Will this unit tell me how long it takes to drip ring water a new tree to produce 5 gallons at 25 psi?

No. It's just a timer for a drip system. You set the amount of time you want the water on, time of day, and days of week.

Package says for established fruit trees: "Use 1 cup (approx. 1/2 lb. ) for every inch of trunk diameter (measured at 4"-6" above the soil line). Work into the soil gently inside of the drip line. Water thoroughly." Apply every 3 months throughout the growing season. The package is 4 pounds (or about 8 cups).

Yes it can work.. Palms need alot of water so you might have to add extra water emitters to the drip line. If they are huge palm trees then you will need bubbler for each palm tree you have!

Yes. As long as each device has it's own regulator. The high pressure of the tank needs to be regulated. If the tree is after the regulator you may have flow issues depending on the number of devices attached. We use one tank for several devices but each device has it's own regulator

1. a traditional drip system is regulated to between 10 and 30 psi with most regulators at around 15-20 psi. This hose is probably best run at about 30 psi max. True Water pressure measurements are a little more complicated (static vs dynamic) and depend on flow rates, other parameters, but the bottom line is that this hose can be used with a drip regulator or by closing the hose bibb about halfway. I bought three, at one point all were subjected to full water pressure (90 psi). Two of the three failed. These hoses are nice because they are more flexible than the recycled rubber versions but the cost and failure rate caused me to switch to the recycled rubber versions. Without a regulator, you might accidentally turn them up too high.

Yes to both of your questions! It also has a feature called cycle and soak, which will divide your total run time up into smaller cycles, giving the soil time to absorb. A great feature for getting the most watering out of your water restriction days. Since you are only running two or three days a week, you'll just set your run times higher then you would if you were running every day. That way when the software adjusts down for weather, it's not decreasing your watering too much. We love ours so much!

I am not sure what you are asking, it would depend on your water pressure, I have read a Q/A on another site, the person has 40 psi water pressure, and the answers says it is good enough pressure, and you should get 1.5 gal per minute with this faucet. Hope this helps.

Pre-installed 0.5 G (1.9 L) per hour emitters installed every 6" (15.2 cm) deliver precise amounts of water See http://www.toro.com/en-us/homeowner/do-it-yourself-irrigation/drip/pages/model.aspx?pid=53640-one-quarter-inch-tubing-with--emitters I usually run my setup for 2 to 2.5 hours once or twice a week for a deep soaking. You will need to regulate your flow or pressure to prevent the lines from blowing unless you have several running simultaneously.

These sensors have only been tested with water. The drip time is approximately 6 to 10 hours per water sensor.

I live in southern cali, and for the first few days it made about a gallon or so of water. I used the included hose to drain into a 2 gallon bucket. But after having it on for a few days the amount of water it generated was very minimal and it had simply evaporated before i even got a chance to dump the water. Im very happy with the unit.

The instructions say measure circ. of tree at 4.5 ft. from ground. Use 1 fluid ounce per each inch of circ.

it needs to have about 2400psi up to 3300 max,,, also your gallons per minute need to be over 2.2 at least, for this to work the way it needs to

Yes. I have it hooked to my rainwater tank and it just turns on when the drip system goes on and there is demand for water. Okay if it runs dry, too.

Tap water, 1L, 5 minutes to full boil, timed with stopwatch. Doubted my results after seeing other answers, repeated with fresh water...same result.

You turn the dial to the desired watering length and day interval AT THE TIME YOU WANT IT TO WATER. The timer will then operate at that time. For example, if you want to water at 4:00 AM, you'll have to get up at 4:00 AM and turn it on the first time.

Actually it has a 30 minute watering button on the side labeled "30 min water cycle." You press that, it gives you about 15 seconds to leave the area, then it waters for 30 minutes. A pretty cool feature!

Generally drip systems are designed to work well at 25 psig and if you give them a lot more than that, they can fail.
