Multi-Garden Grid™ Connection Manifold

You only need a manifold if you need to supply water to multiple Garden Grids™ or in any garden bed that is above 15” tall (this prevents a heavy hose from hanging off of your Garden Grid’s connector, which is about 13.5” long).

A Single Manifold is all you need for a single Garden Grid™ or a Double Manifold for two Garden Grids™ if they are side-by-side.

Not necessarily. If you only have one Garden Grid™ and no plans to connect more, you can attach your garden hose directly to it. A Single Manifold isn’t required — but it does keep the connection tidier, prevents your hose from hanging mid-air on taller raised beds, and makes it easy to expand later if you add more Garden Grids™.

That depends on your water pressure (PSI) and flow rate. As a general guide, with 35 PSI from a 5/8" garden hose, you can conservatively run:

6 - 4x4 Garden Grids™ or the equivalent, 3 - 4x8 Garden Grids™

For larger gardens, if your water source can’t run them all at once, you can:

• Use a hose splitter to divide your system into smaller sections.
• Or simply turn some manifolds on first, then swap to the next group once the first is finished.
  

Either way, the Garden Grid™ Manifold keeps even very large gardens manageable and well-watered.

This varies. 

Situation 1: Double Manifold – The manifold will sit in the middle of the two side-by-side Garden Grids that you're attaching to it. Measure from that point to where you need the hose to go. 

Situation 2: Single Manifold – The manifold will sit at the corner of the Garden Grid or 30” from the end of The Garden Grid™ if you rotate the Garden Grid’s™ water feed tube toward the middle. See Below. Measure from that point to where you need the hose to go. 

The bottom of each manifold has an inlet and outlet for garden hoses. Connect a garden hose to the outlet side (capped side) and feed it to your other garden. Connect that hose to another Manfiold, or directly to a Garden Grid™.

In short, yes! You can feed water to the Garden Grid™ Manifold from nearly any water source. The most common of course is a garden hose from your spigot.

You can feed water to the Garden Grid™ Manifold from your sprinkler system or existing irrigation as long as you have a garden hose adaptor. From this adaptor you can simply run a garden hose to your Garden Grid™ Manifold, or connect it directly. Watch how here.

Who is required to display a Prop 65 notice?

Proposition 65 requires companies to put this notice on their products if there is any ingredient that tests over 1/1000th of what the World Health Organization deems as “Safe Harbor Levels” of their list of chemicals, which includes some naturally occurring minerals. While many countries and states rely on federal governing bodies to set these levels in place, California has created their own law and stipulations that companies must adhere to if they plan to do business in the state of California. No other state or country enforces Proposition 65 law aside from the state of California. When a company includes a Proposition 65 warning notice on a product page or label, it does not mean the product is unsafe. The warning notice is included to inform California consumers of the presence of a Proposition 65-listed chemical so the consumer can make an informed decision when purchasing the product.

California’s PROP 65

Formerly known as Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, Proposition 65 requires the publication of a list of chemicals that the State of California determines causes cancer or birth defects. They also require companies that sell products that contain those chemicals to inform California residents about the risk of exposure to such chemicals by including a warning notice on the product label, or to inform the customer in an approved way before purchase. Proposition 65 warning notices can be seen all throughout California in restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, bars, schools, hospitals, amusement parks and on products such as lumber, pre-packaged food, various hardware, supplements, clothing, etc.

Our California Prop 65 Notice

⚠WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth-defects. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Although some Garden In Minutes products may have a Proposition 65 warning notice, the materials used in our products such as LLDPE tubing, ABS fittings, Stainless Steel, etc. are commonly used in everyday life, organic gardening, and even drinking water lines. Despite this, we add a Prop 65 warning to our product pages for Californians out of an over abunance of caution as a growing family company who cares about our customer. Thanks!
