Can I connect several weeper hoses together without diminishing the water flow?

I have two 50-foot hoses together and have no issues. The issues only occur if you have a kink. This is my third year using them and I have found that it is best to place the hose while it is under pressure. Sure you get wet, but you aren't fixing all the kinks later.

No, the water flow will diminish. However, you can switch ends that you put the hose in each time you water and it works out pretty well.

The weeper hose I bought was so poor working that I quit using it altogether. The water does not flow evenly, no matter what they say, especially the longer ones. If I were you, I would not buy this hose at all.A drip system is much better, but also more expensive. Hope this helps.

Yes. It depends on your water pressure. Also 2 to 3 poses Max at 25 feet each.

Yes, you can connect multiple soaker hoses together. I have some connected in my garden right now, brands mixed and matched I've collected over the last few years, and it works fine. I used the plastic end cap to close off a leaky spigot until I can get it fixed, it fits.

That depends on your water pressure but honestly I doubt that you will be able to have four heads working simultaneously off one hose. Also keep in mind that you will not get the specified throw off the sprinkler heads if you try running four at one time, so even if you had the pressure to do so, you would only be watering a small areaō

Yes. We have done exactly that. Just don't raise the end of the hose higher than the water level as you need the natural water pressure for it to work (no pumps are included).

No. I rigged something up to do exactly what you're asking and found that I didn't get even close to enough pressure/flow to my mini sprinkler or drippers. You really need the half inch and then use the barb coupling to come off that line to the 1/4. This will save you a lot of trouble.

Having bought and installed two of these kits with the hose fittings arranged on the bottom without any problems with water flow, I do not see why you couldn't.

You are correct that the first sprayer gets more water than the other two -- there may be a way to "tune" them with the nozzels but I've never tried it because I don't need to -- I don't place them the full hose length apart but bring the two that have lesser spray closer together so I end up with basically an even spray -- they are not high tech but do the job --

You can only do this with a pressure reducer. These work much better with gravity feed. I looked but was unable to find a pressure reducer that lowered the water pressure enough do they didn't leak a lot

I think that you may use a Y-connector--generally, those are intended for two garden hoses for homes. Such a Y-connector would have a valve for each side (H/C). You may need to attach small hoses to the outlets in order to attach the Y-connector--perhaps conventional washing machine hoses.. People with other models have mentioned this solution, anyway.

No. These are not flow-control devices, only connectors. The pressure needs to be shut off first... I don't think it will disconnect if pressure exists. FWIW, after getting used to these connectors I am never going back to using the thread-on thread-off attachments.

Raise water container until you get flow (assuming the pipe and drippers are not clogged)

No but make sure the hose is rated for the incoming pressure (typically not an issue).

No you don't. You can adjust the flow separately to each outlet. 80 P.S.I. Is really high pressure. In our area 65 is recommended and we run at 70 p.S.I

No-the hose/vacuum port, release valve, and pressure guage are all-in-one...a bit of a design flaw I'm afraid.

You can control the flow rate for each line, independently, yes. Orbit and DIG, and possibly Rain Birds make a pressure reduction unit. Its just a black piece of plastic about the size of a PVC joint. I havent used one in a while so I dont know what you'd need to do to install it before this manifold, but it shouldnt be difficult. Seems like they were less than 10 dollars. I'd try it if you were worried about the pressure being too much in the manifold.

If you only used 1 weeper hose, you would probably have to let it weep overnight. The weep path is not very wide and when you turn up the water pressure to make a wider path a "hole" blows out the hose and most of your water goes in one place. I actually purchased 5 of these hoses last year and have now switched to the green Andrews soaker hoses. you can use these right side up for about a 5 ft coverage or hose facing down (so it doesn't get water on the leaves, flowers, veggies, etc) Facing down it takes approx 4 hours to thoroughly soak a 22 inch area. I have had very good luck with the old fashioned green soaker hose made by Andrews. Amazon carries them at a very reasonable price.

As long as the fittings are standard for hose (like laundry room), then yes. However, diverting water to something else (another shower) and this panel would restrict flow to this. The overhead shower and hand held maybe ok, but the nozzles need the full flow.
