RETICULATION PLANNER · FOR AUSTRALIAN YARDS
Reticulation, worked out properly.
Draw your lawn on your own lot. Retisynq places every sprinkler head to head, sizes the zones to what your tap gives, picks the nozzles and the pipe, and checks the pressure at the furthest head, before anyone digs a trench.

YOUR LOT
Boundaries from state open data, and a careful estimate in WA, SA and the NT.
THE NOZZLES
From Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro and Holman’s own published charts.

Zones sized to what your tap gives; pressure checked at the furthest head.
YOUR AREA
Watering days and hours under your local rules.
YOUR CLIMATE
A program month by month from five years of SILO climate data.
ABOVE THE LAWN, AND UNDER IT
Every sprinkler placed. Every pipe sized.
Most of a reticulation system is out of sight. Lift the lawn to see what the planner works out underneath, zone by zone.
- 1Pop-up sprinklers at the corners and along the edges, each throwing to its neighbours, so every patch gets water from more than one.
- 2Arcs and throws set to keep the water off the house, the paving and the fence.
- 3Zones sized to what your tap gives, each with its own colour and run time.
- 4Pipe sized for the flow, with every trench leg measured.
- 5The valve box where the trenches come out shortest, and a backflow device at the tap.
- 6Drip line for the garden beds, run to the bed’s own pressure.
The real planner, not a mock-up.
Every clip here was recorded in Retisynq, on a real Perth lot, the way you would use it.
WHAT IT WEIGHS UP
Eleven spacings from 2.5 to 9 metres, each worked through nozzles, zones, pipe and pressure.
It keeps the design that waters all of the lawn for the least: fewest checks failing, then fewest sprinklers and zones, with evenness and water past the edges weighed in.
FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YARD ABOVE
Zones you can follow
Pick a zone and the rest fade: its sprinklers, its flow, its minutes for 10 mm.
Every trench leg measured
Dig to the numbers on the plan, not to a guess with a string line.
A report a plumber can follow
Nozzle by nozzle, pipe sizes, pressure at each zone, the parts list, the program and why.
Three steps, one evening.
Find your address
Your lot and house come up on the plan, from the state’s own records where it publishes them.
Draw the lawn, mark the tap
Click its corners. Add garden beds, paths and trees. A bucket and a stopwatch at the tap make the pressure checks yours.
See the layout, then buy the report
The sprinklers, sprays and pipe routes are free to see. The report holds the nozzles, sizes, checks and parts.

Retisynq is a design aid worked out from the makers’ published charts and the readings you give it. It is not a certified irrigation design, and the backflow device at your tap is for a licensed plumber to choose. See the terms.
FOR INSTALLERS AND LANDSCAPERS
Quote the job before you drive out.
Draw the client’s yard from the address, choose the brand you stock, and take a parts list and trench lengths to the quote. Trade accounts with your own branding are on the way.

Fair questions.
Is this a certified irrigation design?
No. It is a design worked out from the makers’ published charts, your lot and the readings you give it, with every assumption written down. A licensed plumber fits and chooses the backflow device at the tap, and you check for services with Before You Dig Australia before you dig.
Which brands does it design with?
Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro and Holman, from each maker’s own charts, or a generic layout if you would rather not pick one yet. Garden beds go on inline drip.
Where does my lot come from?
From the state’s open property data in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, the ACT and Tasmania. In WA, SA and the NT it is estimated from the national address file and the streets around it, and you can drag its corners to match your fences.
Do I need to measure my water pressure?
You can start without it. The design uses typical figures and says so. A bucket and a stopwatch at the tap, and a pressure gauge if you have one, turn those assumptions into your own numbers.
Does it follow my area’s watering rules?
Where an authority sets watering days or hours, the program uses them: WA’s roster days by house number, and the time windows in Sydney, Victoria and Canberra, among others.
What does a report purchase cover?
That design on that lot, with your later edits to it included. A copy of the design, or the same design moved to another address, is a new purchase. You get a tax invoice and a receipt from Stripe, who handle the card payment.
