As Spring signals the
start of the new season and warmer weather (we hope!), irrigation
systems across the country are being turned back on again after the
winter and, for those whose systems were never turned off, seasonal
maintenance is well underway.
If this process
highlights irreparable issues, confirmed by a consultation with a
service engineer or contractor, that the wholesale replacement of
your existing system just isn't feasible, then top of most wish
lists is a PC-driven control system.
Toro's
Lynx irrigation control system software offers the
ultimate in flexible management of your irrigation.
It's fast, intuitive and provides greenkeeping and grounds
professionals with all the information they need to better manage
their water and resources. It is the only control system for golf and
irrigated sports venues available from Toro because, quite simply, no
other is needed.
Designed in conjunction with a top
Google software developer, and in close consultation with
greenkeeping and other turf professionals, its key features and
benefits include an intuitive interface that allows users to
precisely customise the system to their course conditions and
requirements.
It features reporting and map
components, plus access to comprehensive information like weather and
pump stations, sprinklers, intelligent field controllers and Toro
Turf Guard wireless soil sensors. But when you unite Lynx with Toro's
Infinity Series sprinklers it's a winning combination.
Infinity sprinklers have all the quality
features of increased efficiency, enhanced course appearance and
improved playing conditions, for which Toro is renowned. But with the
big, added benefit of "˜Smart Access'.
With Smart Access, Toro has designed a
sprinkler in which every element – big or small, mechanical or
electrical – is easily accessible from the top of the unit.
Therefore sprinkler maintenance has never been easier.
It means an end to digging out the
sprinkler for or adjustments, avoiding consequent damage to the
playing surface and all the time-consuming rectifying work needed to
make good.
Robert Jackson, irrigation manager at
Lely, says: "With the smart technology of Lynx and Smart Access of
Infinity you get the ideal combination to maximise performance with
minimal effort. The unprecedented amount of integrated, valuable
information packed into Lynx software allows course managers to make
even better choices about what their course needs at all times and in
all situations. This precise, comprehensive information lets them get
the jobs done more quickly, more easily and, above all, effectively.
Add on top of that a sprinkler, which enables users to add new
technology using only a screwdriver and you can see how the job just
got a whole lot easier."
The
combination of a Lynx control system and Infinity sprinklers proved
to be a popular choice for golf clubs and sporting venues the length
and breadth of Britain in 2015 and that is a trend that shows no sign
of changing in 2016.
