yes, I have a 2 hp pump for each application
OK her goes. I really have enjoyed this dialogue. We have about 2.5 acres of avocados about 240 trees. The previous owner had a water tank high enough on the hill to supply the water needs for his purpose without regard for the actual needs of the avocado trees and because he was getting resonable crops he didn't bother to modify the system. It consists of a bubbler head that projects about 2-3 ft of water and amounts to about 150 to 200 gals a month for each tree. We now have a 10k water tank w...
Thank you for your help. Looks like I will buy the Hunter ICC. Everyone I talked to seemed to like it and now that I have a solution to my complicated watering scheem, I am much relieved. Once again thank you.
First I want to thank Mr fixit and Boots for your responses. I was having a tough time with the delay for the Hunter ICC but I think I have figured it out.

Next run station 2 for 2 min and the delay program will run for another 5 hr and 59 min and then station 3 will run fo...
I have looked at the Hunter ICC and it does look like a nice unit. But I am still confused by your solution. How is the empty zone programmed?

I know what I am trying to do is not the norm for sprinklers and there is no ready solution. One idea that I had...
We have recently purchased an avocado grove and We need to upgrade my sprinkler system. I need to be able to water for at least 12hr per station and then wait 12hr before the next station turns on. This is due to the limiting capabilitiy of the well. Is there controller that will do this for us. We currently need 7 stations but we may need more in the future.
