get your parts from dripdepot.com. Use 3/4" pvc for your main distribution manifold and use a 5/64ths drill bit to drill holes where you want your 1/4" fed lines and use a 10-32 tap to cut threads into the holes. Use the 1/4" nipples with the 10/32 threads to thread into your min pvc manifold. Add some stakes in your pots and maybee a T fitting at the end of the drip lines. Bingo Bango, Your done.
Let me see if I understand you. So if I am using a 50gal res I have my pump attached to the res and the other line into the 3/4" PVC? I drill holes into the pvc where I want the water lines for each pot. Do the nipples go inside the holes in the pvc and then the 1/8 feed lines go into the nipples? Then stake down the feed lines into the smart pots and put a T to help spread the water. Is this correct? Obviously I need to cap the PVC end to avoid flooding.

Well to figure out how big of a pump you take the number of emmiters x the psi your running them at plus however many feet of tubing you are using total and that
should give you a.good idea of how big a pump you need. For example I was watering 18 plants using 36 1 gph drippers x 20 psi inline pressure regulator which equals 720 plus ably 50 feet of tubing so around 770 gph would be sufecient but I wanted the flexability to use the pump for other endevors.I'm pretty sure that was the formula I was given, in any event I use.a ecoplus 1267 pump on 18 plants w/ no problems hope that helps. Peace.
I hoe u see this kushsmoker30, since I am a new member I cant send PM's. Linda gay but w/e.
