I had planned to use 1" poly pipe to distribute the water around my small piece of acreage, with a max run of up to 500 feet or so. Problem is, I can't find 1" poly in anything longer that 100' pieces. And the thought of burying all those pipe connections (with their potential to require redigging if they should ever leak) just doesn't work for me.
So I'm thinking of stepping down to 3/4" poly pipe, which I can find in abundance in long rolls. So my question:
Is there a significant disadavantage or flow difference to the 3/4" pipe vs the 1"? In my situation (a weekend cabin), I normally won't have very high demand. And at the farthest end of the line I'll be running nothing more than a sprinkler.
Also, are there some other places I should be looking for poly pipe? I've hit the local Lowes, HD, and Tractor Supply, already.
Thanks,
