I'm throwing together a couple last minute drip system so I can go away for a few days. Would like some opinions to see if there's any problems I overlooked. It's all soil, so I'm just running ro water.
First system is going to have a 400 gph pond pump in an insulated 18 gal tote, run out through a 1/2" pvc riser, 90deg, to 1/2" blk tubing, appx 6', that's going to Tee to out to two 1/2" feeder lines, appx 8', that will each end in a 6 port drip manifold on a 18" pvc riser. Each manifold port will have a 1/4" line, appx 4', feeding a 2' coil of 1/4" drip line in a single bucket.
Second system will be run directly off my ro tank and pump, something like 1200gph?, feeding another 6 port manifold. I have more than 6 i need to water, so I'm going to daisy chain a complete circuit of 1/4" drip line, unknown length...15'?.. around them, with 6 Tees inline, all fed from the manifold, appx 6' each of 1/4" line. Should create a fairy even flow across the system right?
All systems will be balanced as close as possible, same length feeder lines, drip rings, risers, etc.
I just need to figure out what it's actually going to flow and my timer settings..... And get it built and dialed in within the next, oh, 20 hrs? No prob....
