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

Irrigreen Throw Distances
Verify psi before placing heads
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
40 psi 5’
50 psi 5’
60 psi 5’
70 psi 5’
80 psi 5’

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

Digital Sprinkler

Flush all lines before and after
installing heads
1. Before installing any heads, flush lines
to remove all dirt and sand
2. After all heads are installed, run the last Digital
Sprinkler(s) on the end of all pipe runs at maximum throw for
several minutes to remove all air from the system.
3. Run all Valve zones to remove all air from the system
Trapped / deadhead air anywhere in the system acts as an
“air piston”, causing calibration errors

Irrigreen2 App
Log onto Irrigreen Wi-Fi network with your mobile device to get started
Rollover to property Wi-Fi network for system monitoring (see App Manual)
Irrigreen private Wi-Fi signal from Controller (2.4 GHz)
Wi-Fi Range: Wi-Fi is a low-power radio signal
Controller location, landscape elevations (signal going through
soil), house construction (stucco, steel, etc.) affects Wi-Fi
range. Wi-Fi extenders will extend range while mapping zones.
IrriGreen has Wi-Fi extenders available.
Note:
For Irrigreen system monitoring, roll the system over to
the property owner’s Wi-Fi network for internet access.
Rolling the Wi-Fi over to Property’s Wi-Fi network will
typically improve Wi-Fi range. 17
