    Wet Play - Pumps / Pipes / Systems Etc

    Yeah, I think I would need to build a pressure relief valve of sorts. There must be a way to calculate the restriction / pressure as say I had only 1 solenoid open to 1 outlet this would be a higher system pressure than if I had 3 open feeding 3 outlets simultaneously. The system needs to...

    Wet Play - Pumps / Pipes / Systems Etc

    Good Afternoon All, I couldn't find a section dedicated to garden plumbing so hopefully this will be ok here. Im looking to create a "wet play" system for the kids which will involve several water endpoints which will spray arcs of water of sprays, whatever I want to add really, anyway...
