The solar powered Drip Zone Assembly model VA017 is a drip zone unit made of a solar powered timer with ¾ FHT inlet, ¾” backflow device, ¾ inch filter with 155 mesh screen, 25 PSI preset pressure regulator and a swivel adapter with .700 OD . The drip zone supports installation simplicity with reliable performance and affordable price to start a drip irrigation system from a faucet.
The solar powered Drip Zone Assembly allows for automation of a drip irrigation zone, provides protection to the drip emitters and micro sprinklers from particles that may enter the system, and reduces or regulates the incoming pressure of the water entering the micro irrigation system to the appropriate operating pressure of 25 PSI, which is within the range of recommended operating pressures for a drip irrigation system.
The most common method used with drip irrigation installation in home gardening is faucet installation. Begin the installation by connecting the solar powered hose end timer to the faucet first, before the backflow device. This method provides a better balance to the kit assembly when used with hose end timer. Next, attach the filter, then, the pressure regulator and last the swivel adapter that connect the drip zone to the drip tubing.
The solar powered hose end timer in this assembly is the EVO100 from DIG. The hose end timer features a large, easy-to-read LCD screen and simple, icon-based programming with weekly or cyclical programs, four start times per day, durations of up to six hours, program delay of up to 99 days, program off, manual operation, and a sensor wire connection to accept a rain sensor.
