| Abstract/Contents: | Compares two types of irrigation pipes, polyvinylchloride (PVC) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Details one irrigation consultants opinions on each pipe, noting the different ways one performs better than the other, and that in order to compare them fairly the situation has to be "apples to apples" which is not always the case. Includes pressure ratings, climate performance, flexibility, thickness, costs, and velocity as different factors in comparing the pipes. Highlights two men, a director of golf course operations and a president of a golf management company, who both installed HDPE for their irrigation systems. Suggests each course is different and certain pipe attributes may work better for one course than another. |
