You started of as James Nipper now you are just James


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 text -

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

I don't think he has seen _any_ plumbing except the spigot next to his
trailer house.
