Assumptions & project notes
- Material allowance: 10%. Package sizes and coverage rates are editable in the inputs.
- Usable flow must already account for pressure and losses. The zone count checks flow only, not pressure distribution.
- Check final dimensions, product specifications and any required local approvals before ordering.
Tools & preparation
- Tape measure and layout stakes
- Level or grade-checking tools
- Spade, rake and wheelbarrow where required
- Product-specific cutting and connection tools
A preparation list; confirm installation tools with your selected products.
Reference material
How to use the drip irrigation planner
Start with plants, emitters per plant, emitter flow, usable supply flow, length. The result includes total emitter flow, flow-based minimum zones. Open advanced options to match your product sizes, material allowance and labor expectations.
1. Measure and specify
Measure the treated area or route and record soil, slope, access and utility constraints.
2. Adjust the estimate
Choose the actual product coverage, layer depths or irrigation performance data.
3. Prepare your order
Check delivery units, overlaps, site storage and waste before placing the order.
4. Plan the work
Schedule preparation, installation and final grading or flow checks; follow the selected product instructions.
