Have shower...Water garden

Step 3 Linking big pipe to little pipe

If you don't mind PVC pipe running across your yard then you can skip ahead to Step 5. Steps 3 and 4 are just a way to minimise the visual impact of having pipes running across the yard. If you do use the 19mm-3/4 inch poly pipe, after a couple of years there will be a sludge build up in the poly pipe. It can be disconnected from the PVC pipe and hosed out.

Cut the bottom off a small soft drink bottle so that the bottle fits snugly over the PVC pipe. Put one end of some flexible type garden irrigation 19mm-3/4 inch poly pipe into the neck of the soft drink bottle.

I found a small Coca cola bottle to be perfect. Other brands didn't fit snugly. Things could be different where you are so you may need to experiment. Once you find a brand and size that fits, collect a few in case you need to replace it. Reasons to replace: accident when mowing lawn, curious dog, degradation due to sunlight.

I made this system in late 2004 so unfortunately don't remember the size of the bottle.
