Acceptance of these terms
These terms apply to your use of irrigationcalculators.com (the "site"), operated by Irrigation Calculators ("we", "us"). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
Calculator results are estimates
Our calculators and reference charts are provided for general information and planning. Results are estimates based on the values you enter, the assumptions shown on each page, and published methods and data. Actual conditions such as weather, soil, equipment performance, water pressure and plant needs vary, so real-world results can differ.
The site does not provide professional engineering, design, agronomic, legal or other professional advice, and using it doesn't create a professional relationship. For site-specific designs, large or commercial systems, or decisions with significant cost or safety implications, consult a qualified professional.
Your responsibilities
When you use the site, you agree that you're responsible for:
- the accuracy of the values you enter and how you use the results;
- checking results before relying on them, especially for purchases, installation or design;
- following local watering restrictions, plumbing and backflow codes, landscape ordinances and permit requirements;
- following product labels, manufacturer instructions and safety requirements, which always take priority over any calculated amount. This is especially important for fertilizers, chlorine, acids and other chemicals.
Accuracy and availability
We work hard to keep our content accurate, as described in our methodology and editorial policy. However, we can't guarantee that every page is complete, current or free of errors. We may change, update or remove calculators and content at any time, and the site may occasionally be unavailable.
If you find an error, please let us know.
No warranty
The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or its content. This includes losses related to water use, crop or landscape damage, equipment, property damage, or decisions made based on calculator results.
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations of liability, so some of these limits may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have that can't be limited by law.
Acceptable use
You may use the site and its calculators freely for personal and professional purposes, including using and sharing your results. You agree not to:
