Valves and Controller Zones

Place valves to split an irrigation plan into independently controlled zones, connect them with pipes, and document the controller.

Valves and Controller ZonesValves and Controller Zones

Valves, controllers and manifolds document irrigation control hardware. A valve marks a planned controlled circuit; a controller records its station capacity and notes. These plan objects do not run a real watering system.

1

Place control objects

Open Water → Control in the Add panel. Choose Irrigation Valve, Irrigation Controller or Valve Manifold, then click its location.

2

Describe a valve

Select the valve and choose Valve Type → Zone, Manual or Anti-Siphon. Fixture Style offers Inline Valve, Anti-Siphon and Ball Valve. Give the object a clear Name.

3

Describe the controller

Select the controller and open Controller Details. Record Stations, Programs, Sensor Inputs and Notes. These fields describe the unit; they do not create a verified watering schedule.

4

Record the intended circuits

Draw irrigation pipes and driplines separately. Use their Zone fields consistently to cross-reference the design. A shared text identifier documents intent; it is not evidence of a hydraulic connection or working hardware.
