RC Al wrote:With the tower, What diameter of pipe are you connecting to with the garden hose on the top of the unit? The manifolds look like 19mm? Dose it neck down from that at all? If it's 10mm or under, you might have to do some bigger piping in there to get the flow rate up.

Oh and if you go to the rural irrigation section (usually next to copper/brass section) vs the garden irrigation section at big green shed, they sell better quality hose clamps cheaper in that isle
