Irrigation upgrade

As mentioned many times previously, the irrigation system is in dyer need of an upgrade.  Given the cost of a total renovation, we must and have addressed this situation, one step/component at a time.  The past two season have been spent relocating sprinklers, correcting triangulation, and creating efficient programming.  This January, due to a failing 32 year old Toshiba pump/motor controller, we were forced to upgrade to a Watertronics control panel.  I say "forced" because we had exhausted all alternatives in keeping the old panel operational.  Next in line for upgrades will be a VFD drive for our 75 hp pumps, which should extend the life of our motors and pumps, as well as conserve electricity.  Our electricity costs are slated to increase 1.9% to 4.4% above last season.
