I absolutely love your video. I'm the one who always seems to be the one to repair our broken sprinklers lol , so with that being said I've been wanting to come up with a simple solution for weed control in our front yard. We have a few nice trees surrounded by lots of dirt. I have purchased ground cover and I'm ready for my new project. I have a good tip that I do to clear the line of any dirt etc. After I remove the broken sprinkler I turn on the system to clear the pipes then I know the sprinklers aren't clogged of dirt and disperse water efficiency.

I would have personally sealed each of those threads with plumber tape just to make sure. Good job girl.

[@mostly_ignored536]

Exactly what I had in mind thanks.

It’s easier to turn on valve when you have the riser on then quickly turn off to clear any debris

[@lisawalters5482]

Very helpful. Thank you. 👏🏻

Couple of questions: 1.) It didn't seem like you installed a pressure regulator. Isn't the pressure used for a regular sprinkler system much stronger than the pressure for a drip system? 2.) When you took off the original pop up spray head, some dirt may have gotten into the tube, is there a filter to keep the dirt out of the drip?

+Haley Knows how easy was it to go with option 2? do you have a video you can point me to that instructs you how to do it

[@LadyGoza]

Did you not need teflon tape?

Thank you.

I didn't find that u shape needle under "long stapler", maybe it has another name? 🤔

[@enufots4621]

When you convert that one sprinkler riser (obviously the sprinkler head is removed) do you have to cap off all the other sprinklers heads that are in the same zone? Do these manifolds have a built in pressure regulator? Also, with this 4 port manifold (which looks like it uses 1/4" tubing and not 1/2")...aren't you limited to only 4 plants near this manifold & since it uses 1/4" tubing...isn't there a limit to the maximum length of the tubing? Thanks!

You should run the system before putting manifold on otherwise now you've got a but of dirt stuck in the pipe going clog it up

[@lindalauren6532]

I wonder if you had problems with that manifold you installed. You didn't run clean water through the riser before you installed it and there was visible dirty water prior to adding the riser. That was a kind of a sloppy installation.

[@avpowerstn1]

The manifold is broken isn't it...? (6 yrs later)

[@huero8184]

Its not called a manifold. Its a drip adapter. And if you eliminate several sprinklers you’ll probably have that snapping off constantly. Pressure regulator on the valve is required as it lowers the psi to 35-25 pounds

[@robert5c]

Except it does function as a manifold would function and the manufacturer calls it a manifold themselves. Even other brands call it a manifold for similar products. Let's just go with manifold.

[@jzizzles7799]

@@robert5c Do we need to install a filter with this or is there a built in filter?

[@christ2551]

First it is universally called a manifold. Second, the manifold has a built-in water pressure regulator. So this lady knows exactly what she is doing and what she is saying.

[@itmsjim]

@@christ2551 Not exactly. Most (almost all) landscapers would have flushed the line before installing the drip manifold. When removing old sprinkler heads, etc, dirt and debris may go in the line. If she did before recording the video, she didn't say so. And it's better to do so with the riser on to avoid back flow.
