Picked up some pipe yesterday. Today we are going to start laying it out on the big track. With the summer coming we are going to try and make sure the track is watered every weekend.

Well, it's about done. We can now water about 75% of the track via high pressure hoses. Now the base is done, in time we can start adding sprinklers etc. Right now it's going to be great to be able to water the track without driving the water truck around too much.

Paul, What kind of pump do you use to get that much water volume to circulate the entire track.... thats alot of water that has to get pushed a long way... dont worry, there is NO under lying joke there anywhere. :ThumbsUp.gif

Got a 3" trash pump in the pond right next to the table top. We are using 1-1/2" pipe. We have 3 zones and even running 2 zones together (one with a 243' 1-1/2" fire hose on the end), we get a good volume of water.

Being pretty much in the middle, non of the runs are that long.
