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.

I was suggesting that 1" could be too small not too big. 3/4" will
flatten and kink more than 1" and has about half the capacity. It's
the area of the pipe cross section that is important so the
capacity varies as the square of the diameter. Go see that
irrigation specialist.

All an irrigation specialist needs to know is his well capacity and
exit pipe diameter.. I seriously doubt his little cabin's water
system can accomodate more than 3/4" outlet piping.- Hide quoted

You are such a complete moron it isn't even funny. Have you seen
many wells with a 3/4 inch connection?

You are so wrong! It is funny!

My sprinkler pump has a 1" outlet. And that's a small pump.
