Easy Programming

IrriGRAY is very easy to program, because there is not math involved, no minutes to estimate, and no confusing dials to turn and buttons to press.

​

We recommend programming IrriGRAY on a computer or large tablet first. It is possible to program IrriGRAY on a small smart phone, however using the large computer screen is much easier.

​

All IrriGRAY needs to know is:

 

  • where the system is located (for weather)

  • what the local water use restrictions are

  • how big each zone is, and what type of planting is in that zone.

​

Every IrriGRAY Programming page has a help panel at the right, and a link to a video guide on YouTube.

The next step is setting up zones (stations), and each can be defined as one of four zone types:

​

  • Graywater Dripperline (& Potable / Rain / Well Makeup Supply)

  • Graywater Disposal

  • Potable Water Sprinkler

  • Potable Water Dripperline

​

This is an example of the setup for a Graywater Dripperline Zone:

​

  • How big is the zone?

  • What is the main Plant Type in the Zone?

  • How Dense is the foliage of the plants across the zone

  • Which Days of the Week should the zone receive (normally every day is best)

​

Because this zone is for potable water spray irrigation, it doesn't need as much information.

​

For example days of the week are not required, because this is controlled by water restriction days, set in Climate & Water.

IrriGRAY includes charts that show water by day, by zones, totals, with breakdowns of:

​

  • Potable Dripperline gallons

  • Potable Sprinkler gallons

  • Makeup Water gallons

  • Excess Graywater (irrigated) gallons

  • Graywater gallons

  • New Planting gallons

The Event Timeline shows when different irrigation zone events occurred, as well as filter cleaning and if the rain sensor triggered.

​

In this example, a hotel laundry is processing large amounts of very dirty towels and cleaning clothes for about 4 hours each day.

​

Water ReNu support fine tuned the disc filter cleaning program settings to clean frequently with a small amount of water each time.
