Can You Spend $1 and Save Thousands?

This class will discuss how using check valves can save water AND money while extending the life of the system. We will discuss how proper scheduling with “Cycle/Soak” improves efficiency but can lower it without check valves. We will also cover how air and empty pipes create dynamic surges and hammers that significantly increase wear and tear on the system.

Filtration for Landscape Irrigation
Kurt Thompson, IrriTech Training, Inc.
The water source for an irrigation system cannot be counted on to be “clean” enough to avoid causing problems with the proper functioning of the system’s components. Filtration is often overlooked because the principles of landscape irrigation filtration products can be hard to understand. This 1-hour workshop uses common residential and commercial scenarios to understand, select, install, and service filters that effectively prevent and/or solve problems.
