Rural Irrigation/Remote Faucets Methods ??

[George]

Sounds like someone is an "expert" who doesn't understand both basic physics and standard practice that results from it..

Heh.... George, meet Sheldon, or Shellshock, or jes plain shelly. He never lets the facts get in the way of an opinionated and/or colorful post. ;)

Try telling all that to any plumber or irrigation specialisst. Prepare for them to laugh in your face.

Geez. Did you totally fail every class involving physics?

Getting a bit tired of your juvenile cheap shots. So far all of them addressed to me and other have proven to be as wrong as your knowledge of hydraulics.

I not onlyi own my own home it has been paid for for over 30 years and sits on 2 acres (half no longer irrigated).

WTH? Where did I say I irrigate in winter? The system was my new well. the line that broke was an irrigation line used in summer. Where do I live? In Wa State.

Why don't you just give up? You have proven to be an utter moron,

I fully doubt that. Nothing seems to sink into that head of his. At first I thought he was just another no-nothing, now I am sure he could be certified as a moron by a psychiatrist.

Exactly what happened to my line. I laid it in the fall and the leak (massive) surfaced in January. Had to shut down my well and re-open the community well line that I gave up on by drilling my own well. I had wound up being the unpaid maintenance man on the community well. Had enough of that after 10 years.

I don't think he has seen _any_ plumbing except the spigot next to his trailer house.

I don't have or use any 5/8 garden hose. That'd be worthless.

[Steve Barker]

Have you ever heard of frictional losses?

[Steve Barker]

that's what the people who make and sell them call them.

[Steve Barker]

They are called Frost Free Yard Hydrant. You have to remember to surround the bottom of them with coarse rock to give the water someplace to drain.

[Harry K]

Yes they do but the average person doesn't.

Yep. I'm in mid winter now in the sthn hemisphere and since it's been the driest June for decades, I've currently got my low pressure sprinkers running on my asparagus bed.
