We're using Hunter Eco-Wrap 12" x 12" o.c. 0.6gph flow rate to irrigate an area of approximately 1000sf. Sizing the laterals for this zone came back with pipes in the 2.5"+ range which did not make sense. Reviewing the "Equipment Info" for the drip area shows the area is being calculated at 112+GPM. I would be expecting something in the range of 10 GPM for this size zone. I've used the highlight valve tool and the 1000sf area in question is all that is highlighted. In reviewing the other drip zones in the project I am getting comparably high zone GPM results so I assume this is in some way user error on our part . Can someone point me in the direction of what we may be missing?

Thank you,

Daniel,
It sounds like your dripline equipment is missing the row spacing and therefore miscalculating the flows for each area. Delete the equipment from the irrigation manager and add it back exactly how you added it originally. You should then see the emitter and row spacings as designed. Make sure to then resize your laterals and mainline and things will populate with the proper flows.

If you need any further help, please use our tech support system and we would be happy to help investigate further.
Jake,

Thank you. That did appear to fix the issue. Looking back I do see the last Irrigation schedule I placed listed the spacing for the PLD at 'RR' instead of 12". How does something like this happen so we can avoid it in the future?
Daniel,

There was a bug that using the Replace feature on dripline would cause this. But that has been corrected.
