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.

We all saw or heard about the large cargo ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal and the massive back up of container ships anchored outside the ports Los Angeles and Long Beach. While these are very visible examples of supply chain delays in getting products to fulfill orders, there are so many additional challenges within the global transportation network creating real headaches for the landscape and irrigation industry. In this webinar we will discuss these ongoing challenges. We will also look at some of today’s product innovations providing professionals more installation and maintenance options to help prepare and overcome any challenges.

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.

Using the Fundamentals to Make Good Field Decisions

$70.00

Format: Recorded Session - available 24/7

IA - 2 CEUs
NJ - 2 CECs WC
NCICLB Course #12074 - 2 CEUs
ORLCB - 2 CEHs

FNGLA - 2 CEUs

Instructor: Ted Moriarty A successful installation or renovation project depends on determining the best and most feasible course of action to take. This requires making decisions in the field regarding three key elements – sprinkler pressure, spacing, and flow based on the manufacturer’s specifications. This leads to good distribution uniformity and therefore conserving water while keeping the plants healthy. This class will address the fundamental hydraulic principles supporting these three important elements, with an emphasis on spacing and nozzling. Part 1 of the class will focus on choosing the proper nozzles and spacing given existing site conditions that may require “out of the box” solutions. Part 2 will address difficult areas which need to be irrigated with the goal mitigating water waste, such as overspray. New techniques using different approaches for mixing and matching different irrigation equipment will be covered.
