Hatin' on that I forgot to fully describe the pump outlet scene;
The Y adapter does ITS thing and there are two shutoff valves after it - One yellow, one black;
Each has a hole drilled through the ball portion of the valve, allowing only a small
amount of whatever to flow through it OR be wide-open; The first one is 3/32-inch and the later one is
1/16-inch. Switching-in either of these gives me the option of how much flow I can use to
reduce the Whizzer sprinklers' outputs, as they DO create a Helluva radius if uncontrolled!!!
Pretty cool is that the entire hose from one end to the other is a giant shock absorber, so I can
turn a valve off or on and have a residual effect of high to low pressure, enabling adjustable, slowing
coverage over a minute's time if I so desire. There's also a drilled valve at the base of my 55-gallon barrel
for a super-slow fillup, not interrupting house water usage.
Down to a SCIENCE!!!
Oh, also - that Y adapter outlet is also so that if anyone gives me crap about Miracle-Gro,
I can tell 'em to 'Suck it'!
'Is 70 PSI enough for ya???'
Lol---Haven't had the chance...yet. eg
