Instructor: Scott Knowles Comprehensive cashflow management is difficult for small fast-moving companies. Unless absolutely necessary it’s not worth the cost and time for most Green Industry businesses. However, all business owners/operators must have an eye on their cash position so the company can function smoothly. Using the Current Ratio is easily utilized to gauge your cash position, is fairly easy to calculate, will tell you where your cash situation is now, and give you benchmarks to strive for in the future. This course will help a business owner define the Current Ratio and what the numbers tell you. The course will also explore tactics to improve your ratio and avoid cash-traps.

Instructor:  Kurt Thompson Developing company personnel is essential to the successful growth of any company because it has become very difficult to hire fully trained people. Most of the time training your people by lecturing or just showing how to complete a task is not effective. That is because working adults do not learn as they did when they were a full-time student. This 2-hour presentation introduces an owner, manager, or supervisor to the basic concepts of how adult learners perceive and process information. It also covers some proven, practical techniques, and methods to get the information in a form and size to effectively transfer knowledge to the learner AND get it put to use in the learner’s job. Also great for salespeople to learn about presenting their ideas to their clients!

In the fast-moving world of technology, connected devices are growing at a rapid pace. The irrigation industry is moving slower than the current market demand and missing a huge opportunity at the same time. During this course you will learn what you need to know to conduct yourself like a professional and be tactically prepared to be successful in the world of Wi-Fi and connected devices. This includes learning to speak the language of “IoT” (internet of things) and how to conduct WLAN (wireless local area network) tests to ensure the devices you install will connect to your customer’s Wi-Fi.

Instructor: Brian Vinchesi Learning Objectives:

• Develop a better understanding of “why” professional designed systems are different than design/build irrigation systems.
• Identify key areas that will impact the amount of time and materials required to successfully build these projects.

Who should attend?  Irrigation contractors, business owners, site managers or any irrigation installation staff that work on or bid professionally designed and managed irrigation system installations.

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.

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.

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.
