Good Morning,
The LOML and I have installed a drip irrigation setup for 2 flower beds and 1 of our small garden spots. The kit we purchased a while back came with a pressure regulator and my problem with it...is that is "sings" when the timer kicks on and drives me crazy until I removed it from the setup. Now the timer won't shut off the water and it sings and rattles until the LOML or I go out there and shut the water off at the spigot.
I guess I have higher water pressure on the house but it shouldn't be as I had our local plumber come out and replace the bad pressure regulator on our city water supply to our house. Maybe they didn't set the pressure right or something. Now I need to get a pressure gauge and see what my water pressure is at the faucet. Any recommendations on a decent (but not expensive) pressure gauge?
If you've setup a drip irrigation system at your house....I'd like to here about what you did and how well it's working for you.
Any help, advice, pointers would be greatly appreciated.
