Testing water flow and pressure for a new lawn irrigation system

Woodzy W Hahahaha such a classic Aussie movie 🎥 🤘

[@andrewkymantas3877]

Awsome info once again bud That couch is looking awesome for winter 👌👌👌

[@theaussielawn]

Andrew Kymantas yeah I’m really impressed with it tbh . Hopefully next year though I can return to the winter rye oversow

[@andrewkymantas3877]

The Aussie Lawn looking forward to that

[@Mr_Mumble_PSN]

so glad i found this thank you

[@theaussielawn]

No worries mate

[@LawnTips]

That’s not even a frost ya sook. Awesome vid my bro

[@theaussielawn]

Lawn Tips I’m glad that’s a frost in my book 😝 imagine living in orange only one day of summer a year 🤣

[@LawnTips]

The Aussie Lawn I love it boi!

[@theaussielawn]

Lawn Tips pfft hearsay

[@lcoombe]

@@LawnTips Brenton and Ben doing a video together would be awesome :) :)

[@theaussielawn]

It’s actually going to happen later this year mate covid19 permitting

[@gb6997]

Hi Brenton, great video and perfect timing, really appreciate it.

[@theaussielawn]

Thanks mate hope it helps 😊

[@donslawns1]

Nice work, and great way to measure the pressure!

[@theaussielawn]

Don’s Lawns thanks Don🤘 did u survive the hurricane ok?

[@donslawns1]

The Aussie Lawn yessir, it wasn’t too bad at my house! People on further south took it a little harder, but Hanna was a gentle storm compared to others.

[@richardportelli1983]

Man that is crazy good water pressure! Here in sydney I get no more than 50psi out of my taps and about 20 to 25 litres per minute only.

[@theaussielawn]

Wow that’s not very good . Poor bugger I’d struggle to cope with that pressure I feel for you

[@thegreenandgoldlife1464]

Get them broad leaf's mate. Sick em boi

[@theaussielawn]

The Green and Gold Life hahahah 🤘

[@paulthomas3782]

Hi Brenton loving your content very informative. I too have Rye grass coming up have no idea were it has come from though.

[@theaussielawn]

Paul Thomas thanks mate it’s awesome to have you along for the ride. Mine would be from seasons gone by but yeah often a seed or 10 can lay dormant and one day decide to germinate 😫 ist more of a pain in short cut couch in winter haha cause they stick out

[@wstt4]

When you turned the valve on the pressure gauge went to zero. What is more important to know for irrigation, the static water pressure or dynamic water pressure?

[@caveman5831]

Sweet, cheers mate coz i need to work out how many sprinklers to put in my tiny back yard very soon and this info should help.. i also need to work out how many heads ill need and the distances to put them at with out getting dry spots..

[@theaussielawn]

Caveman awesome mate good luck with the irrigation project

[@danielpritchard5248]

Just a curious observation/question. When you are doing flow rate, wouldn't you adjust ball valve to optimum operating pressure of your chosen device heads/nozzles. For example lawn popup nozzles around 280kpa, then while that is maintained on the pressure gauge, time how long you fill your bucket?

[@theaussielawn]

The test here is to measure maximum flow rate the ball valve allows the water to start flowing at maximum available rate to give the most accurate reading on the stopwatch as possible.

[@ashleydonovan3087]

Essentially don't need the pressure gauge or any of that then, as it doesn't seem necessary. Just a bucket under the tap. I was then told to take 30% off that to get the lpm to design your retic off. But, I was taught to do the bucket test with the pressure set at optimum pressure and then just take 10% off that. 🤷

[@brendan7112]

Great video. Hope to see the install. How much was it worth for the test gauge and valve set up?

[@theaussielawn]

Yeah mate the video will be coming in spring time . The most expensive bit was the valve and pressure gauge. The rest I had laying around at home. So $20 for pressure gauge and bout that for the ball ball valve .

[@-What-are-your-thoughts]

Is that a bunker next to your green ? Great vid !

[@theaussielawn]

G'day Ron, Thanks mate no I don't have a bunker near the green, There is a water drain next to it maybe thats what saw?

[@jaybreen8794]

Great video! Quick question, wanting to put irrigation in aswell as concrete down the side of the house, would it be fine concreting over the lines running to the front etc

[@theaussielawn]

Jay Breen yeah mate I have lines under concrete, just try to avoid joins or fittings underneath the concrete because if one fails you won’t be able to reach it 🤘

[@Earthau]

How many lpm did you get out of that tap at home Brenton? I just went and remeasured mine and I am only getting 12.5lpm.

[@theaussielawn]

I’m having a mental blank atm I wanna say 11 🤔 #oldage 🤣

[@samuelasamoah6906]

Hi brenton, i think it would have been better to provide a link to all the devices you used in the video.

[@theaussielawn]

Hi Samuel thanks for tuning in. Do yo mean in regards to the pressure tester? I actually built it up from the ground with 19mm irrigation fittings its not actually sold as a "kit" so to speak. Is that what you mean or have I missed something else?

[@samuelasamoah6906]

@@theaussielawn OK that's it thanks

[@theaussielawn]

Samuel Asamoah no worries mate hope your having a good weekend 🤘

[@v8soarer1991]

@ 5:00 Attach the what to the tap. HAHA funny

Do you like my hurdy-gurdy ? 🤣

How do you live with that hectic traffic mate! Hahaha

It’s not easy I tell ya. Some days it’s unbearable 😝
