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.

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.

Instructor:  Mike Yaruzzi Determining the proper pump goes beyond just the pressure and flow the pump is capable of producing. It must also include many other elements involving the whole irrigation project. This class will take a deep dive into identifying proper point of connection capacity to analyzing various friction losses that occur within the hydraulic network of the irrigation system.

Adding more sprinklers or changing sprinkler nozzles can seem like a good solution to fixing dry spots or other coverage issues. But it can make the coverage worse, not better. This course will use real-world situations to show the hydraulic principles of flow and pressure that will give the technician the understanding to make the proper decisions when adding sprinklers or changing nozzles.
