Mine runs 18 hours a day if I'm watering the lawn, and my bill barely goes up. I want to build an intermittent mist system but the water to our house is from a well nor do I have town water. For those who dont have town water,how do they set up an intermittent mist system without having the pump run day and night. 9just in case you have an idea that involves a pond. The size of bed I want to build is 20'x20'.
All advice is appreciated.
By the way I enjoy your book as much as I enjoy your website. The secret is to have an adequeate storage tank near the well pump. Since the mist system only stays on for a few seconds, you should be able to get quite a few cycles before the pump kicks on. By adding another storage tank with a bladder you can double that time. Your well pump does not use as much electricity as you think.
