Get your technicians and your management/office team some hands-on training (and credit hours!) from seasoned irrigation industry veterans using the industry’s best practices.  This day-long course is focused on analyzing the performance of an existing Five Row Football Field with Track, performing renovations of the layout, valves and control equipment and then measuring the improvement with a catch can test.  This will give you and your team the confidence to be able to explain the reasons why irrigation systems need updating and how this benefits your clients.
