1 Toro Golf Irrigation and Pump Systems Working Together to Maximize Your Irrigation Efficiency.

2 Integrating the operation of your pump station with your irrigation control system makes managing them both easier and more effective. For example, if you can view the current pressure and flow of the pump station directly from your control system, there s no need to go to the pump to see if it s running properly. The ability to remotely monitor system pressure also helps to ensure proper sprinkler performance and prevent wasted energy. Do more with your water, from source to course. The efficient, consistent distribution of water is the biggest challenge many golf courses face, but irrigating your turf most cost effectively requires a lot of interrelated steps before it reaches the sprinklers. To apply the right amount of water to the turf at the right time, every time, the two major components responsible are the irrigation pump station and the irrigation control system. The pump station located at the water source is actually the hardest-working part of the entire irrigation system, so it has to be up to the task, day after day. Given the many advantages of fully integrated control systems and pump stations, The Toro Company and formed a unique partnership to help our customers make the most of their irrigation system. By easily integrating an pump solution with a Toro control system and other irrigation system components, you can achieve unprecedented levels of efficient operation. That means you optimize the playability and aesthetics of your course while using less water. But maximizing irrigation efficiency goes beyond water consumption. When you have the industry s most proven pump system and best-in-category control system working together, you also gain better use of your time and can lower your energy costs. Toro and Flowtronex have been around for a long time and I expect them to still be around after I retire. I like dealing with companies that understand my business and listen to what I have to say about their products. Long-time user of Toro and systems A long, proud partnership in supporting your golf course. has been the industry leader since its inception.
