Garden Plumbing Question - Wet Play - Pumps / Pipes / Systems Etc

[Reg Man]

i would also checkout with the childminding side whether a home built system would be considered safe i know friends had to radically change there gardens before being allowed to let children use it

Didn't think of this, Probably need a life guard too LOL. I would be Phoning your local water company first, to check approval with them first. I think this is a lovely idea though.

Thanks all.

We are redoing the whole garden at the moment, concreting it all.
I don't think they mind too much as long as you dont have a pond etc.

If i can get away with mains pressure it will be a lot easier, if I have to use pumps etc ill get it electrically signed off first.

Just 12v solenoids I don't think can do too much damage, they will be housed in the shed anyway.

Regards,

Good Morning Chaps,

Sadly after some testing this isn't going to work with mains pressure.

It shoots out reasonably far from a washing machine 3/4" pipe but once you add some pipe and a solenoid there is just no pressure there, it just comes out the end as a fairly weak stream.

Tap > House > speedfit adapter > 15mm speedfit > solenoid > 15mm speedfit

So I think im going to need some slightly different solenoids and a decent multi stage pump, pref adjustable and self cutoff adjustable pressure system.

So, thoughts gentlemen?

Regards,

Aidan
