I have 120 plants in coir. I am setting up a new drip system. I am looking for a new pump. I like the brand Leader pump. I am looking for drip line and drip head recommnedations pipe size recommendations etc. along with a recommendation for the size of the pump. I esitamate a half gallon of water per watering from a nuted water tank reservoir.

So many ways to skin a cat. I'll try to help if nobody jumps in. I use a pressurized system but there are a couple guys here that do just this so they will have a better grasp on what ya need.

I prefer multiple redundant pumps. I think the last brand I used that lasted was called Red Giant. I would energize your water supple at both ends. Use a few pumps. Each nozzle comes with a flow rate maximum. Just do the math. And add the pumps that work for you.

I didn't read it as thoroughly. You could use gravity and just get drip emitters that match your requirements.

Im in the same boat of the OP but with half of the sites...
Shall I take into account also pipe diameter and lenght?
Thanks
