We can buy all these components from Pakistan? or do we have to buy it from abroad?

My,my,my, what a sophisticated way of gardening, poor me, a quarter century of gardening without any of these but then I am not a sophisticated gardener.

Just kidding, Where as they are a must in countries where manual help is very expensive it is not as fruitful if you are lucky to have adequate help.
Will be asking for an up date after a year God willing.

Sir my system has been installed for almost two years now at two of the container gardens on ground floor. The rooftop was the most recent project but not the first

It did take quite a bit of read but the funny part is whatever conceivable component u might wonder is needed for your system has already been invented. That's how much work has been done on these systems

Izhar Sb, yes I m sure u can find it all locally. There r big businesses importing these whilst we might not have seen them at large scale.
The systems' initial cost is high but lives for more than 2 decades

I will post pics of my own installation for better understanding. I just tried to buy the cheapest but best in quality. Learned how investing in cheap local one some components eg 1/4" connector was costly in terms of applying silicone at leaks(all this u lol see in pics). So these components I got from Amazon and worked wonderfully

dear talha.The water supply in my area located in Lahore cantt is intermittent and depends on wapda power supply(and Load shedding timing) to the overhead storage tank supplying water to the colony.clearly the timer will not work if not adjusted for water availability manually several times a day unless the system is connected to the tank on top of the roof of my house.but then the stored water for domestic use will be used up for irrigation.how does one address this problem
