With this work with a low pressure system (i.e. gravity fed rain barrels)? I know some valves need some line pressure to work, does this?

I'm sure it will work. It's operated entirely by electricity with no apparent need for line pressure.

The valve is normaly close. Electro magnt holds it open when it get the signal from the timer. The valve is spring loaded. Good chance it will work ok as long as no calcium deposit prev3nt it from working freely.if the source of water is faitly free from minirals, i ould try it.

I see no reason for it not to work under water. I own (2) of these and have install quite a few more.Very well made 1 way check valve.

Yes. It operates on a simple principle, pressure from the desired direction passes through while pressure from the opposite direction is blocked and will often activate a release causing "backflow" water to be drained off. Note: If, for example, a hose is attached that has a nozzle at the opposite end, that is closed, then the hose will pressurize and retain its pressure. If the faucet (with the back flow device installed) is turned off, the pressure will remain in the hose until the nozzle is slightly opened (or a connection is loosened) then the internal valve will release the hose pressure through the relief 'vents' in the back flow preventer. This device meets building requirements in many localities where a back flow preventer is required on outdoor water faucets. I use mine with an RV, so that water from the RV side does not enter the city water source side of the valve.

Yes, when the barrel is full further rain goes down the original downspout. It is necessary that the barrel be water/air tight so it can't overflow. During normal, not yet full conditions, water goes into the barrel through the connecting tube as air comes out.

Jandy is not supposed to work in high pressure line, it may leak in high pressure. If the shape of Jandy is like Otega valves that you have, then it should work. Also note that, the flow in Jandy will always have a 90 degree turn. The input is from the base of "T", then you can have the output to left or right or both, which does not suited my purpose, so I returned. My need was to flow straight and divert at 90 degree when in need and this is not suitable for that.

I have not noticed a drop in pressure, I don't use the drip system. I find the units work very well with small sprinkler nozzles.

It should work it doesn't use threads it has the small opening tgat just slides down over the pipe. Tgere is little pressure because the water shoots through the waterfall

No. This device is just an inline solenoid with a timer. You will have to install a small pressure reducing device behind the Raindrip for it to work properly with a drip system.

No reason why it won't. The controller is only providing 28V current to operate the valves. If you use 28V valves it will work. Of course you could use less robust valves than used for lawn sprinklers.However, I thought drip systems stayed on all the time and therefore do not need valves and a controller.

The 0-30 bayou classic should work....but the pressure will be the same for all. Should get separate valves for each thing so you can control individually.

Absolutely. At 40psi and above, the system works very well. If you have more prefilter system(s) before the Hydrologic , then you would need a higher psi.

No. It is only a simple check valve for a water hose type system. If you want to reduce the water pressure, then you would need to insert a restrictive rubber washer or else get a pressure regulator.

Probably not, depending how much higher water barrel is to drop line. I have a small pump inserted in mine. This provides the pressure needed to put water where I need it. Although I have not tried to connect drip irrigation, this may cause a backflow of pressure to the pump.

It only works on the low side. The high side has a different type of valve.

It's a simple on-off dry contact. If your valve supports a simple dry contact it will work. It supports a momentary contact and an open closed configuration. I use it with a garage door opener. I hope this helps.

Not a 100% sure but do not think would work with static water source. It seems to need good water pressure to work effectively. Have noticed that it works best if I open the source valve all the way

The outlet valve is a standard garden hose bib. So with the proper adapter the connection is no problem. As to connecting 1/4" drip tubing; the hydraulics will dictate how well it works. The volume and height of your rain container as well the length of the run and type of drip system will tell you lots. Aside from that, you will need to filter the rain water for the drip system.
