Simplified Irrigation Design, 2nd Edition (Landscape Architecture)

I read this book to get ready to take my Texas Irrigation License exam. It explained how to properly install a professional quality sprinkler system in an easy to read and understand format. This book goes into detail about how to layout the sprinkler heads, how to pipe it all together, and how all the parts work together. I have read many irrigation books...This was the best book to get a good understanding of sprinkler systems without becoming an expert in the field of irrigation. Perfect for the do it yourself homeowner or individual wanting to get into the irrigation industry. I now have my license and highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn to install a good sprinkler system without having to read an irrigation reference manual.

To pass the pipe fitter test

Very, very basic stuff. Mixed in with stuff you would never use in the field. Not to mention the product that is being used as examples hasn't been mainstream since the 80's. You would think that they would use the Industry standards.

Fit my needs

A must have to pass you contractor exam

Good handbook ever.

The book does not include any of the new irrigation components, which are the trend in the industry. It is written in an over simplistic style, however does touch upon all the major elements of irrigation.

perfect, just what i needed, condition was as expected

Good reference guide, an updated irrigation design, install guide is definitely needed
