Drip pressure

10 years ago

Hi All!


Just planted 8 trees at the bottom of a hill and made drip rings with 10 flag emitters that are rated at 4gph per ring, around each tree. Water is coming down the hill from a hose that is run roughly 100 feet, connecting to 1/2 hose. Two 1/2 lines are run, with 4 rings per line. Rings are also 1/2.


There is barely enough pressure to run one ring, with anticipation of running all 8 on an automated timer when gone on vacation etc.


is this possible? Do I need to run smaller hose and smaller emitters?


If I use a 220 gallon tote with a submersible pump connected to 1/2 line, will this be better?


Any help is appreciated!!
