Managing and Optimizing Flow
The BaseStation 6000 software has powerful features that enable you to control how much water flows through the piping
structure of your irrigation system.
There are three levels of flow management, each providing a higher level of control than the previous:
• Flow management by Remote Base Unit zones
• Flow management by program zones
• Flow management by flow nodes
Note: Other system parameters controlling zone activation such as total number of active zones for the system, the Remote
Base Unit, or the program might limit the flow before the total target flow for a zone is achieved.
Enabling Flow Management
In order to take advantage of flow management, you must enable it in the BaseStation 6000 software.
1. On the Main Page of the BaseStation 6000 software, click the Information tab to activate the Main Menu.
2. On the Main Menu, click Flow, and then click Config Flow Control. The Set System Parameters window opens.
3. Click the Flow Node Management tab.
