I have not measured actual flow rate with a bucket. My best guess is about 10 gpm from each of the 1 1/2" ball valves. I should be able to get 5 gpm with 1 1/2" pvc pipe over 100'.

My goal is to find if I can irrigate a small area from an artesian well without a pump. Microirrigation (Spot Spitters) works at the pressure, according to their web site. Thanks for the DC valve...

Please tell me where I can buy the electrical ones that stays open once opened, and stays closed once closed. Thanks.

Thanks for your replies. According to Rain Bird, their solenoid valves need minimum 15 psi. I suppose all sprinkler solenoids work the same.

Thank you folks for many helpful posts on well casing. Now I have a 4" PVC well, free flowing. Water pressure is about 7 or 8 psi. I wonder if this pressure will work with conventional sprinkler...

Thank you for kindly explaining thigs to me. I have already talked to Bobby @pumpsand tanks.com. He explained to me how irrigation (low pressure high volume) and household do not mix well. Finally,...

I now see my mistake. I will return the pump and buy a good one that goes higher than 46 psi.

Right now, the need is to run sprinkler heads, maybe about 10-15 gpm a few minutes per zone, 4-5...

Now I am down to 2 bids. One says he can do either galvanized well casing or PVC. The other says he does only galvanized. Which should I choose? I live in Florida and freezing is rarely a concern....

Thanks a lot. I didn't know anything about what you mentioned. I will look for a Cycle Stop Valve. I was wondering what the unused water would do to pressure. Now I know.

My pump is from Home...

Thank you. I got answers from an irrigation supplier.

Let me ask another question. I know Goulds is a good brand. Is it the best brand? I am getting bids on the well drilling and I have no...

Thank you for the explanation. I have another question. Do I need water tank if I am going to use the water for irrigation only? No house, nothing. I will have about 1 hp pump which will give me...

I am getting a 4" well. Since my neighbors have artesian wells, contractors are telling me I am likely to have one, too. What I don't understand is that their bids include immersible pump. Why not...
