 44.9%
