2 different water sources

Hi,


I have the netro connected to one water source.

Now I am going to install a vertical garden with very low flow and I want the source of water to be a different one from the main source for the garden.


Is there a way I can connect it as an independent solenoide valve that doesn't need to have the master turned on ?


Thank you,

Carlos

I Carlos,

that I know of.  the master always activates to supply the flow of water to the zones that are activated at that moment.  in addition to the garden system, I connected an area with drip irrigation by installing a valve with flow regulation.

Thank you Andrea. But if that valve for the drip irrigation is connected to a different water source, it should work, right ? The problem is that the master valve will activate the other source which is not needed for that specific zone.

By the way, I assume you program the drip irrigation manualy, right ?

if I understand correctly, you have two water inlets, the first is connected to the master valve, the second water inlet is connected to a zone valve. Quite right?

That's correct.

Hi Carlos,
I don't see the problem, it is true that when the zones are activated, the master valve is automatically activated, when the zone where the second water inlet is connected is activated, the master is activated but does not involve anything, because the affected area takes water from the second entrance. I send you my email so you send me photos of your plant.

Good morning Carlos, if necessary I'll take it, I made a quote for a garden, next week they should confirm it. I wonder why 12 zones? 6 areas are already many.
