    Instructor: Dr. Michael Dukes Smart irrigation controllers have been commercially available for more than 20 years. Currently they are mandated in an increasing number of municipalities across the U.S. and are used around the world. These devices have evolved to many of the current devices that offer smartphone app capability. These devices have been proven to reduce excess irrigation when installed and programmed properly. This course will review smart irrigation controller basics and how they can reduce irrigation waste and increase irrigation efficiency. Best practices for the two types of smart controllers on the market will be discussed. Research results from the use of smart controllers and real-world implementation will be presented to help the attendee be prepared to optimally implement these devices.

    Instructor:  Mike Yaruzzi Effectively and efficiently diagnosing a centrifugal pump is good for the client as well as the contractor’s business. In many cases, the pump is just replaced without knowing the cause of the problem or failure. Unfortunately, the pump was not the right one for the system and the new pump just fails again. This class will offer advanced pump troubleshooting skills for the irrigation technician to efficiently and effectively identify, and repair common issues associated with centrifugal pump failure.

    The scientific principles of connecting PVC pipe and fittings using solvent cement to make a robust and long-lasting solvent welded joint is often over simplified. The results of ignoring the science can create significant problems for the property owner and the irrigation management company. The good news is that the science of making a proper solvent weld joint is very understandable. It is also easy for irrigation installers to apply the science to create good solvent welding habits. The course will shed light on the how and why solvent cement works, the scientific requirements to have it work the best, the effects of pipe and fitting dimensions and tolerances, the specific ways to use cements and primers correctly, and the results of a properly made PVC joint.
