I purchase a home with a 12-zone irrigation system on municipal water. When I bought it the owner said the system was all plumbed for lake water, I just need to install a pump. I chose an identical pump as my next door neighbor (same topography and lot size) and it is installed in an identical configuration. The water pressure is great but I have a few questions.
1. I found that I have sufficient pressure to run three aones at the same time. I combined the wires from three valves and wired them to one zone on the Hunter Pro-C controller. Do I risk damaging the controller or the valves by operating in this fashion ???
2. I used a 75 psi pressure relief valve (same as my neighbor). When the pump is running there is a slight flow from the prv and the pressure gauge is at about 90 psi. The maximum operating pressure for the pump is 130 psi. Is there any problem running in this configuration ??? If I need a higher psi prv can you recommend one ???
3. My neighbor's system runs at about 120 psi and his 75 psi prv is not opening. Is there an easy way to test his prv ???
Thanks to everyone for their insights.
