[QUOTE="SCMtnHaul, post: 8239339, member: 181941"] If there is an elevated portion of your property you could just use gravity to pressurize your system. Yes there are many great 12v and solar options but an elevated water source is very nice because gravity doesn't fail. I've actually had great luck with the battery powered timer/valve combos such as the ones made by Orbit. Just replace the batteries once a month to be safe. I know people who just bought rechargeable batts so they can swap 'em without having to buy more. Remember that if your water has a lot of particulate in it that valves can get stuck open--maybe not fully open but still letting a trickle out. [/QUOTE]
