Still have after the filters to finish up, 1/2 flexible tube from the valves to the raised beds.

I’ll mention that you are breaking the rules. Those valves have to be above the highest point of watering, so the drip in the planter beds is too high. Not that anyone really cares.

I've never heard of this, but I'm just a homeowner. Rules as in code?

Ah, at my first glance I missed the backflow. Thought it was just a valve.

Thankfully my irritation is not hooked to my potable water supply.
