I'm planning to install an underground sprinkler system this year
and I've got a few questions.

First, the regional RainJet representative just passed through Boulder
and there is a promotion on at a local garden/home supply store.
Is there anything especially good/bad about the RainJet product line?

Second, to avoid the cost (and potential errors) involved with plumbing,
I'm considering attaching the system to my outside "boiler valve" hose
connection instead of adding new piping, valves, and holes through my
foundation walls.  I'm aware that you get less gallons per minute with
this arrangement, but my lawn is small and I can still deliver the needed
water volume.  I'm just wondering about the problems with installation
and maintenance with this approach.

Looking forward to garage-sailing my hoses:
