I ran the watering schedule of a project am working on at the moment, I noticed that i had same time for the drip areas valves,

and same time for the (bubblers + RWS) vlaves,

 

But I also came up with several different watering times of the Turf Rotors valves..

these watering times are not even close to each other like (70, 39, 41, 58 min) as the file attached..

 

 

please any explanation why this can happen even though as generated the have similar precip rate?

Nibal,

The watering times seem to align with the Precip Rates that have been generated per station. Is there a desired Precip Rate that you were looking for the system to generate?

 

Remember, the lower the precip, the longer watering time (since you are trying to reach the same amount of water requirement in each rotor zone). And the precip is generated based on head coverage/layout, so there may be layout differences per zone that is causing this discrepancy.

 

Let me know what, if anything, I am missing and we can go from there!

 

Cheers,
