So i picked a 400gph submersible pump and plan to water two 25 gallon fabric pots. I currently have 1/4" vinyl hose, 1/4" soaker hose, adjustable 1/4" valves, various T and straight connectors. Havent got a timer yet.
I was going to make a halo of soaker hose for each. My question is will the pump be pushing too much pressure through the hose making water bleed through too quickly? should i run a hose from the halos back to the resevoir to bleed off pressure? I was also wondering if i should make some type PVC manifold off from the pump, that the 2 supply lines come from? But i dont know what connectors i would need for that to happen. the outlet from the pump has 1/2", 3/8" and 3/4" fittings. so i then need some type of adapter to go from whatever size is best down to the 1/4".
