ML Irrigation / Resources

Irrigation training, design tools & technical guides

34 free resources from the manufacturers we carry — training courses, sizing calculators, installation guides and full document libraries. We have used most of these speccing systems ourselves. If you would rather just ask someone, that is what we are here for: tell us your crop, water source and acreage and we will size it with you.

Training & Certification

Free manufacturer courses covering installation, system design and troubleshooting. Worth putting a new crew member through before they touch a valve box — most of these are self-paced and cost nothing.

  • Hunter University ↗ Hunter Course catalogue — installation fundamentals, controllers, central control. Certificates on completion.
  • Irrigation Academy ↗ Netafim Agronomy and system design for drip and micro-irrigation, taught by their field team.
  • Irrigation Training Series ↗ Jain Practical training modules on drip system layout and management.
  • Knowledge Center ↗ Bermad Valve theory, hydraulics and control — the best free material on how control valves actually behave.
  • Webinars ↗ Bermad Recorded sessions with their engineers on valve selection and system protection.
  • Education & Technical Reference ↗ Toro Technical reference library covering irrigation products and system design.

Design & Sizing Calculators

The tools we use ourselves when speccing a system. Get the sizing right on paper and you avoid the two most expensive mistakes in irrigation — a pump that cannot hold pressure at the far end, and filtration that cannot cope with the water you actually have.

Technical Guides & How-To

Installation practice and the reasoning behind it. Most irrigation failures are not product failures — they are a splice in a valve box that was never rated for submersion, or a filter one size below what the water needed.

In our catalog: AC solenoid valves · Chlorination · Specialized tools

Catalogs & Document Libraries

Full spec sheets, price lists and part tables straight from each manufacturer. If you need a dimension, a flow rate or a part number we have not listed on a product card, it is almost certainly in one of these.
