Solid set Big Gun irrigation has been around for decades. But the weakness has always been in the operation. Traditional systems have been controlled by wired controllers - only to be abandoned after dealing with the frustration of rodents chewing up the wires and lightning strikes blowing up solenoids. Wireless controls have also been tried, but poor reliability, delicate hardware,complex setup and operation, and the high price tag have prevented them from catching on.Portable or mobile Big Gun systems have also been in use for many years, using either portable tripods on aluminum pipe, hose-fed carts, or Nelson Irrigation’s revolutionary QC (quick coupling) valve system. But the high application rate of Big Guns requires more frequent moves, and portable systems cannot be automated using a wired control system.TWIG Wireless Controls solve all these problems. Using a ruggedized radio and valve at each Big Gun, each sprinkler can be individually controlled from a central controller. Because there are no wires, lightning and rodent damage is virtually eliminated, and portable systems are a viable option. Sprinklers can be set to “cycle and soak” to spread the application depth out over time, getting more water in the ground and requiring fewer moves for portable systems. It is designed with the irrigator in mind and can be installed and operated by anyone.
Automated Big Gun systems have been used extensively in equestrian arenas for dust control. Here are some ways sprinklers can help:
Wetting the Surface: When water is sprayed over the arena surface, it wets the dust particles and makes them heavier. The weight of the particles prevents them from becoming airborne and reduces the amount of dust in the air.
Reducing Impact: The water from the sprinklers also softens the arena surface, which can help to reduce the impact on the horse's joints and muscles.
Cooling Effect: During hot and dry weather, sprinklers can provide a cooling effect, which can be especially beneficial for horses during intense training sessions.
Cost-Effective: Compared to other dust control methods, such as chemical treatments, sprinklers are relatively inexpensive and easy to install.
To effectively control dust with sprinklers, it's important to use them at the right time and in the right amount. For example, too much water can create mud or affect the footing, while too little water may not be effective in controlling dust. It's recommended to water the arena before riding, and periodically during riding sessions, depending on the weather and intensity of riding. Additionally, some sprinkler systems may require adjustments to ensure even coverage across the arena surface.
