What a drip...

...system.

Finally got it going. Gotta regulate the temperature a bit now that i have the hot line tied in, heaters were not turning off when it was just cold.

Water goes from the main into a whole house filter into carbon/chlor filters into two 2gph drip emitters.







Let's see what this does to the water bill...

If I can get the flow regulated where I want it, I'll be at about 500$ more a year.

If I leave it where it is now, I better get another job...

Our rates are about 0.0145c to a gallon.

Anyone use pressure regulators to drop the psi to the drippers? Or just eyeballing it with shutoff valves?

OK, shutoff valve after the filters and before the drippers is working great. Down to about 4gph as planned.

Then the overflow filled with air and lost suction. That was fun to clean. Thank god for floor drains and sloped cement.

Note to all: compression fittings suck. Use threaded connectors and/or quick connect.
