Hydraulic basis
Ask for nozzle flow and pressure tables with the proposed spacing and the water-source assumptions stated.
Evidence to request
A quote should answer these checks
Model documents
Match drawing revisions, materials and maintenance instructions to the exact system or sprinkler head offered.
Commercial scope
Separate equipment, filtration, freight, duties and installation responsibilities before comparing the order total.
Start with the field, then compare components
Describe the water
Provide source type, available flow in gpm or m³/h, operating pressure in psi or bar and any water-quality analysis. Static pressure alone does not describe pressure while irrigating.
Define the wetted area
Record field dimensions, crop spacing, elevation changes and the operating zones. Wind exposure and soil infiltration belong in the brief, not in an assumed coverage promise.
Draw the package boundary
Identify whether pumps, filters, fertigation, valves, pipework and controls are included. Keep exclusions visible when a supplier proposes an alternative arrangement.
Plan the receiving task
State quantity, US destination and seasonal target date; ask about packing, spare nozzles, installation instructions and commissioning support.
Match the request to your destination
ZIP code or city helps frame freight and support questions. It does not establish local inventory or an existing dealer network. Submit the full requirement so delivery responsibilities can be reviewed with the supplier.
Different crops need different questions
Scroll through application briefs, then review the irrigation selection considerations.
Field crops
Compare zone area, center pivot span clearance where relevant, inlet flow and service access.
Orchards
Check under-canopy clearance, tree spacing, filtration and the intended wetting pattern.
Vegetables
Describe bed geometry and whether leaf wetting or drip irrigation emitter placement affects the project.
Nurseries
Record container spacing, pressure regulation and how zones change as stock moves.
A useful brief travels with every quote
Put the sprinkler scope in writing
Send a specification before choosing a supplier. We organize the request for factory matching and comparison; the exact configuration, supply availability and lead time remain subject to confirmation.
- One written flow and pressure basis
- Clearly separated installation and shipping costs
- Optional budget and supplier preferences
