I mean sprinklers!! ;) :D Well, before lunch I decided to go ahead and put the new filter in. Got all the PVC parts cut and clued together. Then waited 2 hours. Manually turned on each station for 4 minutes and watched for the sprinkler heads to show, after making sure there were no leaks at the new filter, of course. Where I could count 9 sprinkler heads before, I now know there are 50!! Several will have to be dug up and repositioned closer to the surface of the ground (one or two were two inches below-covered with dirt) Two will have to be dug up and moved because of where I put my fence. But all in all, I'm very pleased.
I think my controller has a way to turn on a valve without turning on the creek pump. I may hook up the other two circuits off of house water later on to run drip irrigation, or soaker hose on the part of the house that doesn't have plant beds with the sprayers so I can keep the foundation watered.
Thanks to all who helped me with your ideas! I'm glad I'm not going to have to spend my entire summer digging and replacing the complete system! I bet it will take me a month of weekends to finish what I need to do now. Have a great end of the weekend! Jim.
