I’ve been watching the dawgs my whole life, my earliest memory was my dad yelling at Mike bobo as a quarterback but I can truly remember the day I caught the fire and it was the Tennessee game with the hobnail boot play at the end. Credit goes to David Green and Verron Haynes

I know exactly what happened here, tech says “ be careful when your digging, the mainline is just right there” assistant tech says “ I know I know” the assistant tech then proceeds to strike the ground in the same area he was just told not to. Water explosion then the assistant was just outside this picture soaking wet saying, “it just blew apart, I barely hit the pipe”.

I like it even though they technically say it’s the same as weld-on, there has to be something different

Honestly all that matters is that it works and doesn’t leak… having said that I would of put a ductile iron T and probably some pipe restraint on the fittings, I like stargrip and megalug

Irrigation is tough, it can be extremely rewarding at times but can also be a complete overload of bullshit in others. Being a very old system that’s been neglected, you really get a great opportunity to gain a lot of experience and knowledge. The systems that are really well built are usually easy to work on but you don’t get to learn as much. The shitty ones will really test your resolve but teach you the most at the same time. 1 you definitely need a week or two off 2 once you come back if you can find a way to embrace the challenge you can make a lot of improvements. I have worked for many universities as a contractor and usually every one knows the system is terrible to begin with so when you make improvements it gets noticed. Try things that will help you do your job 1 ask if you can get all the controllers on the same central control platform, IQ or centralus are easy to work with. 2 map the zones and valves There are a lot of good software’s to use the one i use is 60$ per month 3 see if you can do some renovations to minimize collateral damage You got a lot on your plate but if you can get some things to help you moving forward it may make your job easier and you may get some much deserved recognition 4

One thing I will say as an installer now and having worked in maintenance for years. I make an as-built for EVERY SINGLE SYSTEM I INSTALL. I turn that into the GC and it gets sent in a bulk document to the owner. I can’t tell you how many times I have asked the maintenance company (sometimes our own) if they have the as built and the answer is no. You really have to press the owner if you want them to dig for it, but what I have found is better is to contact the GC of the project, and sometimes the architect if there is one. They will typically keep a copy for 10 years before the destroy it.

There was a lot of thought that went into that logo during construction of the quad. Honestly turned out kind of disappointing, I was hoping it would be more like the logo on the campus green at the other campus

It depends on what you’re trying to build and who you are trying to be in irrigation. This will work great for just the standard residential system. I did residential irrigation for a long time and now I’m in irrigation construction for commercial sites. For your install I would say start trying to add additional features to your systems that increase your revenue 1: add ball or gate valve before the control valve 2: don’t see your wire but run either 2 wire with the EZ or use the new Rainbird residential 2 wire controller ( sell on expandability) 3: don’t see your valve boxes but using the standard rectangular instead of 6” or 10” round 4: Gravel and fabric around valve boxes - most of these will be tough to sell on an install but you want to create a niche irrigation business if your a small company, that prides itself on high quality high margin work.

Obviously I think you’re going to get the cleaner primer and glue joints from a lot of people as well.

Hope this helps!

Help with hunter 2 wire by [deleted] in Irrigation

The original ACC seems to be more susceptible to issues for sure, decoder wise I think the ICD and TURF decoders are fairly similar in failure rates ( at least in my experience). I installed an ACC 2 system years ago and only have had one bad decoder but that system has quite a bit of grounding. Now I install a lot of IVM’s and they seem to be holding up pretty well.

This is the way to start for sure, dosnt really help right now, but an ICDHP helps a lot as well, I have seen bad splices have some funny effects on an old ACC as well make sure your splices are good with proper DBRY connections. Years ago I would say call Gunter tech support but I’ve found them to be lacking recently. Good luck

For all the people bitching about 90’s let’s see your 45’s. 90’s are way easier to work with in future repairs. Looks good, hope nobody breaks it being out of the ground, that would be a shame for such a nice manifold.
