Remove the two wood planks @ ~ 11 o'clock & place the RS torch on the planks behind the piston.
It retains the pulse length range of during which water is dispensed (2-11 RS ticks) vs the OP design with (6-27 RS ticks) [As pictured OP design is set to produce a 21 RS tick pulse ]
Moving the first repeater in the line back one space (toward the UR in the pic from Megacrafter107) would provide space for two additional repeaters and increase the available water pulse lengths to 4-19 RS ticks.
If 21 RS ticks is actually the required delay, the first repeater in Megacrafter107's design would need to be two back in order to allow another one or two repeaters.
[Either of these expansions requires enough room that an alternate delay timer can be built, but it is unlikely to be less expensive.
The one I fit into the single step expansion size required two comparators, two hoppers, a sticky piston and a RS block
It does however allow considerably greater flexibilty in setting the pulse length...
One stack (planks) + 46 items (charcoal) in the furnace >> output 9 strenght ; the near hopper (with the sign) 3 stacks + 10 item 'A' & 4 item 'B'; the rear hopper 3 stacks + 10 item 'C' . [Note: only item 'B' can tranfer giving a 4x3.5 = 14 RS tick delay the other 7 RS ticks are added by the two repeaters with the 1 tick delay from the comparator compensating for the RS torch delay.]
Hello redstoners,
I have frankensteined together a piston watergate for my mushroom tower. I included a screenshot. Is there a way to make it smaller?
It activates at sunrise and closes the piston and lets water through. A few seconds later it opens again and stops the water.
Any help is appreciated!

Not sure if this is compact enough but it is a lot smaller.
It activates on sunrise and lets a decent amount of water out before it closes in a couple of seconds.

This is an entirely trivial hack of Megacrafter107's build to make it a bit more compact:

This is slightly smaller, but not as flexible as the standard dropper latch pulse extender https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pulse_circuit#Pulse_extender which I was unable to fit into the single step expansion sized space.]
Thanks both of you for a big amount of help!! I will commence my tinkering as soon as my kids will let me!
