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.

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.

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: 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.
