      Bits and pieces are heading my way . I've ordered everything but the   
   hardware to hook my pump outlet pipe to a faucet for a garden hose .   
   That will be purchased locally . I've decided to try throttled flow from   
   the pump instead of using a tank as a reservoir to feed the system . I   
   can throttle main flow at the faucet interface , plus each run of pipe   
   will have a valve from the main supply line and adjustable emitters .
