Discrepancy in Drip Line Water Flow

11 years ago

Over the weekend I installed some drip line in my garden. I got about half way done when I noticed a discrepancy in the amount of flow coming out of the line when I performed a flush. After about 80', there was plenty of water flow coming out of the open end of the tubing, but after another 35' or so, there was a noticeable drop. Could that be attributed to the extra length of drip line, or does this indicate a problem in the line somewhere after the initial 80'? (After the initial 80', the line goes under ground for about eight feet, and if there's a problem, my guess is it's here.)

Will the drop in water flow be an issue once the line is completed (about 300') and the line is able to pressurize? Or do I have some digging to do?
