The next time you pick up a plastic sprinkler, you might consider the science and technology it represents. Years of research have changed the way we use plastics. Different resins and blends offer different characteristics — strength and durability; flexibility or hardness; dimensional stability; resistance against UV, chemicals, and friction. These characteristics determine a product’s [...]

Different soil types respond differently to water. When it comes to irrigation, application rate must match your soil’s ability to absorb water. High application rates can create surface sealing and runoff, carrying surface soil away. Applying the water at a rate that matches the soil’s needs allows the water to penetrate the soil slowly. Application [...]
HYSTERESIS in pressure regulators is the difference in outlet pressures when the inlet pressure is increasing to a certain psi above the regulating pressure, and then decreasing to that same psi. It can vary depending upon the flow and the outlet psi where the measurement is taken. In this chart, look at 40 psi as [...]
Low pressure irrigation translates to reduced horsepower requirements and reduced energy consumption. With rising fuel and electricity costs, low operating pressures offer you a tremendous opportunity to lower total pumping costs. The savings vary depending on your specific system. Hours of operation, flow, pressure, energy source, and cost are all considerations. We at Senninger have [...]
A pressure regulator limits excess inlet water pressure to a constant outlet pressure. You need constant outlet pressure to ensure that your sprinkler (or emitter) performs well. Water travels through the inlet end of the regulator and around a fixed seat into the critical flow area. The water then enters into a hollow cylinder called [...]
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY…
“I have heavy to sandy soil with slope in some places. Using Senninger’s i-Wobs, I’m not getting the runoff I had with other product packages. That means I am able to cut back the gallonage on the machines a bit and spread my water out farther.”- Butch Morris, Idaho
