I think the next step is to have an emergency plan if your sytsem fails and it starts to leak.
At every joint you'll have possibility of failure, please think of a failsafe for each. Or just get a waterflood insurance for the lab...
Have fun,

Quick status update:- We've received all of the actuators we need to make the automatic watering system. I'm in the lab controlling the solenoid valves with Max.- Laura and I went shopping today and bought what we thought were the proper adapters so that we can start taking water from the cistern, but we made a mistake in measuring the outlet, so we will need to go back and buy another adapter. The system is roughly this: [Cistern] --> [adapter to 1"] --(black tube)--> [master shut-off valve] --> [flow limiter] --> [adapter to 1/4"]. Once we have the last piece, will be able to fill the cistern and sketch the system with drip valves! Next step is to figure out how to jack water from next door and pipe it through a hose to the cistern (it may require removing the faucet).- RepRap parts were shipped this week.
