One of the neat features of the new PC Control from Irritrol, is being able to show pictures of each sprinkler zone. Depending on what software you have on your computer, such as CAD and Acrobat, you might get an error when you follow the manual from Irritrol. We have a work around that will let you post your pictures.
1. You can Drag n Drop a photo in PC Control. To do this start up PC Control and navigate to Setup -> Zones.
2. Make sure your are on the correct zone that you would like to use a custom photo for and then click on the button labeled “Photo.”
3. The next step that is needed is to open a new browser window and navigate to your pictures. Most people have their pictures stored in the folder “My Pictures.”
4. Once you are in the folder that has the picture you want to use, click on the photo and drag it over to PC Control software and drop it in the grey box where the photo is usually displayed for the zone.
5. Click the button “Set” and then “Done.”
You can repeat these steps for every zone that you want a custom photo for.
Daybreak or just before dawn is the ideal time to water your lawn.Evaporation is at a minimum, and the rising sun will quickly dry the grassreducing the likelihood of disease. Unfortunately, many of us have a day job to go to, and find it difficult at best, to go out in morning before work to get the hoses and sprinklers working.
Daytime- Daytime is also a good time to water your lawn. You can pour on generous amounts and allow it to soak in. The blades of grass dry quickly minimizing the risk of plant disease. The major disadvantage is it takes more water. Evaporation steals a portion of the water you apply, before it can soak in and reach the grass roots.
Nighttime- A lot of us choose nighttime and the hours just before dark for two reasons. First, is the simple fact that we are home. After dinner is the time many of us devote to caring for our lawns and yards. We also know that the water we apply will not be robbed by the sun through evaporation. The major disadvantage is plant disease thrives in wet, humid conditions. The water sits on the blades of grass all night, improving the breeding ground for disease.
Of course you can install an automatic sprinkler system. Then set your timers to water early in the morning without ever getting out of bed. The newest feature on the market is the new PC Control system. Control your automatic sprinklersystem from your PC.
