i cancelled the gch order when i saw the price tag. twice the price of online. TWICE for every part. thanks for the links.
Yea that's online pricing going there's a different story tho I haven't found the micro jets online so I buy them at Gc you definitely need top hat sprayers they direct the spray downward I honestly don't know the gph on them
the fan jets greencoast sold jack are the barbed stakes with the black #30 coupler and the j2 spray pattern and a top hat. looks like a 3" riser

I'm stating mine up with one but supposedly it has a pressure drop switch to turn it on so I could in theory work without but maybe these guys could chime in. I'll know in a week.
Pressure Boosting pumps don't need a relay or anything to turn on. They will automatically turn on when they sense a drop in pressure caused by a sprinkler valve opening for a table.
If it's a regular pump (like well jet pump or iwaki fish tank pump, then yes you will need to setup a 24v --> 120/240v relay from the master solenoid in galcon timer to turn it on.
Hey sureshot, i've got this dud thing going on a little... wondering if you do too. it's making me consider containerizing again if the beds promote the spread of the issue (if it's fusarium then forsure the coco is screwed.)

whats up hulk, no the reeflo isnt pressure sensing i use a relay with my setup, pressure sensing pumps are more expensive,
na i dont whats it doing? got a pic? fusariums not real common in my circles i dont know much about it anything change in your regiment?
Hi, thank you for your response. The relay isnt something I'm familiar with. Is this a part you can purchase from a Home Depot? Or possibly order somewhere online? Thank you!
h depot might have it check for orbit pump relay
they have it here at home desperate looked fairly simple.
can any of yall see a reason not to use pex instead of pvc. working around the pvc has me wondering if im going to accidentally break ot one day in a mishap. pex is so much more durable and forgiving. thoughts?
does pex have the variety of fittings u need to run this setup?im doubting it, i duno man feel free to experiment i think its a bad idea pvc is tried and true for this..u will break pvc sometimes i have only broken my risers and that was cuz my rows are super narrow and i snag them on somethng, fortunately its pvc and u can fix it in 5 minutes

you can do anything with pex including couple it to pvc. shark bite fittings are a snap and you wont break it ever.im thinking of runnung it all the way to the riser and coupling to that via a fitting. its the modern standard in new homes.
my current project is already plumbed but we were thinking on future projects of trying it.
