Drip Irrigation Upgrade and Irritrol-itating!


Improved fruit tree drip lines. Replaced avocado line to ready for additional trees.

Added vegetable garden drip as leg of tree line.

Added berry drip on zone 11. Shut down ivy spray heads on same zone. Requested Saul begin removal of ivy in future grape planter.

Installed new Irritrol Smart Dial control unit. This last week had several calls to the service line due to valves showing NC on the valve test. Researched and set all new programming for 10 valves. Then tried manual water
ing. All but valve 6 showed "NOW ON" on the controller, but did not activate at valve and no water came out. Valve 6 did activate and watered accordingly. This matches the results of the Help System valve test that showed all vales NC except 6 was OK. Plan to call and get advice on Monday.
