Underground Installation Instructions
The following instructions have been tested internally, but are still undergoing external testing with customers for feedback and are subject to change without notice.
Underground installation times can vary based on irrigation setup. While underground installation times can average 2 hours, we recommend 3.5 hours for adequate time.
