I’m sure you can find a space in one of those tents to shove one or two into hehe
Finally got the irrigation system working the way I want it to. Needed to buy a premade manifold because my old design (2 port manifold split into 6 sites) was not getting enough pressure to deliver water to all 6 lines.
My first assumption was my old pump was failing or not strong enough. So I ordered a new, better pump and hooked it up only to have the exact same issue with line pressure.
What a pain in the ass figuring it out. I did 3 or 4 designs before realizing I knew nothing about fluid dynamics and reached out to @Mr.Sparkle who also runs a top feed system like this. He suggested a riser higher than the top of my pots, and one of these Orbit manifolds. I wasnt sure that was going to fix it so I made a DIY 6 port manifold to test the theory.
It actually worked but as you can guess it only lasted about 10 seconds before blowing up and spraying water everywhere.
But it proved the theory so went ahead and ordered the Orbit manifold.
Once it was all dry fit together and verified working I tried to assemble it with tape and pressure fittings. Well that leaked like crazy so had to run over to the hardware store and get some pvc cement. Like I said, huge pain in the ass.
But here it is, working as intended lol
