Advice on water butt irrigation pump suitable for drip irrigation
Hi I recently installed drip irrigation from mains water (with timer) across half my garden and it is absolutely fantastic. Wish I did it years ago.
Now I want to do the other half but there is no mains water close by, so I want to run a pump from a series of water butts.
I realise I will need an inline filter etc…
Can anyone recommend (preferably from personal experience) a good pump to feed 1/2” LDPE irrigation tube with 1/4” LDPE spurs to drip feeders.
I think the total distance may be 15 meters from water butt location, but it will be feeding 4 raised beds (which are overall down hill relative to the water butts) with many multiple drip feed points.
My main concern is if I just use a submersible pump or similar, the flow may be sufficient but it will need to have a decent pressure rating also.
Would love to hear recommendation from anyone with a successful pump installation. Many thanks.
