Solid Set Irrigation Calibration

Reading the Results


Solid Set Irrigation System Calibration continued:

After the system completes an operation cycle, the amount of effluent in each raingauge is recorded. Noticeable patterns (either too much or too little) in the gauges can indicate a problem with a particular riser or nozzle. If the entire application amount is too great or too little, this could indicate that the pump, lines, or nozzles need to be checked.
