  • Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 22:15:08 +0200

Recently completed building a water purification system using barrels filled
with stone and water plants. Water runs thru 14 barrels that are lined up
serially.

It then fills up 500 liter bucket that I then want to use to water the
garden which is located uphill

I was thinking of using a pump to pump up the water to the computerized
water irrigation system that I currently use to time the watering. However
doing this is now problematic in that I can not hook up the pump to turn on
only when the timed irrigation system turns on. If I cant do this I run the
risk of having the pump on when the system is off and thus bursting a pipe

Any body with experience in this area

All help welcome

Thanx
