I know that solenoid can be more suitable, but I was preffering mechanical setup at this time, but you are right, maybe I will use solenoid then.
Just a question regarding to pressure drop at checkavalve: can you explain this more deeply please? It mean that if checkvalve have cracking pressure let say 30psi, and pump is 150psi that at nozzle I will have just 120psi pressure?

If you add three checkvalves you will loose 3x checkvalve pressure from the line pressure.
Time to use a solenoid valve. What type of checkvalve is it, is it from McMasterCarr?
