I would like to lower the anti-siphon valve for our irrigation system (which I am overhauling / replacing). Is there a guideline for the height that it should be located at? If my sprinkler valves have anti-siphon devices, do I need one on the main supply line? Is it better to have one on the supply line and just use in-line sprinkler valves?
Also, should I use a pressure regulator in the main supply line? What is the recommended pressure for garden / lawn irrigation?
