Understanding
your irrigation system and the effects of making changes can be a complex
subject but if you understand the basic principles it will go a long way to
help you maintain your site and deliver your expectations.
Bailoy is
often contacted when a PC-based system is not performing as expected, assuming
the problem is the controller hardware or the software running it. Users often
perceive the controller and the software running it, as the sophisticated and
intelligent means to deliver fail proof performance.
Apart
from obvious issues like cable breaks or damaged heads, in 9 out of 10 cases Bailoy
find that the data entered in the system is the cause of the issue.
Each
station in the software contains information (data) relevant to that station
such as head type, nozzle sets, arcs, flow and spacings. So, if that
information was either not entered correctly when the system was installed, or
has changed over time, then your data is out of line and you will experience
performance issues.
So, if
your irrigation system is underperforming ask yourself if any of the station
data itemised above has changed. If the answer is yes, contact Bailoy for
advice.

manufacture, distribute and support the GTI Gemini and GTI Trident range of
controllers.
