> The water goes in from the frost-free at house pressure which on my
water association is fairly low. Initially yes there were problems with
irregularities in the runs, these were solved by placing a "regulator"
on the main input hose. (simple devise about $10, available at garden
places) I also now limit the runs to 150-200 feet.
