I like this set up. Good pressure at the end of the line.

Thank you! I've actually ran all 3 stations at once a few times and it's a little slow at first but it ends up putting the same amount of pressure to all of them as it would just one.

Great video my friend and just when I am designing my own system. Some questions and comments if I may. 1. Have you tried 3/4 inch instead of 1/2 inch for the main lines? 2. Since you have 3 active faucets, are you using a 1/2 inch line for each of your 3 stations? 3. Roughly how many trees are you covering with each 1/2 inch line? 4. Word of advice - spraying the foliage all the time may lead to fungus. Try to direct the spray towards the soil as much as possible. 5. You are not using a back flow preventer in the spigot? Loved your setup and will share my design when I am done. Cheers, Deep

@@deepanjanbanerjee3491 thank you! 1. I don't believe I have, but I'm sure if I needed more flow that would be the way to do it. 2. Yes. Each station has the 1/2 line feeding out to the trees with the 1/2 spray nozzles coming off of it. 3. Good question!? If I had to guess, probably 25-40ish per station? For what it's worth, I have turned on all 3 stations at once a few times and it's a little slow to build up pressure, (maybe 30 seconds or so), but ends up doing just as well as 1 station would. 4. Yeah, I have heard that and I think last year my elms might have been effected by it, (they were effected by something, not 100% sure what). I try to aim for the soil as much as possible but it's tricky to pull off. 5. Nope, not familiar with it actually? I'll do some googling and see if it's needed in my case or not. Thanks for the comments!

Very helpful! A problem I have is that on a hot day the water sitting in the hose gets very hot. Is there a way to purge the hot water from the lines before watering, so that the plants get cooler water?

@BonsaiBoise 2 ай бұрын

@@mattygroves Funny you mention that because I've noticed the same thing. I just let it happen now. It gets cold after about 30 seconds or so, (at least on mine, a longer hose might take longer).

@HoundStuff 2 ай бұрын

I've seen that, too. I'm not aware of any easy way to purge it without more automation or tools. Seems like most folks just set the timer to water before it heats up or after it cools down naturally. Don't want the hot water to scald any roots though!
