Hello, I am about to have a landscaping company install drip irrigation. I just read that drip irrigation should not be used if there is sediment in the well water. Is this accurate. I do have problems with my ice maker and the filter due to the segment. Any insight would be appreciated.
1/2 in mainline tubing running from a water timer to my raised bed thats alongside fence, 180 degree microspray emitters installed every 2 feet inline directly into the 1/2in tubing(i know this is not how you are supposed to do it but hey it works)
Hello! I want to set up drip irrigation for my front yard, but the nozzle is in a pretty inconvenient place right at the front door. Is it possible to set up drip without creating a tripping hazard? Hoping to have the timer and everything attached ideally.
Does anyone know if there is a way to use a hose timer on a hose bib that has an anti siphon sillcock?
I spent a bunch of time putting together an irrigation system I have hooked to a hose timer and when I turn my hose on with the timer it leaks all over the place in the wall cause of the anti siphon thing. Really sucks. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.
I have a raised garden bed and am planning on purchasing a kit from Dripdepot. I sat down to plan the garden system out and came up with these three designs. I would love to get any and all input on what might work best. The plants are peppers, tomatoes, peas, and potatoes.
Hello! Having constant problems with my lines popping off the nozzle. I have a municipal spigot at 70 PSI, travels 100FT to a mainline with a 25 PSI regulator. I then run three rows of drip line at the same time (50 ft rows, two lines per row). I have the lines screwed in and zip tied but no matter what I have at least two pop off every time I run water. I'm careful to open up enough lines before turning mainline on. Using Drip Depot and Treela. Do I need to seal lines in with some kind of sealant? Recommendations? Help! It's driving me crazy....
I'm about to order parts for two hose-end systems in my smallish urban yard.
I'm looking at pop-up sprayers for my little (20'x15') lawn, and adjustable emitters for the rest.
What do you wish you knew when you were just starting out with a drip system for your yard?
