IRRIG8-Online, IRRIG8-Lite and Checklists

Performance Assessment

Collecting key information about your system enables you to perform your own assessment checks. To help, Page Bloomer Associates has developed a selection of tools. You can access them here.

IRRIG8-Online (Beta versions)

IRRIG8-Online is a series of online calculators covering different system types, which you can use right here. They are still being testing, but we are making them available for people wanting to test systems before the summer season gets underway. The essential calculations are correct. We are still working through many other items as time permits.

These calculators were made available to us by Page Bloomer Associates and are based on the 2006 Code of Practice. They calculate the measured applied depth and application uniformity, application rate and report other results. More systems are being added. There’s a special calculator to analyse pressure and energy.

Note: these calculators do not store any data, so your information is yours and yours alone.
When you close or refresh the calculator, your data is deleted (we see this as a feature, not a bug!).
Before you leave, make sure you download any reports, charts or results files you want!

😊– we’ve checked pretty thoroughly, 😐- we’ve checked pretty well, 🤔- we’re still working on this one!

IRRIG8-Lite

If you want to keep editable records of your evaluations, IRRIG8-Lite is a downloadable tool that runs on your PC. It guides your collection of irrigation system information and processes the collected data. It reports the performance of the system with key performance indicators and graphs.

IRRIG8-Lite stores your evaluations on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded; data only gets shared if you share it.

Download IRRIG8-Lite from the Page Bloomer website.

Pre-season Irrigation Checklists

Pre-season checks are part of good management for safe and reliable operation. Do your checks well before you expect to start irrigating for the season, so you don’t get stuck when things are getting dry! The following checklists were created by Page Bloomer Associates and made available to LandWISE to share with members.
