Irrigreen System Requirements
Constant pressure, good flow, clean water
•40 - 80 psi (Any constant pressure between 40 - 80 psi)
•10+ gpm (Must be checked during preliminary site visit)
•Well systems require a constant pressure pump or regulated constant
pressure supply; e.g. with a PRV set below the lowest pump setting
•Filter needed for any water source with particulates (sand, grit)
500 Micron filter (similar to drip systems) recommended

Low flow may affect throws
Maximum Throw
40 psi 25’
50 psi 27.5’
60 psi 30’
70 psi 32.5’
80 psi 35’
Minimum Throw

Total Area
At 60 psi, one Irrigreen head will evenly water up to ~2000 sq.ft.

System Design (1 of 2)
One Head per Zone
Place Head to Reach Farthest Corner, 25-35 Feet
Exact placement
not critical as you
can program the
head to the shape
of the zone
Don’t overlap
sprays or zones
Installation hint:
Walk in from the
corner with a wheel
and place a flag at
25-30’ for head
placement.
NOTE: The zone
start up point
(Position 1)
must be set at
least 10 feet so
the head has
enough
flow/pressure to
fully “pop up”.
After head is
fully popped up,
OK to set points
as short as 5
feet.

System Design (2 of 2)
One Head per Zone
Place head 5 feet or more from the nearest edge*
*For narrow
zones less than
10’ wide, place
head along edge
and program in
a ~180 degree
pattern
Design hint:
For watering
shrubs/bushes
without drip,
you may
program
streams to
shoot out and
hit individual
bushes

Sprinklers are Pre-numbered for each Zone
They will run in that numerical order*
Locate each sprinkler in the numerical order you want them to run*
9
Digital Sprinklers have Zone Numbers
1-8, 9-16 assigned at the factory
Zone Number on Sprinkler box Zone Number on Sprinkler
*Head #1 runs first
Head #2 runs second
Head #3 runs third
Etc.

Digital Sprinkler Head Depth
Position head so the Digital Sprinkler
cap is slightly above grade
