Outdoor Ring Watering |
Riding Center Outdoor Ring Watering Program

The outdoor ring is watered using an automated underground sprinkler system.  The ring is watered before outdoor arena maintenance.  Please feel free to water the ring as needed throughout the day.  Please warn other riders before running the system.

There are 7 sprinkler heads.  The system runs one sprinkler head at a time. 

  1. Begin from the RAIN-OFF position.  This resets the system.  If the dial is already set to RAIN-OFF when you open the controller box go to step 2, otherwise turn the dial to RAIN-OFF.
     
  2. Select the amount of time to water (3 minutes is the usual selection):
  • A: 3 minutes or 21 minutes total
  • B: 4 minutes or 28 minutes total
  • C: 2 minutes or 14 minutes total
  • D: 1 minutes or 7 minutes total
  1. Turn the dial to MANUAL PROGRAM CYCLE
     
  2. Press the ON button

If you have a problem you may press the OFF button at any time.

Press the NEXT button to manually move to the next sprinkler.

Caution: Do not over water.

If you have any problem with the system, please notify Rosemary Nero at the Barrington Countryside Park District office at (847)783-6772.
