Greetings. I have an irrigation maste plan that I am building. 80-acres. 3" mainline loop with several future POC's. Feeder meters with back flows, etc. I have also designed a Rainbird CLP Booster pump to boot the pressure by 42psi and max flow to 110 gpm. When I place the Booster Pump on the mainline, none of the pressure increases are accounted during the mainline sizing or critical analysis. Can anyone offer any insight? Do I have to have ALL the zones and valves determined at this phase? I'd think not, but am not sure. Thank you for your help pin advance.

Joshua,
It might be best if you could send us your plan so we can take a look at how things are set up. Please use the Technical Support tool to wrap up the files we need and send that zip over so we can have a peek. From there I might be able to point you in the right direction.

Jake-
Thanks for the call this morning and working through this one with me. Moving the booster pump to one dedicated POC and disconnecting our future POC's did the trick.
Cheers!;)

Jake,

Joshua,

Can you please explain more what did you exactly do regarding the booster pump?

Did you consider it as a point of connection? thats what i understand, is it right?

 

i usually need to place a booster pump in my irrigation plans,

but i always consider the point of connetion is the irrigation water tank, not the booster pump?

i need to ask is this way correct or it is more effective to consider the booster pump as the point of connection..?

 

Thanks

Nibal

Nibal,

This was a case of putting the Booster Pump in the wrong location. No, the Booster Pump is NOT a POC, it typically goes just AFTER (downstream of) the POC. The system still needs an actual source of water with an available pressure and flow, THEN the pump assists the available pressure by increasing the pressure when sizing the mainline.

Regards,

Thank you Jake so much,

i got the point now..
