Default Rural Irrigation/Remote Faucets Methods ??

Thanks David, and the others. First, I don't know what a "nym" is,
but sorry....

My faucets at the cabin are based on the cabin water system, which is
a well, with a pressure tank in the basement. I get good pressure (60 psi),
and the poly pipe will not go uphill.

As for drilling a new well, come on guys, I am talking about watering
a few plants and bushes, I just dont' want to constantly drag hoses
around. That is all that this is about. I do appreciate all the
help, and I think that the polypipe is my best bet, although David's
last comments may make me consider smaller, perhaps 3/4 inch. BTW, I don't
need much pressure at the end, just enough to do some
light watering.


My recommendation - stick with the 1". You won't get much pressure/volume
through the 3/4". The cost difference is not that big.
