Need some help please. I've been googling this and can't find anything. Right now I have two hose spigots on my house. they are plumbed with 1/2" pex. I'm trying to establish my yard and don't wanna throw down on a in ground sprinkler system. So i bought a splitter for each spigot and laid out some hoses with sprinklers attached. The idea was i could walk up, crack on the spigot, and all the sprinklers would water my grass.
only problem is not enough gallons to power more than one sprinkler. So i wanted to plumb in new spigots with 3/4 pex and maybe have a better result. The guy at my home store said no one makes an anti freeze type spigot that will have better flow. he also said that plumbing even the spigot i have now with 3/4 pex (instead of 1/2) will not give me any advantage. is he right?
he showed me how i could plumb a spigot with bigger diameter supply line but it would have to be winterized. I wanted to kinda stay away from that. we have crazy weather sometimes. I've cut my grass the day before a blizzard.
thanks for any help.
