  I’ve also done some work on my irrigation system. Which involved turning on the tap to see what happened and spraying myself with water by mistake. I appears there are pop-up sprinklers in the front lawn that are a bit hard to see in amoungst all the grass, and now I just need to work out how to operate the timer.

    best way to test them: turn 'em on and see what gets wet

  Ooh what did you end up doing?

  Always in the market for irrigation porn.

    I had an existing irrigatia c60 I’ve just today - wanted to get in before the rain so I could refill the final tank - mounted it on a 630l tank system (which is itself topped up by a 2500l system, see here) and run some 13 ml to weepers looped around the two main apple and pear trees. Still gotta conduit and trench it, but it’s powering all of them strongly.

        par for the course there’s a tiiiiny drip leak on link to the tap that only shows up when they start hitting 75% capacity. Before the shutoff and past the barrel union. Of course. (every other tank has a shutoff and barrel union so I can take any tank out I like and keep going, but of course the last one just goes straight into the shutoff connected to the pump. So I’ll have to drain the little shit before re-taping the threads. When I can be arsed.)
