Nice. I figured you were putting in the r&d 
I am going to build both. If the cheap one seems like it won’t last I won’t even offer it. I’d rather tick someone off that I wouldn’t build a cheap one than tick someone off when their box quit on them.

Roger that. I just about gave up on the selenodes after going through three brands with none lasting. The electric ball valve has done me right so far. Knock on wood

Have you done any more work on this or are you just battling the snow right now.

Battling the snow is a very nice way to say that Mother Nature is kickin my butt…
I have a backlog of things to do, but I have hope that I can start the builds late next month.

I have the 3 way electric ball valve picked out. The valve alone is nearly $300 but it won’t fail like others. We will see where the build takes us and go from there.

If you have one normally open and one normally closed valve then when you energize them both they do the opposite. It to me seems as simple as wireing them to the same leg. Obviously your n/o would be water so you can pre soak plants, grass, and flush you’r injector while not using any battery. As soon as you hit your remote both valves get energized so your normally open water valve closes and your normally closed sh valve opens.

That works in theory. But why have 2 cheaper $20-$50 valves when you can have a name brand trusted valve? I was designing what you explained here and I just decided it was too many moving parts to rely on.
I’m not too familiar with what these valves can handle but some are for acids and chem usage. I figured if I buy 4 and use pex connections, a swap would only take minutes.
Then of course move to a different valve mfg. Research and development if you will.
@marinegrunt i seen you have a video on your channel with a 3 way poly valve remote injector. Thats pretty smart. Way cheaper to change out if one goes bad. Did you make that or is it someone else’s video? Im looking to make or buy a remote DS but im undecided on what to go with.
@SchertzServicesLLC is to busy faking sick so he can play videos instead of making remote boxes.

Mine isn’t nearly as fancy or robust as Chris’s remote down stream injector but by Friday I’ll have a video up On my YouTube channel on how to make one for under $50.
If you want one you don’t have to fix every 4-5 months stick with Schertz.

You sure didn’t laugh at the last video I posted and it’s the best one. Looks like your Gators made up for it over the weekend though.
