How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter total lawn or field area in square feet.
  2. Set head spacing and row spacing in feet — use head-to-head spacing for best uniformity.
  3. Enter GPM per head and your available source flow in GPM.
  4. Set target application depth in inches per irrigation event.
  5. Review Precipitation rate (in/hr), Run time per zone (min), and Zones needed to design and program your controller.
