In my typical over-think-things way, I'm designing a system to distribute water from the barn to 4 stalls, 2 run-in sheds, berry patch, wheat patch, pig wallow, pumpkin patch, and an orchard, using runs of buried PEX, multiple manifolds, brass ball valves, pressure reducers...

7/ Interesting question. I guess the idea is that you get effectively twice the cross sectional area of pipe? In my case, no. Most runs are just going to stalls 20' away. Other runs are going hundreds of feet to orchards, etc. Don't want to buy and bury 2x the PEX. https://twitter.com/k_d_payne/status/996489624263458817 …

Yes, have considered this. Intend to do so in "road pasture" and maybe "cross pasture". Even have some IBC totes on hand. Do NOT intend to do so for things closer to the barn. PEX isn't that expensive, and it'll be nice to not have to refill cisterns.https://twitter.com/BornProblematic/status/996494203986284547 …

9/ The entire system will be disconnected around 15 Nov and drained. It will not operate when freezing weather is possible. https://twitter.com/Cloudswrest/status/996502138787262465 …

I'm sure you're already aware, but the capacitive sensors seem to last longer before corroding. The resistive ones are cheaper though of course!
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Links to the parts when you select them! (I have some Pi shenanigans in mind, but I couldn't find affordable valves, and they're mostly 24 Vac anyway.)

I'm not going that route right now; I'm just keeping an open mind and making sure that the system is architected in a way that allows adding it later.
