- In this video we're gonna be installing a Rain Bird PRF-075 3/4" pressure regulating wye filter on each zone to convert them to drip control zone kits.

You just made my day a hell of a lot easier. Thanks!
Leo Seo awesome! Glad this video helped. If you would like to see specific videos, feel free to ask for them.
Thank you so much, that just made my DIY’er a lot easier!!!
Charlie Espinoza you’re welcome! Glad it helped you out.
NOTICE: For anyone watching this do not cover the hole back until you pressure test first and check for leaks. If it turns out you have leaks you will have to dig up your hole again. Check your work first.
I probably should have mentioned that. Thanks!
@@landscapeprofessionalsnetw721 What kinds of fixes could you do if there were leaks?
really good videos. So easy to understand. Would love to see more on drip irrigation and the parts/techniques to assemble. I've had mixed results with all the pieces and water leaks. Also, more info on how to calculate water pressure and # of emitters etc.. Thx Again
David Morgan Thank you. I’m glad they’re helping out. A lot of the water leaks tend to come from excessive water pressure or un proper threading. I will go ahead and film some basic videos on drip irrigation and unload them ASAP.
Converting my sprinklers to drip irrigation and wondering if I should go through the trouble of finding a low flow anti siphon valve (haven't had any luck finding them at the stores; only a couple places online seem to carry them) or just go with a regular anti siphon valve. Either way, I will use the 30 psi pressure regulator/filter. Thoughts?
Mcc all Day!
San Agustin Gutierrez you know it!
Can it be used as a fertilizer feeder? If so, would you have to install it reversed?
Is this only necessary when installing drip irrigation? I'm installing regular MPR nozzles into Rain Bird 1800 sprays and I seem to be getting a lot of misting. Will a 30 PSI regulator at the valve fix this or will that be too low for all of the sprinkler heads combined?
It’s always necessary when installing drip irrigation unless you already have a crazy low pressure, then you can use a regular wye filter without regulation since it wouldn’t be needed.
In your case, you have a couple of options. You can use the pressure regulated filter on the valve for the spray nozzles but you’ll have to remember that spray heads need 30 to work efficiently. If you start with 30 psi at the filter, by the time the water travels through the pipe to the last sprinkler, the pressure will drop due to friction loss and make the sprinklers operate at a lower recommended pressure than what rain bird recommends making them “inefficient”. What I would do is either of the following two methods. Either install a pressure regulator for the entire system to regulate it all together with something like a Watts 70XLDU pressure regulation or install Rain Bird 1804 PRS on every body to individually regulate every single sprinkler head knowing for sure you’re getting 30 psi at every nozzle. Hope this helps
Now that you've added the pressure/filter inline, can you convert the 1/2" sprinkler connection to drip? Which part would you use to go from a standard 1/2" sprinkler riser to 1/2" poly? I'm converting one sprinkler head to 1/2" poly for drip, and debating putting in an irrigation box with this same pressure/filter combo at the sprinkler head, or doing it at the valve as you show in this video.
Eric B you have a couple of choices on this. You can install a pressure regulating filter like I did on this video and that will filter and regulate the entire zone or you can install an Rain Bird Retro Fit Kit onto a sprinkler head and covert the zone to drip from there. ...... Once you install the filter Iike I did on this video, you can make it convert into drip tubing with a threaded pvc fittings and threading a thread x barb adapter to the pvc fitting. The threaded part will go into the pvc fitting and the barb side will go into the poly pipe or “drip” tubing. Hope this answers your question
Landscape Professional's Network sure does, thanks!
Hey man, thanks again. Put in the regulator earlier today, passed pressure test. My first PVC project. Not as pretty as yours, lots of primer drip but it works. Trenched out my yard and will run poly tomorrow morning. Have a great weekend :)
Eric B That’s awesome!! I’m glad the video helped you. Feel free to contact us if you have any more questions.
Would you know what the small white tabs on the sides are for?
That’s the actual filter pressure regulator of the filter.
Great video. Where can I get an estimate?
An estimate for installation?
Hey, the pressure in my water pump in the agriculture is too much, i have to pressure out 1inch of water to maintain the required pressure, the water goes wasted do u have any suggestion please
ANAND KUMAR M.P You can add an inline brass pressure regulator at the start of the system. You can also regulate the pressure on the pump.
you only need to do one for demonstration to save time.
