RECOMMENDATIONS & LIMITATIONS
When installing any irrigation system, it is important to be aware of manufacturer recommendations and potential system limitations. Please be aware of the following: Order of installation is critical for proper system function. This is the order in which parts should be installed, starting from the outdoor faucet.
1) Check your outdoor faucet to make sure there is an attached or built-in Brass Anti-Siphon Vacuum Breaker that is designed to prevent backflow of fluids into the potable/drinking system.
2) A Metal "Y" Fitting is suggested so you can attach your garden hose.
3) The Electronic Timer (MLWT-1ZONE, MLWT-TWOZONE) or our Mechanical Timer (MLWT-EGG).
4) Pressure Regulator. When using our Micro Sprays with a water pressure of over 50 PSI, use the 40 PSI Pressure Regulator (the Regulator featured on this page). When using Drippers, we highly suggest using our 25 PSI Pressure Regulators (MLD-25PR).
5) 150 Mesh Filter (MLFF-41) is suggested when using Drippers or when using our products with "well" water.
6) 1/2-in Poly Faucet Fitting (MLF-33) to connect the 1/2-in Poly Tubing or the 1/4-in Faucet Adapter (MLA-FAS) to connect the 1/4-in Vinyl Tubing.
