Irrigation Controller Upgrade

Irrigation Controller Upgrade

Raised

$6,014.28

Goal

$15,000.00

We are raising funds to upgrade the controllers we use to manage the irrigation system on our beautiful Moss Vale GC course. The current controllers were installed in 1995 and are used to set the watering times for the greens and fairways, mostly overnight. They do not provide any remotely accessible information and so our course staff frequently come in after hours to make sure the system is working as programmed. The controllers don’t provide recent activity data and so the course staff can’t always be certain how much water was applied in different areas the previous evening. On occasions this can lead to re-watering when not needed and other times to areas going without water and becoming too dry.


We have sourced a new set of controllers locally and they can be supplied and installed for $15,000, the amount we are looking to raise. The new controllers are much more functional and provide greatly enhanced monitoring data, all of which can be accessed via an App. If installed, the benefits will include more efficient water usage, lower power and other maintenance costs, plus allow our greens staff more time on other work. Better water allocation will reduce our environmental footprint, prevent overwatering or underwatering and enhance overall course playing surfaces and quality.


Your tax -deductible contributions will directly support the purchase and installation of the new controllers. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant difference in realising this project. So please show your support by donating today and help to maintain MVGC as a wonderful course for members, guests and visitors!
