Aeroponic pump size and distance from sprayer to netpot?

Hello,

I intend to use 38 nutriculture 160l/h (brown) sprayers for my diy aeroponic system.

Now I am wondering how many l/h the pump should be able to deliver.

I thought about using a 2800l/h pump, however if I multiply 38 sprayery by 160l/h it results in 6080l/h.

So do I need a 6080l/h pump to reach an optimal spray pattern of the sprayers or is a 2800l/h pump enough?

Also I would need to know if 10cm/4" distance from sprayer to netpot sounds reasonable?

Thanks for your help!

liters and centimeters ack.
idk but I use 31gph spray jets. 15 of them. Thats 525gph
If I use a 600gph pump it works fine. If I use a 396gph pump the sprayers just dribble.

SO I would guess yours will just dribble if you use less than half the amount of water the sprayers want.

4" to netpot sounds ok to me. I have 15 sprayers in a 2x4 tray if that means anything
