Yes, it's a reg. to prevent any back syphoning. ... But no different to a Std garden hose etc. And most don't bother with those.

kiss I can't remember ever watering plants.

Trace heater for the solenoid?

Personally I'd see the solenoid as a potential weak/leak spot and I'd look to have it outside if at all possible.

Like the manifold. Ifttt is ideal for the sonoff with something like Weather Underground. Or even on the schedule for sunset with inching set up.

.. This one

What timer are you using and what voltage is the solenoid? Eta just seen the remote, I have a similar one in the garage, little 12v relay and 2 remotes marked A and B iirc, bang good special.

As soon as this social distancing is over. I'll be round with your Christmas card and a backhander.

Gets brittle but lots of pubs use it? Guessing maybe uv rated but probably not due to it not being critical?

Solenoids are OK and cost effective but they shut the water off suddenly and this has potential to exaggerate any weak points, tbh for 10mm I doubt it'll be an issue. I've used these with the manual override due to the application, cheap and cheerful. https://solenoid-valve.world/product/820/connexion/12-electrically-actuated-ball-valve-9-24vacdc-or-110-240vac-abvm04s

Lol I've just been doing a pir activated motorised valve jobby, issue with the solenoids are hammer when they are activated.

And yet you keep returning.

Regs are possibly too advanced and niche for you.

Says UK in the title.

In the litter tray hopefully. Can't beat a tray full of shit in a house.

Ah, so not branded as such.

Sitting in the shade.

You bought fakes before?

Same, especially sitting out in the sun. Always effects me more in the heat.

Yeah too early for me.

Was that just from your own clipart collection?
