Outer space view of one of my monster houses

[Midlo Snow Maker]

Just finished the sto on this system. i have been taking care of it for about 12 years, the system itself is about 20 years old and is pretty reliable. it has around 400 heads.The rotor zones avg 17 heads. changed 30 at this years sto. 1 mist head zone has 52 12" 570 mist heads and yes it pops up and sprays. The pump is a 5HP 75GPM that hangs from the dock and has to push the water straight up hill 100' elevation right off the get go to the level ground where the house is. 2 1/2" main line Toro 1 1/2" valves super 700 which are still being changed over to pgp's, clock is a rainbird esp. system only has 21 zones but with the large zones it kept it down.

here is the view from 1,000 feet and a few ground pics. the red area is the irrigation limits

after you walk all the heads you feel it:dizzy:



The red line is 1/2 of a mile of 1 1/2" main line that was pulled in one day for 2 zones at the front entranceway used #10 single strand wire the distance from the furthest zone to the pump is just under a mile

the purple area is a new development we are doing 1 mile of roadway 3 to 4 rows of heads and 2 submersible pumps and a 3" main

They irrigate with salt water?

Cool pics. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to see the pump setup.

We had one mega system that was an entire community sprawled over around 20 acres. 4" main, 100 GPM zones, I-25's...good times :)

Great pics! You should contact that pigtail guy about getting set up with a remote on that property. :rolleyes: I'd take my mountain bike to work on that place.

:)

you get 2 stars for paying attention, this is only about 5 miles east of the fall line. salty water really never flows back this far. I have caught crabs in RIC in the driest of stretches when there is not much fresh water flow but rare for it to make it this far back
