Great video and solid information. I had a heck of a time trying to hook up my 1/2” hose until I came across your video. Thx.

Please describe the end pieces to close off the end for the winter. I would try to drain before it freezes, however water could get in the open end and maybe crack the tube as it freezes. Your video was the most practical for a home owner using Rainbird products. Thank you in advance, Pam

Thanks for your comments. The end pieces you can use are either a slide on cap that stays in place based on friction and has a screw off top that allows water to drain out for winter (slightly more expensive). The other is a simple crimp you slide over the tube when bending it over on itself. It's harder to slide off that crimp at the end of the season to allow water to drain but it works just as well. I think on one of the setups I used both since it was the first time setting up, but you only need one.

Thanks for the video! Is the water flow continuous or do you have a timer somewhere?
@ShinyInsanity

It is not continuous and is only turned on 1-2 times a day (depending on how hot the season). The emitter heads are 1-3 gallons per hour so that would be overkill to leave them on all the time.

Thank you for explaining what those additional attached pieces were for on the tubing stakes. The directions didn't explain how you were supposed to use them.

what size is your main line and what fitting did you use to connect to water faucet? Thanks, I bought the rainbird expansion kit and it only has 1/4" tubing with it.
@ShinyInsanity
6 ай бұрын
The main line is 1/2 inch. You'll need a 3/4 inch female hose thread connector either the 1/2 inch line or the 1/4 tubing directly. The kit I showed came with 1/2 inch line and you branch off from there with the 1/4 tubing.

Hi, I just installed this system. Does water pour out of your backflow preventer when you shut the water off, is this normal?
@ShinyInsanity
Жыл бұрын
Yes mine does this as well when I shutoff the water abruptly as the backflow preventer releases the excess pressure built up. I find shutting the water off slowly helps minimize it.

do you use strictly 2gph emitters for convenience
@ShinyInsanity
Ай бұрын
Sorta. I use them so that I know the plants all get about the same amount of water for a given time since they are mostly in the 7-10 gallon pot size range. For anything larger I will add an additional 1 GPH emitter to the mix.

Which filter did you buy? Can you share a link?

Just a standard rainbird y filter like this. About $14-17 depending on where you buy it. www.lowes.com/pd/Raindrip-Nylon-Hose-Pipe-Thread-Drip-Irrigation-Filter/3407258

My back flow preventer is gushing water every time I turn my spigot on...what's wrong with my system? thanks.
@ShinyInsanity

Drip irrigation systems typically operate at a much lower pressure than standard hose bibbs. If the backflow preventer isn't designed for low-pressure systems, it might misinterpret the pressure change as backflow and release water when you turn it on. Try to turn on the spigot slowly.
