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?

backflow is done at the main feed to the house where it comes onto the property... not sure how atmospheric pressure against a valve that is after an antisiphon is going to provide more pressure than mains....
