Abstract
A multipurpose fluid distribution system including a network of fluid distribution heads associated with a landscape. Also included is a water supply feeding the network of fluid distribution heads. The fluid distribution heads may be typical irrigation or sprinkler heads or specialized heads useful for reaching portions of the outside of a structure or landscape which are not typically irrigated such as the roofs of buildings. Also included in the multipurpose fluid distribution system is a series of distribution valves operatively disposed between the water supply and the network of fluid distribution heads. The system can be controlled with a control unit associated with the distribution valves which is configured to automatically open select distribution valves or open select distribution valves according to manual input. The control unit is configured to open certain valves under predetermined conditions or upon a select schedule for the routine irrigation of the landscape with water from the water supply. In addition, the control unit is configured to open select distribution valves for the nonroutine application of water to the landscape in the event a humidity sensor or fire sensor associated with the control unit detects an approaching wildland fire.
