Orbit 26251 B-hyve Sprinkler Catch Cups/Cans 12-Pack

The B-hyve sprinkler catch cups/cans are engineered to accurately sample the rate at which sprinkler heads distribute water, as well as the uniformity of water distribution. Significant variations can exist in the water application rate between different sprinkler manufacturers, and the system design can accentuate these differences. A catch cup test can provide an accurate average precipitation rate, assisting in scheduling and identifying areas within a sprinkler zone that are receiving too little or too much water.

The wateringschedule.com web app allows users to input catch cup levels, automatically calculate the precipitation rate and uniformity for each zone, and create an efficient watering schedule. Users can also directly input the cup data into the B-hyve app associated with each B-hyve controller. Each catch cup pack comes with 12 catch cups and 12 stakes for holding the cups. Each reusable catch cup has measurement markings in both milliliters (mL) and inches (In). For larger zones, additional cups can be ordered to enhance the accuracy of results.

It is important to note that in cases where sprinklers from multiple sprinkler zones hit a watered area, it is necessary to run each of those zones for the same amount of time to obtain an accurate precipitation rate for that area. More instructions can be found in the user manual. The B-hyve sprinkler catch cups/cans are compatible with controllers from Orbit, Hydro-Rain, and other major brands, and are intended for outdoor irrigation use with cold water.

The B-hyve sprinkler catch cups/cans address one of the biggest barriers to setting correct smart sprinkler schedules by accurately sampling the rate at which sprinklers apply water to the landscape, and identifying spots in the landscape that are receiving too little or too much water. The included 12 clear catch cups and 12 orange stakes with rings provide the necessary tools to conduct the catch cup test, with the cups featuring measurement markings in both milliliters (mL) and inches (In).

The wateringschedule.com web app and the B-hyve app work together to utilize the data collected from the catch cup test, allowing users to create an optimized watering schedule. The B-hyve app enables users to input the catch cup levels directly, and the app then generates a smart schedule based on the data. The B-hyve sprinkler catch cups/cans are compatible with controllers from Orbit, Hydro-Rain, and other major brands, ensuring their versatility and compatibility with a wide range of irrigation systems.
