Waketech Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 All, I have done some searches and came up empty, I am trying to program my sprinklers etc but need so clarification on a few things... Evapatorisation I assume this is the amount of water taken from the lawn per day, when is this reset (time) Irrigation Requirement I assume this how much water is required to replenish the moisture, how does this get reset ? Yesterday's water deficit I assume this is a mirror of the Evaporatisation ? Through the irrigation module i have entered the following info.. Soil Type = Silty Loam Root Depth = 1" (new sod only a year old, not sure if this number is correct) Managed allowable depletion = 50% Calculated deletion = 0.1" Based on this my water applied number is 0.125" (Does this seem normal and what does this mean) I used the Wiki to calculate the run times so this is straight forward, however all is based on the data above. What to I program to turn on the sprinklers ?(Irrigation requirement, etc) ?. Also what is the cycle complete for ?. Thanks
Michel Kohanim Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Hi Waketech, Evapatorisation I assume this is the amount of water taken from the lawn per day, when is this reset (time) Yes. Irrigation Requirement I assume this how much water is required to replenish the moisture, how does this get reset ? Yes ... to reset: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... the_Module Yesterday's water deficit I assume this is a mirror of the Evaporatisation ? No, irrigation requirement which also includes rain information. Through the irrigation module i have entered the following info.. Soil Type = Silty Loam Root Depth = 1" (new sod only a year old, not sure if this number is correct) Managed allowable depletion = 50% Calculated deletion = 0.1" Based on this my water applied number is 0.125" (Does this seem normal and what does this mean) It means that your plants require 0.125" of water per cycle. I used the Wiki to calculate the run times so this is straight forward, however all is based on the data above. What to I program to turn on the sprinklers ?(Irrigation requirement, etc) ?. Also what is the cycle complete for ?. You use Irrigation Requirement: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index ... _If_Needed With kind regards, Michel
