This lawn sprinkler system design calculator offers convenient tools for designers on both Palm OS and Windows desktop platforms. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to use for efficient designing.
HydroCalc is a fantastic software solution for designers of lawn sprinkler systems. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, this powerful application is a must-have for anyone who wants to save time and effort when designing irrigation systems. It is available in both Palm OS and Windows desktop versions, so it's ideal for anyone who wants to work on the go or from the office.
One of HydroCalc's most impressive features is its ability to calculate a wide range of system parameters. This includes the maximum system flow, water velocity through various pipe sizes, and dynamic pressure based on static pressure. What's more, HydroCalc takes into account the meter size, pipe sizes and materials and length, number and type of fittings, valves and backflow preventer. It's also capable of determining the zone or system precipitation rate based on 1 to 3 different methods.
HydroCalc can help you design your lawn sprinkler system with precision thanks to its ability to determine the evaporation and transpiration rate based on average temperature and humidity. It can also consider soil type, percent of slope, and whether the ground is bare or planted. Using all these factors, HydroCalc provides its users with a suggested watering schedule.
Enter information from your local water bill, plus system flow rate and run time, and the program will calculate the cost to run the system per week, month, and year. What's even more impressive is that the Windows version generates reports from your project that can be edited/printed with any word processor. The Palm version can print the data you generate if you have an IR-capable printer or serial cable and PalmPrint or SCSPrint software (trial version included).
HydroCalc comes with context-sensitive online help that makes using the software easy and straightforward. It ensures that you're never lost or stuck and can get back to designing your sprinkler system as quickly as possible. The software also comes with a fully functional demo Palm version, available here for free, which allows you to try it for ten days and includes a few "please register me" nags. Additionally, HydroCalc comes with an interactive on-screen tutorial that demonstrates and instructs about every aspect of the program.
