I SAVED 12K! DIY Irrigation System INSTALL & REVIEW

[@rickvaiBBB]

I spent 25 years doing irrigation from golf courses to suburban houses and I found your video to be the most sensible of the many I watched. I am not a big fan of the method of "smart controllers" or the drip and micro stuff due to its failure rate, especially in cold climates. And also, always used poly pipe, so much faster than glue. Great video.

[@HomeProHero]

Thx for watching! Interesting you suggested poly pipe for everything. I love working with the poly more and the glueing did suck but was concerned regarding the consistent water pressure on the main line. If I had to do it all over again I would have added a master valve at the water tie-in and ran poly everywhere. Smart controllers are so nice and mine adjusts its schedule off of 200 nearby weather points. Saves water when not needed. Take care

[@USMC-1]

DUDE! this is a life saver. I just got a quote for 11k to do my install and I literally just decided to do this myself. Thanks man.

[@HomeProHero]

Np! FYI rainbird now charges a small fee now but still very worth it! Just fired my system up! Thx for watching.

[@tdata545]

Did you say Menards? Depressing. I MISS THEM SO MUCH. Stopped by on the way back home from visiting my parents in Illinois after having left there 5 years ago. Now I'm stuck with Lowes and Home Depot. After not having been in one for 5 years, I was instantly reminded why they are by far the best home improvement store in the US, without competition.

[@HomeProHero]

I really do love menards. Not likely name brand but still good quality. I can't stand Home Depot but I do like lowes military discount! Take care

[@timbryant9869]

Coming from an irrigation contractor with 27 years experience, what you've done with your irrigation system, is much better than any other diy install I've seen. I am curious if Rain-Bird took into account the gpm of your pump from your well. One very important factor when doing a system where a private well is used, is that the zones are design in a way that when each zone is on, the well pump runs constantly. Otherwise you cause the pump to short cycle (the pump comes on and goes off while any zone is running) , which can significantly shorten the life of the pump and the pressure.

[@HomeProHero]

Thanks for watching and the comments! Not sure on that cycling of the pump. I know once water it turned off in the house the pump runs for a few more seconds before turning off - likely to repressurize the system maybe? I do have a constant flow well pump which does have the lag of water as the system uses pressure. I will watch it tonight and see if the pump continues to pump or shuts off and back on again. Rainbird never mention anything about the well pump. Thanks HPYH

[@mariannek6449]

How do you prevent short cycling and a separate irrigation line with higher psi separate from the house? My house is set at 60 psi. RAINBird stated we need 70-75 psi for irrigation. They stated that the increased pressure could cause damage to our home and we should have separate home and irrigation pressure lines. We do not know who to call for the norm with the suggested setup / advice on separate irrigation line for increased pressure and to inquire if it will need additional equipment like a separate tank. We are on a budget and want to do the project ourselves but it sounds like we may need a professional to break off from our main well water line for the separate irrigation /constant pressure line of 75 psi.

[@timbryant9869]

@HomeProHero it you have a VFD, also called a constant pressure system, you shouldn't have any issues. A VFD will only pump as much water as needed to maintain a pre determined PSI. So, your pressure tank is likely very small, probably between 2 and 5 gallons. The tank on your system is only needed since water can not be compressed, so you need the air bladder tank to initially turn the pump on and off.

[@timbryant9869]

@mariannek6449 pretty much all of the systems I've ever worked and installed have a working pressure of 30 to 50psi. Even from the Rain-Bird website, the optimal pressure for their 5004 pop-up rotors heads is only 45psi. You might want to verify 70-75psi, that high of pressure would just cause the heads to fog, instead of mimicking rain.

[@mariannek6449]

@@timbryant9869 I wrote down the wrong psi. We have a 119 gallon tank and our well water pressure gauge is set to 45 psi. Rainbird recommended 60-65 psi to get the water to the other side of our property. They designed the system at 15 gpm at 58.5 psi. We have 1.25 acres. This was their response: We can resume the design process now. Although we estimate that 60 PSI is sufficient, we will suggest 60-65 PSI in the design. Your concern makes sense. Please note that 60-65 PSI or even higher pressures do not represent an issue in residential applications. These pressures are common. Something that could actually pose a risk is attempting to run higher water flows. The recommended safe water flow for residential properties is 24 GPM through 1 ¼” PVC pipe, strongly suggested by the irrigation industry standards. The matter of concern is water velocity, it must be kept at 5 feet per second maximum. Higher velocities could be dangerous, risking damage to the system or even the user. Given the very large size of your property we estimate a considerable pressure loss, may be 10-15 PSI or greater. The rotors need 45 PSI at the head (after the pressure loss) to work efficiently. The zones will in fact work separately, but they will be connected to a same water source and the farthest valve group will get around 45-50 PSI after the system pressure loss through the pipe network. The TCEQ agency in your state requires a hydraulics calculation showing that you have sufficient pressure and some residual pressure in order to approve your irrigation permit. We do not understand what we need in order to fulfill the recommended water pressure requirements. Do we purchase a booster system with a separate well tank dedicated to the irrigation system?

Can you give me a little info about your well? I’m on city water…. It has become cost prohibitive to irrigate with. I going to attempt to hand dig a shallow well just to run my irrigation system. It currently is using rainbird water saver heads. I have six zones each spread too thin. My city water flow is only 4gal/min not sure of the pressure. It seems to be pretty low though. I’m guessing 25-30 psi.

[@HomeProHero]

That stinks! I have a really good well but it was installed by the pros and its 225ft deep. I get 20 gallons per minute and my psi is 70. Hope this helps can't believe ur city water pressure is so low! Take care

Awesome job! I installed my own system also and saved tons of monies. I currently run mine off a 1 1/5 hp pump fed from my pond, but I am looking at running it off my well as well🤣. Did you upgrade your well pump and have you had any issues with the pump burning out from so much continues use?

[@HomeProHero]

Thx for watching! My well is fairly new about 5yrs old. I knew I wanted irrigation so they installed a 1.5 horse at 210ft deep. No issues other than is a constant flow so the little 7 gallon pressure tank failed but was covered under warranty. Well people did like me having the system tied in because they carry the warranty but can do anything about it :) Pump is good because when my system turns on it normally runs for an hour or two straight. I guess a well turning and off is worse than just running. No regrets for sure and I have now tied in 13 flower baskets - love that! Take care

[@shanejordre3789]

i like the video, how many total heads did you use. Im thinking of redoing mine, totally changed the yard from what the previous owner had, it works but i want more zones. rainbird did my design and i think its up to 45 heads, im thinking of using all flexible pipe from orbit, 1inch flexible from orbit and smaller to all the heads, lots of digging with a trencher. i have learned that smaller zones will work better because different soil and different amounts of sun. my yard is about 1acre

[@HomeProHero]

Thanks for watching! I think I was right around 40 heads or so. My biggest zone is 6 heads. When rainbird designed my system they had like 100 heads and 16 zones - i thought that was overkill. The flex pipe is great when you tie them into the heads. I just put out another sprinkler video that shows me creating a new zone - might be helpful! I tell you one thing the drip irrigation to the hanging pots is incredible!!!!!!! Take care! HPH

[@kr5289]

Why could you not run the main water line to one central location for all the valves for zones to run out from there instead of placing values in different locations. I want to do this, but it can be a little overwhelming. Thanks

[@HomeProHero]

I totally get how overwhelming it can feel! The reason I didn't run the main water line to a single central location is that my yard is pretty big, and this approach helped me avoid running excessive amounts of pipe. Instead, I ran one main line to four strategically placed valve boxes, with 3 to 4 lines branching off each. This saved on piping and allowed me to manage the layout more efficiently. Each of my valve boxes holds a maximum of 4 valves, and with 12 zones in total, this setup ensures each sprinkler head gets the right water pressure. While it may seem complex, breaking it down into smaller sections made it much more manageable-and it was actually a lot of fun to figure out! Hope this helps and good luck with your project

[@kr5289]

@HomeProHero yes makes sense you

[@KrisGorr]

Great video, and I'm doing this year. I'm redoing all the topsoil so I think it would be perfect to do prior so it will water the seed for me. I was thinking of using Wirsbo or Pex that I have left over from my build for the runs. What's your thoughts or anyone else for that matter. I have the Milwaukee wirsbo expander as well. Won't burst and joints are better than crimp style. Lmk thank you

[@HomeProHero]

Heck if you have it laying around the house I would use it! Its a higher quality can't go wrong with that! I love my system can't wait to fire it up this spring - the drip on the flower pots is a must!!!!! Thanks for watching.

[@dnglynn]

Did you run the PVC pipe To the valve the. Poly pipe to the sprinkler heads? Drawing my yard up at the moment.

[@HomeProHero]

Yep sure did! Pvc pipe was my main supply to all valve boxes to inside the house. Poly from the boxes to the sprinklers. Good luck!

[@JuanPerez-vw6kh]

Looks great! Going to do the same to my home. Do I need to get a permit and also can I do it myself or do I need to get a licensed plumber to run the pcv lines to the main water source?

[@HomeProHero]

Thanks for watching! While it's not likely that you'll need a permit for a home irrigation system, I recommend reaching out to your local authorities to confirm. Regulations can vary by location, and it's always better to be sure. Many municipalities offer a simple phone call or an online check, and it's often free to inquire about permit requirements. If you have the knowledge and confidence to tackle the installation yourself, it can be a rewarding DIY project. However, if you're uncertain or unfamiliar with plumbing work, it's wise to consider consulting a licensed plumber. Regardless before digging for any irrigation lines, make sure to call your local utility companies to have them mark the locations of underground utilities. Thx HPH

[@johnleeway7782]

Hey man, you said Rain Bird gave you that layout for free? How did you do that? They want to charge on their web site AND wait 6-8 weeks to get it. We'll be into Winter if I wait 8 weeks!! . Also, I heard you mention Indiana winters being brutal....I agree, I'm in Indianapolis. My research told me to only use poly in freezing climates. Any particular reason you chose PVC?

[@HomeProHero]

Thx 4 watching! I did my system last year and wasn't aware they are now charging for the design until after this video. Other viewers expressed the same thing. Regardless it's a great asset. You don't have to use it as long as you figure out water flow for your zones - lots of videos on here to learn that. Regarding the PVC it's recommended for the supply lines (the lines under constant water pressure) to be pvc. Poly pipe connections aren't as strong as pvc and glue. In Indiana you have to blow your system out in the fall so there is no chance of the pvc freezing and breaking. Hope this helps.

Building the inground sprinkler system was an exciting project, but I must admit that the digging process was quite challenging, especially since I did it during the hot months of July and August. Moving the dirt back into the trenches after the digging was even more difficult due to the rain, which made the soil super heavy! On the positive side, working on the pipe and engineering aspects of the project was relatively easy and enjoyable. It was my first time installing an inground sprinkler system, and I can't believe how I managed without one before! The convenience of having a drip irrigation system for my hanging flower baskets has been a game-changer. I highly recommend anyone who's considering installing an inground sprinkler system to go for it! It might be challenging at times, but the benefits and convenience it brings are absolutely worth the effort. Take Care
