What’s Included

What else you need:

• 1″ Mainline PVC or Poly Pipe
• 1″ Elbows, connectors, end caps
• 1″ Tees with 1″ female pipe thread
• Pipe Cutter
• PVC Glue
• Recommended: 6″ Valve Box (one per head)
• Pressure Gauge
• Teflon Tape

Irrigreen System Requirements:

1. Constant pressure (between 40-80 psi)
2. Good flow (8+ gpm )
3. Clean water

Well Systems: Well Systems require a constant pressure pump or a cycle stop valve with a small tank. A pressure regulating valve (PRV) may work.
Water Sources with Particulates: A filter is required for any water source with particulates (e.g. sand, grit, mud, lake water, etc.). Use a 100 mesh (150 microns) filter, similar to drip systems.

Measure Pressure

Step 1: Measure Pressure

Max Water Distance

Connect your pressure gauge to your water spigot

• Measuring water pressure will tell you the maximum distance that your sprinkler head can spray and help you determine head placement.

Step 2: Bucket Test (Flow)

• Make sure you can fill a 5 gallon bucket in less than 45 seconds.

Sprinkler Head And Controller Placement

Step 3: Sprinkler Head Placement

See Video

1. Mark where you think you want to place your sprinkler(s).
   • (Exact placement not critical as you can program each sprinkler to the shape of the zone.)
2. Using a tape measure, measure to the farthest corner of each zone to make sure you have enough watering range to reach every part of the zone.
   • Refer to the psi/distance chart before placing heads. The farthest corner is the longest distance in the zone.

Example of two zones:

Place sprinkler heads in the approximate center of each zone.

• Don’t overlap sprays or zones.
• Place 1 sprinkler per zone.
• Place sprinklers so that they can reach your furthest corners.

Check minimum throw distance (cannot be less than 5 feet).

NOTE

• Sprinklers cannot be programmed to distances less than 5 feet, to keep the riser from retracting.

For narrow zones (less than 10′ wide):

• Place sprinkler along the edge.
• Sprinklers can be programmed to water in a 180° pattern, or other patterns.
• The 5 feet minimum throw distance ensures that the sprinkler has enough pressure to stay popped up.

Step 4: Controller Placement

See Video

Choose a location for your controller that is:

• Next to an outlet
• Has four bars of WiFi coverage

You will mount the controller in a later step (Step 12).
Controller is weather proof and may be mounted outside.

Find and Tap into Your Water Line

Step 5: Find and Tap into Your Water Line

You need to find your water line (mainline) to connect Irrigreen to your water source.

Where is my mainline?

Tapping into Your Existing Mainline:

1. Shut off water and find your mainline.
2. Cut the mainline underground.
3. Plumb a tee connector in to provide water to the Irrigreen sprinkler(s).

Make sure you check the backflow and anti-siphon valve regulations in your area.
Contact your local water utility or plumbing professional if you are unable to locate your mainline.

Trenching

See Video

Step 6: Trenching

1. Trench 1″ pipe 10-12″ deep to sprinkler locations.
2. Dig ~13″ deep hole for sprinkler(s). Do not bury the pipe or the sprinklers until Step 15 (pg 20).

Connect FlexPipe to Mainline

Step 7: Connect FlexPipe to Mainline

FlexPipe connects

Step 8: Flush out the Pipes for 3 minutes

1. Point the flexpipe, for all sprinklers at the end of a pipe, outside the hole.
2. Turn on the mainline to flush out.
3. Let water run for 3 minutes, minimum.

This step is very important!

• It gets rid of any dirt, debris, or glue in pipes.
• Operating sprinklers with unflushed debris in pipe voids the warranty.

See Video

Step 9: Connect Sprinkler Head To Flexpipe

Recommended:

• Use a 6″ valve box next to each sprinkler for easier maintenance. Coil excess sprinkler cables and connectors inside the valve box.
• You can bury the top so it isn’t seen.

Connector Cables

Step 10: Connect Irrigreen Cables to Head

• Connect the controller cable to a sprinkler. If this is the last sprinkler on the line, put an end plug on the open connector to keep the connector dry.
• If there are more sprinklers on this line, connect a sprinkler cable to the larger connector end to “daisy chain” to the next sprinkler on the line. Do not bury sprinklers until they are detected and initialized in the app.

Step 11: Use CableLok Over Connectors

CableLoks help prevent any leakage or corroding. Use CableLok over all connectors.

1. Align arrows on connectors. Push connectors together until they bottom out.
2. Place CableLok Top over connectors and align ridge with corresponding ridge on connector.
3. Snap CableLok Top down into place.
4. Align and Snap CableLok Bottom into place.

Controller Box Mounting And Wiring

Step 12: Controller Box Mounting

1. Remove top bracket from controller and place it level on the wall.
2. Screw in the top bracket.
3. Put the controller on top bracket and slide it down in place.
4. Put screws in the two holes on bottom bracket to hold the controller box in place.
