I have a new home (4 years old) with frost free faucets on the outside of the house. I'd like to connect a water timer to one of them to control a sprinkler. However, I noticed a sticker with a disclaimer on the faucet that states that it shouldn't be under constant pressure for more than 12 hours. I have two questions concerning this...
1. What are the potential issues with keeping it under pressure for more than 12 hours? I can live with increased wear-and-tear, but not major water damage...
2. Is setting the system to run 20 minutes every 8 or 12 hours enough to prevent problems?
Thanks in advance! I'm having a very time finding any reasoning for this disclaimer.
