I spent 25 years doing irrigation from golf courses to suburban houses and I found your video to be the most sensible of the many I watched. I am not a big fan of the method of "smart controllers" or the drip and micro stuff due to its failure rate, especially in cold climates. And also, always used poly pipe, so much faster than glue. Great video.

@HomeProHero 7 месяцев назад

Thx for watching! Interesting you suggested poly pipe for everything. I love working with the poly more and the glueing did suck but was concerned regarding the consistent water pressure on the main line. If I had to do it all over again I would have added a master valve at the water tie-in and ran poly everywhere. Smart controllers are so nice and mine adjusts its schedule off of 200 nearby weather points. Saves water when not needed. Take care

@timbryant9869 Год назад

Coming from an irrigation contractor with 27 years experience, what you've done with your irrigation system, is much better than any other diy install I've seen. I am curious if Rain-Bird took into account the gpm of your pump from your well. One very important factor when doing a system where a private well is used, is that the zones are design in a way that when each zone is on, the well pump runs constantly. Otherwise you cause the pump to short cycle (the pump comes on and goes off while any zone is running) , which can significantly shorten the life of the pump and the pressure.

@HomeProHero Год назад

Thanks for watching and the comments! Not sure on that cycling of the pump. I know once water it turned off in the house the pump runs for a few more seconds before turning off - likely to repressurize the system maybe? I do have a constant flow well pump which does have the lag of water as the system uses pressure. I will watch it tonight and see if the pump continues to pump or shuts off and back on again. Rainbird never mention anything about the well pump. Thanks HPYH

@mariannek6449 11 месяцев назад

How do you prevent short cycling and a separate irrigation line with higher psi separate from the house? My house is set at 60 psi. RAINBird stated we need 70-75 psi for irrigation. They stated that the increased pressure could cause damage to our home and we should have separate home and irrigation pressure lines. We do not know who to call for the norm with the suggested setup / advice on separate irrigation line for increased pressure and to inquire if it will need additional equipment like a separate tank. We are on a budget and want to do the project ourselves but it sounds like we may need a professional to break off from our main well water line for the separate irrigation /constant pressure line of 75 psi.

@timbryant9869 11 месяцев назад

@HomeProHero it you have a VFD, also called a constant pressure system, you shouldn't have any issues. A VFD will only pump as much water as needed to maintain a pre determined PSI. So, your pressure tank is likely very small, probably between 2 and 5 gallons. The tank on your system is only needed since water can not be compressed, so you need the air bladder tank to initially turn the pump on and off.

@timbryant9869 11 месяцев назад

@mariannek6449 pretty much all of the systems I've ever worked and installed have a working pressure of 30 to 50psi. Even from the Rain-Bird website, the optimal pressure for their 5004 pop-up rotors heads is only 45psi. You might want to verify 70-75psi, that high of pressure would just cause the heads to fog, instead of mimicking rain.

@mariannek6449 11 месяцев назад

@@timbryant9869 I wrote down the wrong psi. We have a 119 gallon tank and our well water pressure gauge is set to 45 psi. Rainbird recommended 60-65 psi to get the water to the other side of our property. They designed the system at 15 gpm at 58.5 psi. We have 1.25 acres. This was their response: We can resume the design process now. Although we estimate that 60 PSI is sufficient, we will suggest 60-65 PSI in the design. Your concern makes sense. Please note that 60-65 PSI or even higher pressures do not represent an issue in residential applications. These pressures are common. Something that could actually pose a risk is attempting to run higher water flows. The recommended safe water flow for residential properties is 24 GPM through 1 ¼” PVC pipe, strongly suggested by the irrigation industry standards. The matter of concern is water velocity, it must be kept at 5 feet per second maximum. Higher velocities could be dangerous, risking damage to the system or even the user. Given the very large size of your property we estimate a considerable pressure loss, may be 10-15 PSI or greater. The rotors need 45 PSI at the head (after the pressure loss) to work efficiently. The zones will in fact work separately, but they will be connected to a same water source and the farthest valve group will get around 45-50 PSI after the system pressure loss through the pipe network. The TCEQ agency in your state requires a hydraulics calculation showing that you have sufficient pressure and some residual pressure in order to approve your irrigation permit. We do not understand what we need in order to fulfill the recommended water pressure requirements. Do we purchase a booster system with a separate well tank dedicated to the irrigation system?

Thanks for watching! Building the inground sprinkler system was an exciting project, but I must admit that the digging process was quite challenging, especially since I did it during the hot months of July and August. Moving the dirt back into the trenches after the digging was even more difficult due to the rain, which made the soil super heavy! On the positive side, working on the pipe and engineering aspects of the project was relatively easy and enjoyable. It was my first time installing an inground sprinkler system, and I can't believe how I managed without one before! The convenience of having a drip irrigation system for my hanging flower baskets has been a game-changer. I highly recommend anyone who's considering installing an inground sprinkler system to go for it! It might be challenging at times, but the benefits and convenience it brings are absolutely worth the effort. Take Care

i like the video, how many total heads did you use. Im thinking of redoing mine, totally changed the yard from what the previous owner had, it works but i want more zones. rainbird did my design and i think its up to 45 heads, im thinking of using all flexible pipe from orbit, 1inch flexible from orbit and smaller to all the heads, lots of digging with a trencher. i have learned that smaller zones will work better because different soil and different amounts of sun. my yard is about 1acre

@HomeProHero Год назад

Thanks for watching! I think I was right around 40 heads or so. My biggest zone is 6 heads. When rainbird designed my system they had like 100 heads and 16 zones - i thought that was overkill. The flex pipe is great when you tie them into the heads. I just put out another sprinkler video that shows me creating a new zone - might be helpful!

@JuanPerez-vw6kh Год назад

Looks great! Going to do the same to my home. Do I need to get a permit and also can I do it myself or do I need to get a licensed plumber to run the pcv lines to the main water source?

@HomeProHero Год назад

Thanks for watching! While it's not likely that you'll need a permit for a home irrigation system, I recommend reaching out to your local authorities to confirm. Regulations can vary by location, and it's always better to be sure. Many municipalities offer a simple phone call or an online check, and it's often free to inquire about permit requirements. If you have the knowledge and confidence to tackle the installation yourself, it can be a rewarding DIY project. However, if you're uncertain or unfamiliar with plumbing work, it's wise to consider consulting a licensed plumber. Regardless before digging for any irrigation lines, make sure to call your local utility companies to have them mark the locations of underground utilities. Thx HPH

@HomeProHero 2 месяца назад

Thx for watching! My well is fairly new about 5yrs old. I knew I wanted irrigation so they installed a 1.5 horse at 210ft deep. No issues other than is a constant flow so the little 7 gallon pressure tank failed but was covered under warranty. Well people did like me having the system tied in because they carry the warranty but can do anything about it :) Pump is good because when my system turns on it normally runs for an hour or two straight. I guess a well turning and off is worse than just running. No regrets for sure and I have now tied in 13 flower baskets - love that! Take care

I’m guessing 25-30 psi.

Thx 4 watching! I did my system last year and wasn't aware they are now charging for the design until after this video. Other viewers expressed the same thing. Regardless it's a great asset. You don't have to use it as long as you figure out water flow for your zones - lots of videos on here to learn that. Regarding the PVC it's recommended for the supply lines (the lines under constant water pressure) to be pvc. Poly pipe connections aren't as strong as pvc and glue. In Indiana you have to blow your system out in the fall so there is no chance of the pvc freezing and breaking. Hope this helps.

Thanks for watching! Video is as titled. I saved money by doing the things in the video its not a "how to video". Take care!

No, the video says INSTALL. I was expecting to see how you installed it.

If that is design Rainbird gave you wow you're screwed. Those Christmas trees you have are gonna slowly die due to the amount of water you are throwing at them. Good effort but not a good layout. I'm on the irrigation business and that my friend is gonna cost you those trees and money. Good try though.

Thanks for watching! Those types of trees love water and thriving in there current location! If it was an issue it would have already have shown signs. As plants get larger they demand more water. In the next few years I will like just simplify move the 2 heads maybe 5ft into the yard more and than mulch the area of between the trees and paver sidewalk. Have a great day!

Ok….now elaborate on the problems you ran into.

Honestly really none! It was a ton of work for sure. I had to be careful with the trencher around my septic tank and the sewage pipe from my house. Had to run back and forth from menards alot for fittings. Since it went operational I only had one problem - when they blew out my lines before winter i think they used too much pressure and broke the bond on main line where there was an elbow fitting. They fixed free of charge of course - 15 minutes. Other than that my yard is super green and lush! Thanks for watching

Who blew out your lines for you? Could I do that myself?

@@bassplayaman1 I call a local landscape company to do it in late fall normally around October in Indiana. You have to have a monster of a air compressor if you want to do it. Its easy to do I don't really have a need for a compressor that big. They charge me $125 well worth it!
