Irrigation manifold (orbit) question

Maybe he was trying to let you know that:




¾" Male Adapter X ¾" Female Thread Poly Cam Lever Coupling


¾" Female Coupler X ¾" Male Thread Poly Cam Lever Coupling





You can add these cheap cam lock fittings under the orbit manifolds for quick disconnect, just like the floraflex ones have for cleaning purposes, or swapping for different manifolds/rails, etc..

is it usually the diaphragm itself thats the failure?
I was looking at peristaltic(?) dosers but didnt like the flows and the thought of the tubing being flexed would be a fatigue type of problem.
the precision would be excellent for an automated nute mixer and PH controler though.

I have the same Growtek system, no pump failures. Slick little pumps, but solids in the water can cause the tiny silicone diaphragm valves to leak a little and affect flow rate slightly. They have 5 sets of valves and diaphragms actuated by a swashplate.

I have the system with scales that measure run-off. It can adjust feed volume to maintain a set percentage of run off, but i rarely run it in 'adaptive' mode.
