Intended use: Scenario comparison and professional review

Not intended for: Stamped design, permit use, or construction

This tool estimates hydraulic behavior and planning assumptions. Final site-specific design, approvals, and implementation documents remain the responsibility of qualified professionals where required.

Step 2 · Layout & Distribution

Choose what governs irrigation discharge pressure in this design.

Select whether line pressure comes from the source, the reservoir head, or a booster pump fed by the reservoir.

Pressure behavior

Set whether controlled discharge pressure is stable or a time-series signal.

Stable uses a single PSI value. Variable generates a pressure curve over time.

Layout Inputs

Use sliders or type exact values below.

Emitter Spacing		in
Row Length		ft
Number of Rows
Row Spacing		ft

Storage Size(Dimensions)

Reservoir geometry and refill cadence are active when storage authority belongs to the reservoir.

Reservoir Templates

Choose by application: IBC totes, vertical tanks, backyard pool-size tanks, or liners.

Refill interval (hours) Required

How long the reservoir must run without refill.

Units

Reservoir shape

Width (ft)

For square, width = length. For circle, leave width empty.

Length (ft) / Diameter (ft)

If circle: diameter here. If square: leave blank or same as width.

Starting height (ft)

Enter the starting water height for the reservoir.

Elevation boost (ft)

Adds head pressure: psi gain = ft × 0.433. Default 0 for ground level.

Step 4 · Infrastructure & Cost Analysis

Estimate preliminary system cost, infrastructure savings, pumping and energy reduction, water-use efficiency gains, and payback period. Use this as a planning screen before validation and professional review.

Max flow per set (gpm)

Conventional

17

At 40.0 gpm per set available.

NanoFlow

1

At 40.0 gpm per set available.

Set reduction: 94.1%

Hydraulic architecture: Gravity Reservoir

Reservoir head governs pressure and runtime.

Set reduction derived from max flow per set and on-demand flow. Review engineering cost analysis data.
