We have 10 acres that firstly will be used for in ground nursery stock. A well will be be dug soon. We will have solar panals to: 1. run pump 2. run an irrigation timer 3. open and close valves on the system It is a long narrow parcel approx. 308' wide and 1600 ' long with about a max 10-15' grade from the lowest point of the property. What would be the water pressure on a 5000 gallon storage tank without a back up pump for pressure? I will have 2 5000 gal.tanks,set on the ground at the highest point. Would you suggest a low volume pump(less power needed to fill the tank during the sun light hours, and a supplimental pressure tank at my watering times to pressurize? I believe that I will be able to use low pressure drippers on each system. I will need at least 15 psi to open the valves. |
