Thanks, Jack Action. I am hoping you don't mind me asking you some other questions. I swear I have been reading up on all of this, but some things still confuse me. 1) What determines if the head changes? For instance, for the pump you provided, @ 1ft of head you get 13.5 gpm and @10 ft of...

Thanks, Jack Action. I have a couple of followups. 1) The elevation difference is 10-20ft, but the pipe will be 65 ft long and then connect to a manifold that is around another 50ft. Sorry for the confusion. 2) Is a 0 gph @ 5.5 psi a scenario like there is too much height to get the water...

Thanks for the reply. I actually am doing this as an experiment so it has to be 4 times a day and I am hoping to have similar output at each plot. I was wondering how elevation would play out. I know 10-20ft difference will give about 4-8psi (formula used). Can you explain why you don't think...
