Hi, would you consider rotors instead of the mp rotators in your scenario? How did you decide to go with the mp instead? Also, what would you do different if you were to start over again? I'm really interested. Thanks!
Hey mate, well I chose these because they could handle low water pressure better than other kinds of sprinklers, with this kind of setup the water pressure really goes down for each head you add to it. If I were to do it again I would maybe consider getting a different head altogether, maybe one that could handle larger areas instead, then I could have a system with fewer heads instead. That's the downside of MP rotators, you require a lot of them to get 100% coverage.
Hey Nick, good question, actually forgotten to add the Quick-snap from the US I am trying to replicate. Since you guys don´t seem to be able to get hold of Gardena stuff that easily I would buy the quick-snap ones. Pretty much what I am trying to achieve, without the fuss of having to build it yourselves. I saw a video of Quick-snap and it looked so easy, unfortunately no one in Europe seems to sell them and the shipping from US was just too much, hence this DIY build. Otherwise I would just try the Quick-snaps, not sure if you could change the heads to Hunters on those, but you should I would Imagine. I added the link to it in the description. If you try them, let me know how they work out :)
Hey mate, not really sure but I have pretty good water pressure and I could run 3 without any issues and 4 poorly so I think 3 is max for me, not sure what PSI that would be.
Remember to blow out the sprinkler head with pressurized air before you freeze for the winter. I have a feeling there may be some water left in the heads even though you remove the hose. Best of luck!
Great video! Just what I was looking for👍🏻I have a 5ft by 50 ft strip. How well do u recommend the side strip? I just tried the 2000 but I get a bit too much over spray onto my fence. Thx you
I actually changed the side strip for a 2000, the side strip wasn't that great to be honest. Go with a 2000 and lower the range? Or go with a 1000 i would say. Thanks alot for watching man, really appreciate it :D
The spray length is that equal to a radius or a diameter? When it says the t 200 can spray 5-8 m, is that up to 8 m in one direction or only half of that?
Hur kan man ta reda på hur många huvuden av varje sort osv man behöver/kan ha per m2? Jag har 5.2 bar från utkastaren (74psi). dvs riktigt bra flöde. Tackar
Tjena, jag vet faktiskt inte riktigt, ska du ha just Hunter så vet jag att de har en guide på sin hemsida där de går igenom täckning osv, sen har Gardena en kalkylator på sin sida, går säkert att konvertera den och räkna med Hunter så att säga.
Hey Lance, sounds nice, let me know how it works out. I have a video coming out showing how to winterize in a DIY way :) first time for me I have to do any winterizing since I haven't had an irrigation system. Hope it works :D
@@lance8280 I bought the 12 inch, gives more flexibility to set the hose correctly, but I think the 6 inch should work just fine, try one out before you change them I would say
@@SamsLawn thanks I just bought the 12 inch and will be returning 6 inch just think that might work out better. I also heard you say you are watering your grass but not sure if you have timers set up, I love my water timers so I don’t have to water manually
Hey man, thanks for watching. Hopefully I can show you how we usually to things in Sweden. I think the biggest difference is that we don't use herbicides and fungicides since they are all illegal here for homeowners. Next year I'm killing of my lawn and glyphosate is also illegal to use from this year so we'll see how I manage to kill it off :)
Hey Vytautas, they are, I had to dig up 3 of them since I installed a new cable for the robomower, but they are still working just fine. But I think this solution would be perfect for smaller lawns, mine is too big, need more sprinkler heads to get good coverage. We'll see if I get more or maybe install a full irrigation system.
Hey Andrew, sure thing, thanks for reminding me, must have forgotten. I'll update the links. Hope Swedish Amazon links work for you.Thanks for watching, appreciate it.
Hey Craig, yep, just a normal outdoor tap, the pressure was enough for 3 heads not more, so I have divided everything into sections with no more than 3 heads. Not the most optimal solution but I wanted to try it out :)
Hey, not sure, did't really keep track of everything, but I think closer to 150 dollars or 140 euros, the connectors from Gardena is the expensive part.
@@petermuhligchristensen6588 it's like the attachments that you can see on the picture here www.biltema.se/fritid/friluftsliv-och-camping/luftmadrasser/dubbelverkande-luftpump-2000033972?gclid=CjwKCAjw9-KTBhBcEiwAr19igwLqpepmcE03CtN-3RXXNI0OD0Sdpaa58cJmclyhufVz7GxzHD_0eBoCVaUQAvD_BwE
@@SamsLawn perfect! We even have Biltema here in Denmark as well. Do you use anything to protect the part of the connector that are sticking up from the lawn? I mean to protect from dirt and so on.
