What to record
Identify the court town, surface, known irrigation type, number and location of affected areas, recent operating changes, and when the behavior is most noticeable. If the system type is unknown, say so.
How the HydroCourt system is organized
Har-Tru describes HydroCourt as six independently controlled cells, each associated with a water-filled control box. Changing a control-box level changes moisture within that cell, so the most useful first record includes current levels, recent adjustments, weather, and the location of the wet or dry pattern.
System-specific maintenance and winterization should follow the manufacturer’s current procedure. Avoid changing several variables at once when the goal is to understand an uneven condition.
Photograph patterns, not just details
Include full-court views, the transition between wet and dry areas, and relevant system access points. Detail images alone can hide the larger moisture pattern.
Avoid a remote diagnosis
The same surface symptom can have more than one contributing cause. Photos and notes improve triage, but final scope should follow an appropriate review of the court and system.
