Run Multiple Valves at a Time
Issue
You need to run multiple valves (two mor more valves) at a time in your irrigation design.
Solution
When sizing the mainline, select the Multiple valves operating at a time option.
Enter a Maximum Mainline Flow that will be enough to run at least two valves at a time.
Click OK.
The system will size the mainline to handle any combination of valves.
If you need to be more specific about which valves need to run at one time, you can click the Select Valves button. However, this shouldn't be necessary in most cases.
Once the mainline is sized, you can run a Runtime Schedule and use it to generate the valve firing sequence. To have valves run together, you'll need to number them with a ".X" suffix. For example, valves A4.1 and A4.2 will always be turned on and off together.
