So this happened

See if you have one of these things in front of your house.
Last time I ran 2.5 inch line to my irrigation pump, which was I don't even know how big but it was bigger than the intelliflo, and it took 4 hours to get as high as the light and 3 hours to get the rest of the way.

I probably paid in electric what they pay for water out west, but the water was free so I had that going for me. This time is town water so I'm guessing $150 or so for 34k gallons.

Though I have never seen a sprinkler system plumed in before the house plumbing..
1 inch from the street comes through the slab and 1 inch leaves to the sprinklers while the house feed reduces to 3/4 going up. The sprinkler line picks up poly pipe outside this wall.

You don’t have to crawl under a crawl space on you belly to get to your main shut off! Fancy! I have to shut mine off at the meter in the yard because of that.

Better run and get that vacuum hose out while you can!
Just. Bless you for catching that. The thought would have never crossed my mind. False alarm as they set it to the height they want me to shut it off later. Phew tho. (y) 20220622_192115.jpg

1.4… I don’t think it’s that simple I mean if the hoses are different diameters and length….
Of course. Hence why I said 1.4(?) :ROFLMAO:

Too many factors, but many folks think a second hose from the house doubles the rate of flow and It sure helps some, but not double.

Definitely not double! But every hour counts when anxiously waiting for a pool to fill…
