I'm building an irrigation system that will have a 1/2 or 3/4 (haven't decided yet) pvc pipe connected to my outdoor faucet, then it'll connect to 1/2 poly tubing and end with imitters or sphegatti lines. I have everything down except the connection between the pvc pipe and water faucet. Can someone show me exactly what parts or adapters i need to make it work? I will also be adding back flow preventer, timer, filter etc.

The water is coming from the concrete slab from hydrostatic pressure underground. This is very typical. You should call a professional to come inspect everything. The inspection is usually free and they diagnose where the water seepage originates.
The water is probably coming from the concrete slab. The water gets to the slab either by condensation or by wicking action from a source of water touching the outside edges of the slab, or both. First, get water away from the outside of the slab. Use trenching or a drain pipe to redirect the water. Make sure sprinklers and drip watering don't reach the slab. Second, seal the outside of the slab with concrete sealer, then paint it. Third, you need to separate the concrete from the wood wall with a water barrier. Sealing the concrete would be good if you can get to all of it, over the entire surface area of the porch. If that's not practical, you will have to create a gap between the concrete slab and the walls and then fill the gap with something that cannot conduct water by wicking, such as a metal or rubber sheet. I don't know if you could create the gap by jacking up the walls and roof. That depends on the manner of connection between the porch and the house. It may be that your only choice will be to use bracing to hold the ceiling, roof and walls up, then cut away the bottom inch of the walls, then fill the gap, then set the weight back down. If it is necessary to fill a large gap, use a thin water barrier and above that add pressure treated and painted decking. Mayan
