Hello dear forum,
We spoke with the plumbing company about planning an irrigation system for our garden and asked what preparations might be needed. Unfortunately, they are not very familiar with this (understandable, as they are not landscape gardeners). However, they assume that no special planning is required and that the irrigation can later be connected with a T-piece to the regular outdoor water tap (along with a garden water meter). When I asked whether the pressure would be sufficient, they suggested not reducing or reducing less the pressure for this tap... (at least that’s how I understood it).
These statements seem a bit vague to me, so I’d like to ask you: how did you handle this, and can you confirm their advice?
Best regards!

It will then run through the smart home system and the corresponding wireless receivers in the electrical boxes.

Now we still need to see what comes of the pump. Do you have a replacement recommendation?

Hello and thank you very much!
I haven’t looked into the details of the irrigation system yet. There is no garden yet... about 300 square meters (approximately 3,230 square feet) will remain from the plot.
We have not planned a cistern. For now, my main focus is to create the right conditions to later be able to supply an irrigation system directly from the tap.
@rick2018 Conduit for electricity? I’ll add it to the list for the electrician.
As I said, I haven’t dealt with the details yet. But I roughly imagined it like in the photo.

The pump you had is very well sized based on the specifications. I can’t tell you whether you have a "Monday model" (a faulty unit) or if the quality is generally not that good. We have already gained good long-term experience with T.I.P. submersible well pumps on similar projects. These are available in various versions at the major river.

And you really want to supply your irrigation with river water? I once watered my neighbor’s garden and my mother’s garden for 2 hours using the cistern, and it was almost empty afterwards...
I have a T.I.P. pump hanging in the drainage sump; that would be my alternative now if the pump can’t be saved.

We have already gained good long-term experience with the T.I.P. deep well pumps on similar projects. They are available in different versions at the big river.
