The new system at Poolesville will be using Rain Bird Stratus II Central Control. Stratus™ II offers easy-to-use, time- or ET-based scheduling. It combines the point-and-click
simplicity of Windows® with intuitive Rain Bird features
to control up to as many as 27 holes. Some of the features include:
- Rain Bird Dynamic Flo-Manager -- Reduces wear and tear on the pump station by reducing unnecessary pump cycling. Provides maximum watering flexibility, especially large groups of stations (ex. fairways.) Maximum Water Window Efficiencies are achieved. Dynamically responds to field inputs (sensors, weather stations, pump stations)
- QuickIRR ™ programming is a quick and easy method for automatically building programs to meet your irrigation challenges.
- Exclusive CYCLE+SOAK™ reduces or eliminates wasteful runoff by matching each sprinkler’s application rate to the localized soil infiltration rate. Total application of water is precisely controlled regardless of number of cycles.
- Course monitor screens are intuitively designed to instantly show you exactly what is going on with your course.
- Pump Profiling™ automatically manages pump station power consumption during peak electrical rate periods.
- Industry’s only innovative, guided initialization and start‑up programming results in a customized QuickStart™ program.
