Good to see that you are still making videos, thanks for the information and wisdom. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the MP Rotors but I will wait and see. Pressure is an issue, track home, 700 sq ft yard, typical Ca. It gets hot here, I am looking to get a WI/FI timer and water at the crack of dawn during the summer.

"that thing says "china" on it" 😂 I can relate to that feeling

Always an adventure shadowing you on your jobs. Quite a bit of detective work in one episode.

After spending 5 hours yesterday unexcavating about 30 feet of funny pipe from six to 8 inches of dirt and huge roots that required a sawzall I appreciate your drip quidelines here. Never bury funny pipe!

So if I have a zone where I dont need one of the sprinklers and want to covert only that one to drip supply tubing I need to close the other heads? Even though those are being used?

Okay, I had to stop your video @ 3:06. There are some very good reasons for designing above grade manifolds. The first is age of user. Old knees/back don't like to bend down to acess buried valves. The second. Any kind of leak fills the valve box up with mud which covers the wires/connections. The third. Spider and other crawly creatures can take up residency in those buried boxes. Yes in colder climate you have be sure to blow out the system in the fall, so nothing freezes. I feel that one of worst mistakes I ever made in irrigation design is using a below grade design in bury boxes. I'm now in the process of raising all manifolds above grade (maybe 30" or so) so I drag my lawn chair up close get my glasses down on my nose to see the wiring and the I can install appropriate rebuild kits. Take the user/maintenance personnel in mind when your designing irrigation layouts. The original above grade design doesn't look that bad other than the isolation valves you mentioned. bjr23

I have all my watering days on program A tha say skp sequencing mode and my system is not watering. What does sequence mode mean and how do I get out of it.

I did 12 past year.

I’m looking for a slight angled up (30 degrees) spray. How are they identified… what do I search for?

good point, thanks!

Thanks for your useful videos. I'm building adrip irrigation system for my small-ish nursery which uses well water. Based on your video it looks like every line from the manifold will require it's own pressure regulator and filter ? I'm starting with an 8 station timer for a portion of the nursery so just want to make sure I'm not unnecessarily duplicating parts. Thanks!

flag emitters CAN be easily cleaned. Just rotate them as you pull. There is a notch in the black plastic part so when you rotate to the correct position you can pull it out and flush it. Then reinstall by pushing it in while rotating until it sets in then rotate a bit away from the notch. Done! All cleaned. And if you put it at the end of the 1/4 tube rather that at the larger tube (1/2" or 3/4" typ). they are less likely to break.

I appreciate this video. I was planning on hydroseeding a 260' long 25' wide 6' tall berm on the back of my property to create a native grassy meadow hill, but I have some limitations: New Mexico high desert (wind, UV, dryness, heat), two 7.5GPM water lines and a 30% slope on the hill. Regular spray heads need more water than I have, so I was considering the MP1000-90s, but your video - and the recommendation against them from the hydroseeder - are making me see that it's a doomed project. I can water a few plants one by one, but spraying the whole area reliably doesn't seem possible with these limitations. Thanks for helping me come to that sad truth.

Why are you recycling your video. 2024? This is a 3 year old video. Where is the trust???

Where is this calculator mentioned multiple times? There's no link in the video or description.

How do I reset the rain delay feature?

So I have 11 zones in my system. My system runs off of a shallow well with a 2 Hp pump. System comes on fine with timer and works great until it reaches zone # 8. At that point pressure drops dramatically in zone #8 and only a small stream comes from one or two of that zones heads. I then go to my well pump and crack the threaded bleeder on top of the impeller housing. air bubbles will then come out and within a minute or two zone #8 will pressurize and come to life. The system will then finish off the remaining watering cycle without a hitch. Next day this same problem will repeat. What might I check in my system? Thanks

I was told by all the neighbors that bc we are all on wells, I need to buy flag emitters bc those are the easiest to clean. What the heck?

hi, thanks! Is there a seasonal adjustment variation, say, to up your minutes across the board for 20% in hot weather for a while?

thanks for sharing the goldfinches, that's a mighty robust feeder stand you've built.

Very thorough and well presented. I can't locate the link for the "Josh's Boxes" am I missing where it's located. Thanks again.

How do you take if off?

Is there a reason why my display where it shows the time keeps on flickering?

What type of emitter would you recommend for hanging baskets on a zone with other shrubs and trees.

Thanks! Didn’t know there was a kit! You just saved me an afternoon of digging! 👍

for a pro very poor job should of had a union on at least one side of each valve

GREAT VIDEO! Will you check my thinking? My irrigation system is set up for 3 programs (A=Citrus trees, B=Plants, C=Palms). To program, I set it to A and set the start time (1) for 6:00AM. I just want it to run once. The other start times are set to OFF. I set the day to Wednesday so they are watered once a week. Then I set the run time (1) to 2 hrs., as recommended by the nursery. The other run times (2-12) are set to OFF. Then, for B, I set the start time (1) for 6:00AM. I just want it to run once each day. The other start times are set to OFF. I set the days to Monday and Thursday so they are watered twice a week. Then I set the run time (1) to 1.5 hrs., as recommended by the nursery. Then, for C, I set the start time (1) for 6:00AM. I just want it to run once. The other start times are set to OFF. I set the day to Tuesday so they are watered once a week. Then I set the run time (1) to 2 hrs., as recommended by the nursery. Does that sound right?

Great video for the diy gal!

Try 7 valves in a single box..... they were in 2 levels, lower and upper going in either north to south or east to west........ that's what I have to deal with. Splitting those up into 2 boxes like it should have been in the first place. WHAT A MESS...... just go on youtube they said..... you will find the answers to how to fix your house problems they said..... good luck I say. I swear my house was built by corner cutting men from mars.

What’s the runtime for this station? How do you adjust that runtime throughout the year?

What’s the run time for these sprinklers? How do you come up and adjust the runtimes throughout the year?

I love how you want to get footage of the sprinklers but get distracted by the scenery 😂. Some people have beautiful properties man.

My record is 14 valves. They were split between 3 manifolds, i made them into 4. I did it all solo and when i was finally 90% done i found myself muttering "i did it" Props on 17 valves that is crazy man.

Hi im trying to learn as much as i can about this. You say around 3:33 that overspray isnt an issue on the beds like it is the concrete. I get why garden overspray is acceptable, but on the other hand, how is overspray on concrete even avoidable?

Is it possible to put a hunter adjustable nozzle on a rain bird pop up ?

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks

Joe Biden couldn't have read a teleprompter better. "pause". LOL

Have you ever seen in line valves installed under a house in a crawl space? I’m starting to worry mine are in there. I know where the back flow is back can’t find the valves. Judging from the where the wires lead and how I can hear zone turning on echoing throw my whole house I’m kind of worried?

How do you set it to come on twice a day? We only have one zone and it comes on at 7am I would like to set it to come on again at 7 pm

As the property owner I would have insisted on unions for cuter valve replacement

Video shows it’s from two years ago yet its title says 2024? Is TH-cam messing with this or are you messing up yourself?

One of my neighborhood uses ICV boxes to turn off water

Nice job. Good education for the simple minded like me. I'm having a pro install a new unit at a 17 year old home we just moved into. He made sure all the heads where working and drip systems are functioning but in at the end we discovered the control unit wasn't getting power for some reason. Time for a new one with Wi-Fi capabilities. Thanks again for your video.
