Something I came up with hope it works waiting for tubing, emitters and sprayers to arrive.
Watering system

Looks like it should.
For a system like that with a low pressure electric pump, I find it easiest to skip any sprayer attachments - I just use open ended 1/4” lines. Much less headaches There isn’t enough pressure to make the sprayers work really anyway. And more importantly - they just clog super easily. So any little speck or bit of fluff in the water and your watering system get messed up. If you’re trying to use it for going away on vacation or something this can mean dead plants.
With a small pump it can be very hard to get even pressure at each line. The outlets closer to the pump may water faster than the far ones, etc.

its all on a timer
cool. how often does the timer turn on the pump? I guess it takes some tinkering to figure out frequency and duration.
i could use something like that. tell me how it all works out
