Toro Lynx ® Control System
The Toro Lynx® Control System was developed to address the challenges and changing priorities that operators face every day. The introduction of the Lynx Cloud and the Lynx Fusion provide greater operator convenience. Toro Lynx Cloud enables system updates and adjustments to be made from anywhere via smartphone or tablet. The “Find me” feature helps locate the closest sprinkler to the operator at any given moment, ensuring adjustments are made in the correct spot. Lynx Fusion allows two types of system to be combined and operated from one Lynx Central Control computer, allowing the flexibility to transition to a new system over time. Additional enhancements include: automated back-up to both the customer’s computer and the Cloud on a bi-weekly, weekly, or monthly basis; customized Alarm notifications such as rain detected by the weather station; and map rotation.
Rain Bird Flow Indicating Basket Filters
Winner of the Irrigation Association’s 2021 New Product Contest for Landscape Irrigation, Rain Bird’s new Flow-Indicating Basket Filter product line makes irrigation systems easier to install and maintain. They provide flow measurement, filtration, and integrated pressure regulation in an all-in-one, compact solution. Ideal for drip systems, the Filters are designed to work with any residential or commercial irrigation system with a flow range of 3.0 gpm to 20 gpm (11,4 to 75,7 L/m). A dial at the top of the filter cap provides diagnostic information about the zone’s operation. During irrigation system installation, contractors can use the basket filter’s accurate fl ow reading to simplify design and scheduling calculations. Then, by using the basket filter’s indicator bezel to mark that zone’s appropriate flow rate on the dial, they can also diagnose any future maintenance issues, such as weeping valves, system blockages, leaks/excessive flow, or a clogged filter. Cleaning the filter is easy due to its unique upright design, which also prevents debris from entering the downstream line during routine maintenance.
