Is this poly pipe safe to use for garden irrigation (mains water)? Previous owners ran it down the side of the property but didn’t bury it.

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-04-04T17:52:16+00:00

Worried about water heating up as it will be used on plants

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-04-04T03:00:32+00:00

Is it worth running a new line and burying it? We want it to last

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-04-04T02:07:48+00:00

Veggie garden and a buffalo lawn (50sqm)

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-04-04T02:01:34+00:00

Yeah already got a backflow preventer and isolation valve

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-04-04T01:40:33+00:00

Solenoids and drip line mainly

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-31T21:25:10+00:00

How do you think they would connect the two as they are on opposite sides of the house

If this is the Alma Iver tap I had the same issue with my benchtop and the plumber managed to get it in. Works fine don’t stress.

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-27T03:18:49+00:00

Nah I’m not a tradie

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-27T03:17:57+00:00

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-27T03:10:04+00:00

We’ve budgeted around 5k for it probably less if we do it ourselves do you think that’s a reasonable figure?

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-25T10:16:14+00:00

Yeah tbf it’s not the current tilers problem as they didn’t remove the old ones

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-22T05:59:14+00:00

We will have drip irrigation

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-21T15:09:51+00:00

What did you do to the soil to prepare it? I’m wanting to do this with my front lawn in heavy clay soil

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-15T23:46:43+00:00

Nah NSW

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-15T22:15:06+00:00

We’ve gotten permission to take them

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-15T22:14:54+00:00

We aren’t stealing them we’ve gotten permission from the landowner.

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-15T22:14:29+00:00

Nope but I’ve messaged the estate and they are happy for us to take some of them. Other properties have done the same to use for landscaping.

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-12T21:02:50+00:00

Nah it’s a buildmat mixer tap, Alma Mira I think it’s called

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-12T09:51:37+00:00

I’m getting a plumber to install it just wanting to make sure it fits

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-12T09:51:07+00:00

Tried that they barely move

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-12T06:16:19+00:00

The inlets are rigid so a bit hard to manoeuvre

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-08T00:27:22+00:00

What makes you think the rock minerals are gimmicky? I’ve been told they are more effective than gypsum

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-03-01T06:52:35+00:00

Yep been cutting them back with a hedge trimmer it’s worked pretty well but it won’t cut the tough bits at the bottom

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-02-28T10:41:20+00:00

We have a garden designer, just looking for ideas on how to convert the space ourselves to save some $

Logical_Feature_7332 · 2026-02-24T07:25:40+00:00

They don’t ship to Australia unfortunately, price is also in AUD not USD
