INNOVATIVE DESIGN /////////////////////
SPRINKLER OUTLETS At Reinke, a lot goes on behind the scenes to get each water droplet into your soil. When it comes to choosing the spacing of your sprinkler outlets, you want to leave yourself options should you decide to change your sprinkler package in the future. Reinke’s standard outlet spacing is 57 inches, rather than the competitors’ 90 or 118 inches. Reinke also provides Low Energy Precision Application (LEPA) outlet spacing options at 40 inches apart as well as a 30-inch spacing option. With closer outlet spacing, you have the option to add more sprinklers at a lower height for increased precision, which leads to energy and water savings. When water is applied within a foot or two of the ground, sprinklers must be closer to properly fill the spray pattern. The 3/4-inch pipe coupler is one of the smallest parts on a Reinke irrigation system, but no detail is too small to escape the attention of our engineering and design team.
Growers want to water as much and as efficiently as they can, in the most cost-effective way. They look to us to keep the value in that high-dollar ground. It’s always the challenge of, ‘How do I get the most out of these acres for this customer?’”
