So, like a Dutch system but under pressure, forward and Reverse.
I’m not familiar so trying to understand the concept.
I do o know process piping, ,
Head pressure; all pumps have a linear curve that tells ya , how much( volume) and distance said volume can be maintained.
Proper pipe sizing to pump would be key.
Then we get into outlet flow; diffused flow, meaning how much per port are you sending, question does it have a sized port that allows persay limited set volume?
If so then provided one has the correct head and sized pump the flow in theory would be linear to said distance.
Now to get back to my understanding.
This system supplies up top, water percolated down, hits the discharge point and it’s returned to the reservoir under pressure, (pulled)?
Then the question would be how does one calibrate each pot and plants intake? Are they linear to use and flow? Does one adjust flow back via increasing flow in? If so, does this effect/ affect plant growth?
Once it’s back to reservoir, what compensates it’s loss via plant intake?
Because I been thinking about a similar system. Hybred system to ebb and flow setup in daisy chain with flow restrictions to even out flow to the end using single 1/25hp recirc pump, ( head on this would be 60’) so it can run 60 pots set 30x30.
