You know, somebody else posted about similar technology yesterday, and its probably a good idea. I have to figure that the best way for Oliver to lay this out, is all of the 3/4" first, and then the smaller 5/8". Somewhere in there, probably half way, or at the 5/8", the electric pump to act as a repeater to reenergize the water flow, either by sucking, pushing, or both. There is naturally going to be friction inside of the hose, becoming more evident at that length, and since hose is rubber and gives, the hose nearer the spiqot is going to contract and expand as the flexable rubber gives into pressure caused by both friction and size reduction, reducing the volume output.

But, Oliver, if you are going to get that 1 1/4" in, don't waste money on the pump, until you find out that a 1 1/4" pump as a repeater is what the doctor ordered on your pipe, after the pipe is in, and you see a need. Money aint easy these days with crops failing as bad as the economy in general. Don't forget a way to drain the pipe at the low points, unless buried, and then at the lowest point. Broken frozen shallow pipe, not what the doctor ordered for the pocketbook or self esteem.

Good luck.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
