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: Don Franklin Protecting irrigation electronics from the ravages of electrical surges and lightning is essential for the modern, sophisticated controllers, sensors, and other irrigation equipment. Understanding the science of creating an adequate grounding circuit is at the heart of creating the proper level of protection. This course covers National Electrical Code grounding for public safety and equipment grounding for irrigation controllers and booster pumps.  In it, we will discuss some misconceptions regarding lightening, electrical behavior, proper ground rod and ground plate installation, and minimizing equipment damage.

Instructor: Christine Hawkins The precipitation rate of sprinklers is everything. Understanding the basic formula to calculate precipitation rates and the many ways in which it can be applied will help elevate your ability to quickly offer your clients detailed information about sprinkler performance. Most design classes will gloss over this topic without a practical explanation. This course takes a deep dive into what looks like a simple concept and explains how it impacts everything from irrigation design, to scheduling a controller, to performing an audit.

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.

This panel discussion will explore why HDPE is being used more frequently in landscape irrigation, methods for installing and joining HDPE and some of the “latest and greatest” to hit the market. Panel will be moderated by Chris Pine (IrriTech Training) and will include an irrigation specifier involved in the design of HDPE piping systems, a manufacturer of HDPE materials and a contractor that regularly installs HDPE piping.

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.

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.
