Thanks in advance for looking over my questions, and any answers/advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
I already started purchasing parts, but have not started the install yet, and I want to make sure I do this right the first time.
I have a well that produces 15GPM+ and the PSI settings are 50 to 60, when the pump is running, and I'm using 15GPM its pretty steady at 58 PSI on the well tank, there is a 1.25" pipe ran from the well to my house plumbing and it T's off a 1" to all my house items, the other end of this T will be for the irrigation system.
Here is my plan so far, please let me know if anything is wrong, or you have better suggestions...
A) I want to install a 100-PESB for my mater valve, along with a Flow-Clik for added protection, these will be in the basement.
B) I plan on installing 2, in-ground valve boxes, one on each end of the house, each one will have a Febco 860 RPZ inside the box, along with 1" manifolds and 4x 1" HV valves.
C) I plan on using 1" poly for all underground sprinkler piping.
D) I plan on using R-van/P45 combos for all the sprinklers.
Now my questions:
1) Is it ok to install the RPZ's inside the in-ground boxes? Or would it be better in the basement? I heard they can spray water during normal operation?
2) Is it ok to run 1" pipe to my master valve? or should I run 1.25" (size supplied from well) and get a 1.5" master valve with reducers, is the master valve ok in the basement?
3) I have charts for the R-Van nozzles, and using the GPM at 45PSI what is the maximum GPM you recommend that I try and use?
4) Since I live in Wisconsin, I'd like to make this system self draining, how many drains should I put in each run? I also plan on blowing it out each season. What depth should I bury this at?
5) Since I have a well, there is some sand in the water, but right next to the well I installed a whole house 30 micron sediment filter, and I have never noticed any sand in my house water, but the filter definitely has a lot of sand in it when I replace it, do I need any additional filtering?
