Q.Drip Systems
I was wondering what I need to add to my drip system? I have connected a timer to my main line in my backyard but the water flows right through it like it just bypasses the timer and runs like normal. I was wondering what product do I need to add so I can use my timer properly.

Depending on your timer, and your drip system, instructions may differ on setup. I would consult the manufacturer of the drip system, or the timer to obtain instructions on proper use.
Many times, it can be as simple as setting the timer switch from "ON" to "TIMER". But the instructions for both systems will be much more clear on the subject.
