lawn irrigation combined with drip irrigation
Comments (15)AM, Yes most controllers are not as flexible as you would like. The more money the more flexibility. I am not even aware of a 6 program controller. Someone may know. What was the old one that you used? I just need to gather more information from you to make an informed suggestion. I need to know your flow rate of your water source. Is your system off a outdoor house faucet or the mainline from your house before your house pressure regulator? If a hose faucet, then fill a five-gallon bucket and time how long to fill. Give us the time to fill 5-gallons. Next is the drip ones, how long or how many and what spacing and the type of drip lines or emitters? How many sprinklers and what Brand/type for each zone? What I am looking for is flow rates of drip tape or emitters to calculate the water demand for each zone. This is like a design in reverse which is a water audit. If you don't have all the info give me as much as you can. Finally, what is your water pressure? Buy an inexpensive pressure gauge that fits on your faucet from hardware store. When I can tell what zone uses what amount of what, then you can tell what zones can run simultaneously and the ones that need extra time can be at a later time and duration. You might try buying another Controller and hook three zone to one and 3 zone to another for the 6 programs you need. JMHO Aloha...See MoreShut-off Valve at Each Irrigation Head?
Comments (6)Here's my plan - all the parts. I will use a 12" riser because 1) the heads were buried pretty deep and, 2) I need the new shut-off valve to end up above ground: Here's a closeup of the bottom connection. The tee at the supply line is a 3/4" male connection: Here's a closeup of the shut-off valve connection. Shut-off valves are $3.17 each at Lowes. What a bargain!: Will this work like I hope? Thanks!

Comments (7)Thanks lehua13, I wasn't getting much action on the forum earlier in the week so I spent a few days researching and designing and jumped right in. For some background, I'm building raised beds in the front yard, re-purposing cinder-blocks that need to be removed from another part of the property. New 3/4" supply with shut-off. I left it pretty long and added a disconnect for future construction plans Manifold/Valve assembly. I've got one valve feeding potted plants on the future deck, the second feeding (2) 4 x 16 boxes and the third feeding (2) 8 x 6 and (1) 6 x 22 raised bed box. Multiple 1/2" risers coming off the 3/4" supply into each box depending on size. Not sure what types of emmitters we'll use at this point, but need to get the infrastructure down before moving forward with weed barrier and base material. How'd I do?:)...See MoreTaco Circ p/p with 3 zone valves
Comments (19)"What the hell, I post and then they start new topic ,oh well!!" Tommy23, I was waiting for you to get back to me about what particular Honeywell valve you had so in the mean time baymee and I started talking to keep the thread alive. Without the info I asked I can't help you except for a guess and I really don't like just guessing. Like I mentioned earlier, Honeywell makes several different valves....See Morelehua49
