Requirements
- The information contained in this course is beginner or novice level, and can be taken on it's own. However, it was created in context of a curriculum called Irrigation 101. We recommend taking all the basic courses for a full understanding of all foundational concepts.
Description
This online video course is about all the different kinds of valves that can be used in an irrigation / sprinkler system. Beginners can take this course with only a minimum of knowledge and skills such as using a multi-meter.
.
Be sure to download the 25 page Study Guide from the link in the first lesson. We recommend that you acquire a multi-meter and the different valves that we disassemble and follow along in real time. You'll gain so much confidence by troubleshooting and rebuilding a bunch of different valves.
.
The course is in English and uses the Imperial Measurement System (inches, feet, pounds.) We hope to provide lessons in Metric and Spanish at some point in the future. For now, download Hunter's Friction Loss Charts PDF that has a conversion chart for Metric / Imperial.

I've owned three irrigation contracting companies over the last 20 years, and still own and operate Professional Irrigation Services in Greenville, SC. My experience in the business covers the entire range of positions from trench digger to owner, and I've installed and repaired every type and configuration (except for golf courses) of irrigation system. Over the years, I've trained many technicians, and always wished that there was a training system that I could plug a new hire into to get them up and running with fundamental knowledge. Pro Irrigation Training is the answer to that need.
