From the outlet and irrigation tubing installed in the video above a customized drip system can easily be installed... more videos to come on that soon!
Here you can find a list of the materials required for the irrigation installation detailed in the video above.
to serve as the main outlet for your raintank
to allow one end to attach to your drip line and the other to a hose.
The hose will allow you to have the option to a) get water out of your tank with just a hose and b) attach the drip system to a faucet with municipal water in the case that your tank is empty and you still want to use your drip system.
to connect your PVC ball valve to the 2-way shut off valve
to attach one end of your 2-way shut off valve to a hose barb
to have a second outlet option and the ability to hook your system up to city water if you don't have rain in your raintank (determine length for your system)
to attach the irrigation tubing to the 2-way shut off valve.
to run water to where you'll be installing drip line and emitters. (determine length for your system)
You can find ways to calculate sustainable irrigation amounts here so that you can make the most of your captured rainwater during the dry months.
