Instructor: Keith Schweiger Knowing how much rainfall was received over an irrigated lawn can be a critical component to increasing the efficiency and conservation of irrigation water. Determining what rainfall data is reliable and relevant for a specific site has always hampered its effective use in managing the irrigation system. Whether the rainfall data comes from the internet, weather stations, or tipping rain bucket devices, the water manager must know it is accurate to apply it to an entire site. This course discusses real examples and shares some practical experience of using rainfall data to help the stakeholders of a property choose the solution that best fits the site’s management requirements.

Using Multimeters to Evaluate Irrigation Electrical Circuits (3 hours)

$105.00

Format: Recorded Session - available 24/7

IA - 3 CEUs
NJ - 3 CECs
NCICLB Course #11786 - 3 CEUs
ORLCB - 3 CEHs
QWEL - 3 CEUs
FNGLA - 3 CEUs

A common barrier to efficiently identifying a problem with electrical components used in an irrigation system is that a technician guesses or uses trial and error methods. The understanding and use of a multimeter are at the heart of productively determining an electrical problem with a controller or valve circuit. It saves countless hours and correctly identifies the problem. The 3-hour online training course interactively guides the attendees though the proper use of multimeters in order to correctly and efficiently identify the problem in a controller, valve wiring, solenoids, and splices. Attendees will pause the training to use a meter in our eLab practice sessions during the online instruction to practice real-world applications of the skills and knowledge on the valves and a controller in front of them. This repetition prepares them to immediately use the new skills and knowledge in their job.

Evaluating Irrigation Systems

$35.00

Format: Recorded Session - available 24/7

IA - 1 CEU
NJ - 1 WC CEC
QWEL - 1 CEU
FNGLA - 1 CEU

Most sprinkler performance problems are based in hydraulic causes. When hydraulics is ignored, hours are wasted chasing solutions that do not fix the problem, leading to lower profits and unhappy customers. This course uses a simple worksheet to guide the irrigation professional to gather the information about the system with a pump or water meter as the water source. This streamlined method is designed to take minutes and not hours to evaluate the hydraulics to determine where the flow or pressure problems may be.

Irrigation System Design Approaches to Minimize Surge Pressure

$35.00

Format: Recorded Session - available 24/7

IA - 1 CEU
NJ - 1 CEC WC
NCICLB Course #11940 - 1 CEU
ORLCB- 1 CEH
FNGLA-1 CEU
QWEL - 1 CEU

Instructor: Kurt Thompson This advanced 1-hour interactive online discussion takes the irrigation designer through the cause and effect of the velocity of the water in the pipe and valve sizing in terms of the cyclical forces that affect the operational costs and sprinkler performance. In this course we will:

Use the calculated worst-case surge pressure in a mainline to determine the specific velocity in a mainline to control mainline surges.
Select the pipe size, valve size, and other components to minimize pressure surges in mainline pipes.

Who should attend? Any experienced irrigation designer who deals with irrigation systems that:

The design requires long lengths of 2-inch mainline or larger.
Wants to design in hydraulic conditions to minimize the cyclical forces that cause high maintenance costs.
Need to be designed to maximize the life of the piping system.
