Valve Selection Advise
Thanks in advance to all who respond.
I have went through the Rainbird design process, and then used the Irrigation Tuturials website extensively to double check, and slightly modify the design. Of course Rainbird suggests spray's such as the SurePop series, etc. which I have decided to upgrade, along with other components, to 1800 SAM PRS series, based on some limited conversations with some pro installers.
Along those same lines, Rainbird suggests JarTop series valves, which I get the impression are at the lower end of the quality scale? I am currently looking at the "100-PGA - RainBird 1 inch Threaded Inlet/Outlet PGA Series Valve" as a possible upgrade.
I've got a total of 9 zones (8 standard, plus 1 drip) and I'm looking for a quality (sub $50, preferably sub $30), easy maintenance / serviceable valve.
Thanks,
Jeff
