Random #Drip #Irrigation question to the #Fediverse hive mind to follow-on Ben's post.
I need a (likely, magnetic drive northridgepumps.com/article-36… ) pump to pressurize water from 4 rain barrels to deliver to my garden's drip irrigation system. Not sure how much pump capacity or pressure or flow I need, so many variables - I looked at Grainger and McMaster-Carr, but TMI 🤷
Once I get the pump, everything else should be simple valve/hose fitting hookups and a timer.
Garden info: Beds are about 1.5' drop, 20 to 80 foot run via garden hose and 1/2" drip line trunk into 1/4" drippers every 12" for ~250 plants.
Here are some pumps I am considering (note: not going to order from Amazon if I can help it)
