How to turn on your school irrigation system...

Okay, so it's the last day of school and you guys want to have some fun in the sun! I will show you how to turn on the irrigation system in the south-east side of the quad (where the old science buildings use to be). Do not do anything stupid with this information (wink wink) I am only putting this up here so you have greater knowledge of your school, I take no responsibility for your actions. Okay here we go!

Step 1 Find out where you are...

Find out where you are at Paly. This picture has been taken at the student center looking over the quad. Let's call the left patch of grass "Side A" the other will be called "Side B".

I worked for an irrigation company, and we serviced this one HUGE townhouse copmlex and they screwed the valve covers down so you cant open them. A few years ago me and my friends thought it would be good to do this at our city gov. building. We turned it on for about 10 seconds, twisted it and ran away as fast as we could.

 To really turn it on, whisper sweet nothings into it's ear, and take it on a fancy night out.

YES IT WATES WATER BUT IF YOU SPRINKLE YOUR WORST TEACHER THEN THE WORLD WILL FOREGIVE YOU thx 4 this instructable

Is there any way to do this remotely?

[mrmarshall1]

yes, you splice into the electronic silonoid put a battery and a radio tranciver into the box and when you hit the button the sprinklers turn on.

Nice :) my school has a big field and i have seen many off these green boxes ... but there are bee nests in them :/ soo it would b pretty hard to turn it on.... lol would be a great school joke :D

[bwpatton1]

Bees?? I would think they would not like the sound the water makes in the pipes and the solonoid valve noises.........

[isai13]

Well.... idk but the nests are on the cover of the boxes sooo maybe i could try :D

i wish my school could afford an irrigation system...

[Derin]

me too...they wash with hoses

Just a warning - some sprinkler systems like this (especially in dry climates) use minimally treated effluent water. So you may want to check before you go frolicking in just any sprinklers.

Funny! I'm always doing this in my backyard! TGT

better yet, hook 3, 9-volts together, wire them in to those wires coming out of the solinoid, and set up some sort of wireless trigger.

[benjgvps]

Good idea. you might be able to hook a walkie talkie speaker to the wires and crank the volume or use the guts of an rc car. he he he
