Tips/Tools
User
Best to have some length of hard pipe first before installing polypipe. Make sure pipe is installed at ground level. Air vacuum/relief valve should be installed to avoid tearing of polypipe when pump shuts down after irrigation. A stand pipe is affective when on electrical powered pumps when the pressure is unknown or too high. Check flowrate always!
