Unfortunately 0.8 Mpa would probably explode most of the 1/4" irrigation plugs.Īlso, the solenoid was hot to touch after my initial tests (about 10 minutes of use). This solenoid's data sheet (well, the 1/2" version listed anyways) says it needs 0.8 Mpa to reach 35 lpm.
I'm assuming it's because my hose is probably running at around 0.3 Mpa, and my flow rate is supposed to be around 22 lpm.
If the solenoid is switched off and then on again, the pressure is good for another 30 seconds. After those thirty seconds, the pressure drops dramatically to about 30%, and all the sprinklers and sprayers just start spurting little puddles. I ran this off a garden hose with ample pressure to the garden irrigation I've set up, off of a 12v 3.3amp PSU.įor the first 30 seconds or so after switching the valve on, the pressure is about 80% of what it was before the solenoid was installed.
