Very nice setup for $120 you can't go wrong with that and rainbird is a very good brand. I have seen many commercial properties using there heads. You should get years of use from the system. I am also setting a system up at this time. I need to run a water line under the sidewalk not looking forward to that.
nice job! I'm going to take the plunge and put in a system just like this. I think I'll end up buying the parts individually instead of the kit though because I plan to connect to a water line directly. But seeing you take apart the kit was super helpful! One other thing I plan to do is draw a scale diagram and take some photos (and print them) to keep in my files so I remember where the tubing is buried :)
@@mgoody8782 I wouldn’t say that. It all depends on what you’re trying to do. It’s definitely a convenient system. It’s not perfect, but at that price point I wouldn’t expect it to be.
Thanks for sharing. I just got the same system. I also have 100psi and 10 gallons per minute. What was the final distance you got? I made a 24 foot piece of rope and used that for spacing, but have not messed with the install any further at this time.
I’m doing mine this week! Great idea. My neighbor didn’t do that. Hope he doesn’t have any problems haha. Debating whether or not to use a shovel or rent a trench digger. I have no trees and I’m on sandy Michigan soil. Should be fairly easy. 80psi should be good for 1 zone and 6 heads I’m thinking
I just bought 2 of these were reading that the hose can't be extended because it's a unique size to the system itself. Can I attach both out of the same spigot using a y
I did part of my lawn last year, I was thinking of buying this kit, but You pretty much buy the same pieces at home depot and do it yourself, you can also hook it up to a 4 zone timer and have more heads, I have two 4 zone timers w/ 4 heads per zone. As for the trenches I just used an lawn edger to split seams in the turf. For sprinkler heads use hunter mp rotors there less water requirement hence being able to have more heads per zone. blow them out in the winter and they are good to go
@@johnp82 no if you have standard sized bodies. so you need to dig a little deeper at the heads, not a huge deal. Im on year two with rough winters with no problems
He has 6 heads on one zone. How is your 4 heads per zone more? Unless it waters more then one zone at a time giving you 8 on at the same time. I am unsure how the zones work.
@@Dodgecartech It all depends on your total volume & PSI coming from your spigot and the type of heads you use. If I were to use the heads that come with the kit, I would only have the volume to use 2-3 heads. With the hunter mp rotator heads I'm able to use 4-5 per zone and they cover more area. My point being is that the kit is overpriced but simple if you don't want to plan things out and have a small lawn say 1000 sq/ft or less, otherwise you're better off building your own kit. The zones work on a timer, In example you can set zone 1 to run at 5AM , when that's finished you can set zone two to run at 6AM and zone 3 at 7AM and so on. You wouldn't be able to run all of the zones at the same time unless you had multiple sources of water., hence why its broken up into zones.
The heads are all buried and pop up out of the ground when activated so you can just mow like normal. I use an air compressor to blow out the lines for the winter. Hope that helps.
You are hilarious. Great video. You should go pro. Wondering is that 5/8” tubing. Guessing Florida, Georgia, North South Carolina somewhere there. Me…British Columbia, Canada and we are on fire 🥵
So I purchased 50' extra hose and have about 65-70 PSI. Will I have any trouble with pressure for all 6 heads with 175' total hose length? Yours seems like it stretches pretty far and works well.
So my question is, I have an irrigation line already installed into my water main. Could I buy a normal timer and hook it up to this system? Or would I need something else?
The only way I can see that working is if you only have one zone for your system. Even then you’d have to hook up at least one valve to turn on and off the water. If you’re going to do that just DIY a normal system. It’s probably easier. If I had a irrigation line already hooked up I’d have done that instead.
It held up great. I installed an Irrigreen system last summer. I installed this system 4 years ago and it worked great, except I did have to switch out a couple timers.
what's your water pressure like? City water or well? I feel like My water p[pressure is way to low for even a little 6 head system like this. I bought 3 heads from Lowes, and hooked together with Garden hoses, and they were barely peeing. I'm on my own well...
Hello, I have a few questions regarding the installation of the pipe/tubing. Could you please let me know the depth at which the pipe/tubing was buried? Additionally, have you encountered any problems with leakage, breakage, or malfunctioning sprinkler heads? Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
There shouldn’t be any leaking since it’s not under constant pressure. Pipe was as deep as my shovel blade. The heads worked for 3 years until I put in a permanent in-ground system.
With this kit and your setup, Do you think you could install 1 maybe 2 more heads without sacrificing much water coverage. This is my only dilemma keeping me from purchasing two of these kits. I’d want to add at least one additional head to each zone. .
Probably depends on your water pressure. You could always DIY it by going with 3/4” poly pipe instead of the 1/2” pipe that comes with the kit. That’ll allow more flow through the pipe and maybe allow you to add an additional head per line. The kit is convenient because it has all the small pieces you need and you don’t have to think about what to buy. Other than that, you could purchase all this stuff and design it however you want.
I had this system working just fine for 3 years until I installed an Irrigreen system. Part of it is still in use though. My PSI is 80, and I have a very high volume of 20 GPM
I actually didn’t do the recommended head to head coverage, which turned out to be an issue actually. I’m getting about 25’ + distance per head with my PSI. I still placed them close enough to overlap streams though and I placed them about 35’ apart.
@@thegreybeeexperience Got questions . I have 100psi coming from the spigot with about a 10GPM. I am using a rain bird 5000 with a 2.0 nozzle. I want to put 4 heads with 30ft apart from one another. Do you think I have enough pressure to operate all 4 heads? What do you recommend? Can you breakdown the calculations I’m trying to understand it better?
@@supersaiyan6556 that’s a lot of pressure. I have the same @ 100 psi. I honestly have no clue if it will be able to operate all 4 heads or not. I’m definitely not a professional irrigation installer.
You'll have to use 3 or 4 sprinklers per zone, otherwise you won't get the coverage you would like to see. You cannot add kits together from one faucet unless you run multi lines from the faucet like grey bee did.
You could add rainbird 5000 heads. those will shoot 24-50 feet and screw on the same thread(i think. Im a semi professional lol and i dont see those 32sas used in a prof system). Then you would just use a 1GPM nozzle in the 5000. I believe those SA heads come with a .75. Whatever. match it up as close as possible to keep your GPMS close. 10 GPM out of your faucet means you can use theoretically 10 5000s at a 1.0 gpm nozzle each and not lose distance. There is some friction loss and such with water but you can play around and find what works. Im getting ready to put on in my yard which is 8k Sq ft. I bought extra line and another timer. Im going to run two complete "zones" with two complete lines and run each off of there own timer with a splitter at the spigot. Essentially creating two seperate systems so i can cover my area and have those heads just a sprayin loud and proud. Kind of like a professional system but without all of the electrical and valves. This kit has 200 plus worth of materials and tools if you bought seperately. Definitely worth it and great job on yours! Great video as well! Cheers from southern Idaho
I also have more heads laying around to add in. More tees, threaded elbows to connect heads and splices. I do this for a living so I have extra stuff on hand. Forgot to add that. Definitely need more heads to cover my area. Im adding pop up sprays as well as more 5000 rotors. Follow me @platinumlawnservicesidaho on instagram if youd like. Just a normal guy with a lawn business whos sick of moving the sprinkler in my own yard ;)
The 1/2” line will definitely be an issue with water pressure while using larger heads. I’ve tried to use larger heads from Orbit, and I get the same distance of spray due to using smaller line. If it was 3/4” or even 1” it would power multiple large rotors with no issues. I have 100 psi and still lost significant pressure through the 1/2” line.
Most houses have pressure regulators with weak pressure at the spigot. If you are going to dig up your yard you might as well install a proper system and tap the main line right after the water meter.
“Most houses”? I haven’t done the research on this, but I know for a fact that the 200+ houses in my neighborhood were built without a pressure regulator. Hence why my pressure was 100 PSI at the spigot. I’ve actually installed one to at least turn it down to 80 PSI.
Idk where you live but “most houses” I do work in are way too high - like over 85psi. Often recommend backing them down so their water heaters etc last a bit longer. I just installed this system in my 30x60 rectangle yard and used 6heads. Works perfect. Drains at the end of the year= no compressed air. Was actually quite surprised how well it worked out.
I got this kit, but I modified it, in stead of the 32sa rotors I got hunter pgp ultras and there is 3 ultras per zone, I got 2 of these kits and did this, but I had an idea to get poly and more ultras and so there is 9 sprinklers on this system but I decided to get more poly for my hedges and use 6 in hunter pro sprays with 5 x 30 side strip pro fixed nozzles and I’m very happy with all of this equipment
@@thegreybeeexperience cool. Well done. Digging is brutal. I’m going to go custom as I’m putting in 3/4” poly pipe (I think this system has 1/2” poly pipe?). All your sprinklers were spraying quite well. Looking forward to your update. 👍
@@Toyotaguru I’d buy extra tubing from Home Depot, or Lowe’s, so you can play around with the placement of the sprinkler heads. Other than that it’s pretty simple.
@@thegreybeeexperience It will cover the whole area with a 52SA sprinkler. The system kit sprinklers are crap. Get a 4 zone timer and use one sprinkler per zone.
Holy Smoke, that trench is too deep and too wide. I bought this system and installed in one afternoon. I did dig down deep on each side of the sprinkler head then about 3" down until I reached the the next head. No wonder you're about to die, it's too wide bro. I do think the system is a good deal price-wise, I had several companies come out and give me an estimate for $6,000 for front and back. So, I bought 3 systems at $130 bucks each and did them myself. Took the other $5,600 and went to Cabo Great video though.
I'm looking to buy 2 right now, but you caught me at Cabo. My wife and I went there to celebrate our 1st anniversary. We stayed at the Hyatt Ziva; had an amazing time.
There’s no reason to dig a trench the whole way. Pretty sure the directions even say to use a spade and open up a groove in the soil and stick the hose down into that. I only had to dig to get my heads low enough and the ends that allow for drainage.
A spade? Hahaha. That wasn’t gonna happen in my rock hard clay soil. Not to mention I need it at least 4” down below the surface so I wouldn’t puncture the pipe with an aerator. I also had tons of tree roots about 1.5” below the turf in a lot of areas.
Nice Vid Grey Bee! I heard you mention missing some areas and you're good with that, believe "just for seeding". Each head should be in lawn corners with extras in between for full coverage, the spray should reach the next head. I only mention this in case this is an instructional vid. Head to head FULL coverage: th-cam.com/video/n0Mzr8iKsH0/w-d-xo.html
Nice video, very entertaining! But no way in hell I would waste my time doing that though. Seems like way too much effort, and also likely that things will go wrong. My preference is to go professional for irrigation install.
A professional system would have cost me around $3-4K, vs the DIY route that cost me $125. It was worth it to me to at least see how the DIY system would work before dropping that kind of investment.
@@thegreybeeexperience OK but don't believe their advertising - I met the conditons and no good until I split them into 2 separate lines with 3 heads each.

Took the other $5,600 and went to Cabo Great video though.
I'm looking to buy 2 right now, but you caught me at Cabo. My wife and I went there to celebrate our 1st anniversary. We stayed at the Hyatt Ziva; had an amazing time.
How does this house look identical to the video I just watch by thelawnwhisperer installing irrigation too 🤣
If it was his video installing an Irrigreen system, then it is the exact same house 😂
There’s no reason to dig a trench the whole way. Pretty sure the directions even say to use a spade and open up a groove in the soil and stick the hose down into that. I only had to dig to get my heads low enough and the ends that allow for drainage.
A spade? Hahaha. That wasn’t gonna happen in my rock hard clay soil. Not to mention I need it at least 4” down below the surface so I wouldn’t puncture the pipe with an aerator. I also had tons of tree roots about 1.5” below the turf in a lot of areas.
Nice Vid Grey Bee!
I heard you mention missing some areas and you're good with that, believe "just for seeding".
Each head should be in lawn corners with extras in between for full coverage, the spray should reach the next head. I only mention this in case this is an instructional vid.

24:10 totally we know why is called Bird.
Tired of installing valves? This is the solution.
That's horribly it doesn't come with batteries
Not sure what we all are to do now
Think I'll just go to my office and get a few...
Nice video though
My wife got me this system for my birthday.. doing some research so I'm prepared to do.... Thanks for the video 👍
Dude, would have watched your vid all the way through but could stand the strobe effect from your cuts. Sorry, just sayin'. 🤔 🤦♂️
Nice video, very entertaining! But no way in hell I would waste my time doing that though. Seems like way too much effort, and also likely that things will go wrong. My preference is to go professional for irrigation install.
A professional system would have cost me around $3-4K, vs the DIY route that cost me $125. It was worth it to me to at least see how the DIY system would work before dropping that kind of investment.
@@thegreybeeexperience Good point.
THIS SYSTEM SUCKS IF YOU TRY TO RUN 6 HEADS
Depends on your flow rate and water pressure. I ran two 6 head systems at once and had zero issues.
@@thegreybeeexperience OK but don't believe their advertising - I met the conditons and no good until I split them into 2 separate lines with 3 heads each.
This rig sucks... Honestly!
Do you have one installed? Curious why you think it sucks.
