- I change my failed ball valve zero pressure watering timer in this video for a different type and brand. I talk about different types of valves for the timers and show you how I installed the timer. How much psi or bar does the water come put of the IBC tote?
That is a great explanation, Brian! How to take care of your water tank and use your water efficiently!!
Water is gold round these parts.
Love the Papaya sunset😍
One of the best!

Pro is a stretch!😅 Thanks!
this video just saved my plans! how long do the batteries last on that old, single regulator? thank you!
I just change them once a year because I'm afraid that they May run out while I'm away, so I don't really know. At least a year, could be much more. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂👍 Garden on!
@@BriansGreenGarden OMG, a year! :D I was worried I'll have to go and change them like every two weeks :D Thanks, this setup is the way to go for me.
Great! Let me know how it works for you.🙂👍🌱🚰
Hi Brian, I have a question. I want to buy an IBC tank, connect a 16 mm hose and use this Aqualin water timer. What should be the minimum height difference between the IBC tank and the outflow opening of the hose?
Great question Gerard. I have mine about 3 metres up a hill. That helps quite a bit but it's still a little less pressure than I would like. The higher the better if your property allow it. If you have more than one IBC you could stack them. I've included a link I found about stacking them which includes some other useful info. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@BriansGreenGarden Thank you for your very quick answer. But we live in the Netherlands and there are no hills or mountains here... So I have no more options than, for example, a stack of tiles 50-60-70 cm high. Isn't that enough to keep the water flowing?
Every little bit helps. You could look into a water pressure pump perhaps. I've never used one but I think they exist. If you don6have electricity in your garden you might think about solar powered. Sorry I don't have details. Just planting the seed as they say.😀👍🪴
