So, the project "pimp my infiltration shaft" is almost completed. To make the whole thing perfect, I wanted to give you feedback on my questions regarding the well and irrigation about how I solved it.

Starting point: Desire for a well with which the garden can then be automatically irrigated. The position for the well was finally determined to be the existing infiltration shaft behind the garage.

The infiltration shaft is 4m deep. The pipe was driven another 4.5 meters and stands about 1.8 m in water in spring. So I have this 1.8 m reserve in case the water level drops in August. But I don't believe it because exactly here, about 200m² roof area infiltrates. This is how it looked after drilling the well. We left the pipe sticking out about 1.5 meters.

Then a platform was built at half height on which the pump stands. All the valve technology also went in there. In this process, I also laid a 110 KG pipe for the future terrace roof drainage. Not nicely arranged at the moment. Through the fixed HT_pipe the future lawn mower will get power, which will then stand directly above it. Through the flexible HT pipe an extraction is planned. The discs I laid out to the fence via HT pipe. In the infiltration shaft, it is quite damp. Therefore, it is planned to install a fan in the HT pipe and blow the air out of the infiltration shaft 1-2 times a day for 5 minutes. Dry air flows in through the shaft cover due to negative pressure. Controlled indoor ventilation for infiltration shaft :)

Due to the moisture in the infiltration shaft, I therefore moved the valve control to the garage. Control runs via a Sonoff smart WiFi switch (55€). In addition, a transformer for 24 V alternating current for the Hunter valves. All on the DIN rail. Overall for under 100€. The ready-made solutions from Hunter were significantly more expensive. I also switch the garden lighting with it, which is an advantage for me. I must say I am very satisfied with how reliably it works.

Irrigation was realized with 4 circuits. 3 for sprinkling and the 4th circuit for 4 water sockets in the garden. Hunter MP rotators. Supply line 25 mm pipe.

Then sow the lawn, sit on the terrace, a beer in one hand, a mobile phone in the other and water flow! :)

One week after sowing, first shoots: After 3 weeks everything green. :)

Thanks again to everyone. Especially you, rick2018

Please pour out the junction box as soon as the function is ensured.

Please seal the junction box once the function is ensured.

Already done :) with silicone.
The 5-word rule is so annoying…

With silicone? That's actually not the right thing. More like resin or better [Aquasit]. That stays flexible.

My electrician buddy recommended it to me. But I don't worry because it's only 24V and in the infiltration shaft.
