Finally got this put in place after all these years, a normal atmospheric vacuum breaker on your normal hose bib Isn't rated for continuous use, and I don't shut it off every night. My wife started noticing some stuff in the kitchen faucet. The problem is when you're on a well on a hot sunny day the pressure in a garden hose can be greater than the cut in pressure of your well pump creating a backflow situation anyway it's code up here to have at least a pressure vacuum breaker on all your irrigation lines
