I'm putting in a drip irrigation system with several zones, automatic valves, and PVC delivery to each zone -- so more involved than just hooking up the drip tube to a hose bib. I'm uncertain where to place the pressure regulator and screen filter, though. Should they go before the pressure vacuum breaker or after (or does it matter)? Can the pressure regulator handle constant pressure, or should I install a "master" valve so the pressure regulator is sandwiched between it and the valve manifold?
The order I was thinking of is:
1) water supply (duh)
2) Pressure vacuum breaker
3) screen filter
4) pressure regulator (this drops pressure to 30 PSI)
5) valve manifold
Or maybe
1) water supply
2) screen filter (to help protect the expensive PVB downstream)
3) pressure regulator (to 30 PSI)
4) pressure vacuum breaker
5) valve manifold
Any thoughts? Thank you!
