Great Lakes Expo

Now that the outdoor irrigation season has wrapped up, and the greenhouse season has begun, I thought that I would take this opportunity to let you all know that Auto Control will be exhibiting at the 2010 Great Lakes Expo in December at the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids MI.  Need details on the Expo, check out http://www.glexpo.com/

Proper winterization of your pump station

The best way to insure a smooth start-up of your irrigation pumps in the spring is to winterize them properly.

• Be sure to drain water from ALL of the piping and pump components.
• Verify that your tank has the proper pressure in it.
• Drain your suction line, if applicable.
• Verify that you have good, consistent incoming power.
• Remove your pressure transducer to prevent freezing.
• If you have a Cla-Valve (or similar) crack the top portion of the valve off from the base.
• Make a list of anything that needs repairing, so that you can budget these repairs before spring arrives.
• Any questions, call us at 616-532-6100.  We can help!

WATER RECYCLING IS A GREEN PROJECT WITH AUTO CONTROL

The summer of 2010 was a busy summer for Auto Control!  We were very exited to be a part of a large project that utilizes water recycling on Lake Macatawa.  During this process, water is collected in an underground tank
and a pump pushes the water from the tank into the irrigation system.  On this project, geothermal water was collected and then recycled to irrigate the grounds of the property.  Auto Control is proud to be a green company that loves to save energy and recycle our natural resources! 

24/7 SERVICE KEEPS MICHIGAN GREEN!

What happens if your irrigation stops working in the middle of your busy season?  Auto Control solved this problem for Milham Park in Kalamazoo on a holiday weekend!  Auto Control provided a diesel pump to move the water until the custom designed pump was built and installed.  We also provided a new electrical service.  This was truly a turnkey operation providing the customer exactly what was needed by our staff of engineers and electricians.  LET US HELP YOU!
