What is a Centre Pivot Automation System?
A centre pivot irrigation system is an overhead sprinkler that can cover large swaths of land with water from up to 50 feet in the air. The device moves back and forth across its arc or radius, pivoting around a central point at ground level which acts as the fulcrum point where all motion begins. The water will then go out from there and cover all 360 degrees of grass or crops with water as it moves back towards the base station where it starts again.x

Advantages of center pivot automation vs traditional manual irrigation
A center pivot is a large, rotating sprinkler system that creates a circular pattern of water droplets. Center pivots are automated and can run for hours at a time without any need for human intervention, while traditional manual irrigation systems rely on the owner to manually turn on and off each station depending on when they want their lawn watered. This makes traditional manual irrigation more labor intensive and time consuming to maintain.
Benefits to using center pivot automation for irrigation
A centre pivot irrigation system is the best way to reduce your water consumption area by as much as 50%. This can be done because it does not waste any of the water that goes through the sprinkler heads – it just recycles and sends out more concentrated streams of water onto one spot at a time. So instead of watering an entire field with large amounts of water, you can use less than half as much.
It’s basically like your lawn sprinkler on steroids. For many homeowners this type of irrigation has been proven to be more efficient than other systems because of its ability to provide even coverage across large areas at once, which can reduce watering time by up-to-80%.
