Two different lifestyles buddy...

But dude, don't you have a job making at least $100/hour? It does not makes much sense to spend the day doing this stuff when you can have a yard maintenance guy do it right ans affordable

Yeah I rather pay someone to do all this.

🙄

When you're 85 you'll be calling the pros 😮

Thanks so much! So happy you found the channel!

I can do exactly that in less than 30 mins most the time. Pace out your nozzle sizes and your good to go. You should be able to pace and flag and zone all at once. That's how all the pros do it. If you see anyone out there with a tape measure they dont know what they are doing.

Thanks

Lol me toooo lol

Me 3

Me 4

Me 5! I was thinking, "This doesn't look too bad," and then when he started showing how to hook it up to the house, I got nervous. That part looks really complicated.

Lmao me too

Did you hire a professional?

@@xex9536 No, not yet home is still under construction.

I'm deciding whether to pay a contractor or DIM (DoItMyself). I'm leaning towards DIM because of your comment and because my neighbors had a contractor and I'm not impressed. I don't want that flex pipe stuff.

Thomas Musser The thinnest pipe last just as long boss

That's what I'm dealing with! Following and digging up all the old, super thin schedule 1 (I think) crap. It so thin it's hard to cut - it just collapses! Freaking nightmare can of worms I opened.

Where I was raised in Fl. , that’s what that thin pipe was used for !

😅

😂

So it wasn’t just me that did that.

You normally use air pressure to clear the sprinkler lines. A large air compressor. You should install a backflow preventer where the water comes out of the house

Thank you! 😃

I'm glad!

No, the water pressure will move the water against gravity if needed. Depending on the slope of the hill, the length of the pipe and the diameter of the pipe are going to determine how much pressure loss you'll experience. PVC really isn't recommended for irrigation systems anymore. It'll work for small systems but doing a large lawn with PVC would be a nightmare. It's cheaper and easier to use 1" HD Polyethylene pipe for most installations.

He is using 3/4" but 1/2" is probably fine. I saw some new push on style hose at Home Depot for even faster installs.

Same! Helpful video and much more enjoyable than this old house xD

Yeah I bet he couldn’t do it for a living though

Cl200 PVC is standard grade for all professional irrigation installs... only morons use poly.

Keep doing a good job bro

6 to 8 inches actually

Google it

Static pressure loss will be .433 psi per foot of elevation gain, and depending on the size, type and length of pipe you will have some pressure loss there too. There are charts that help you choose the correct size pipe for your needs including pressure loss.

he doesnt know what hes doing, he has an idea, but not really

My guess could be for a few reasons, drainage, border to prevent damage when mowing a yard, easier to uncover to replace a sprinkler head.

Aside from cost, going bigger is better. You’ll have less pressure loss due to friction in the pipes. However, if you have any kind of slope, put in tiny check valves at the bottom of your sprinkler heads. They cost $0.50 each and will prevent water from higher slope leaking out through the lower slope. Having gallons of water leaking out of the lower slope after each watering will cause a puddling mess. Its even more important when you use a larger pipe because a bigger pipe will hold a lot more water. Empty pipes also take slightly longer to fill back up each time you water your lawn, in addition to being a waste of water. Check valve is a cheap and quick solution to the simple problem.

The anti siphon valve is a backflow in this set up but if you’re setting up a proper system that runs of your meter then yes you need to install a backflow
