Since the last post we have replaced the old irrigation control computer with a new one. We had to buy a 32bit operating system and install that onto the computer to make it compatible with the irrigation control system software. After a few little issues with missing files we managed to get the entire system running perfectly and have reinstalled all the backed up data from the old computer. In all it took about 2 weeks to get everything back to a normally functioning irrigation system and hopefully we will have minimal operation of sprinklers during daylight hours. I would like to thank the golfers for their patience during this down time as we had to irrigate during the daytime when we manually turned sprinklers on while golfers were playing.
Now that the system is fully functioning we have noticed a couple of niggling electrical issues that is causing some sprinklers not to turn on, or in some instances they will turn on, then immediately turn off. We have had this happen other years and as yet we have been unable to identify the cause (it appears to be a random occurrence and will correct itself). It is during this time of year that we historically get issues with electrical problems and pipe leaks in the watering system. I will be on course most days during the holidays checking on the condition of the irrigation system.
I wish all the members all the best for the Christmas break and good golfing in the New Year. See you all out there and hopefully we all have a great 2015.
