HI Everyone,
I need some suggestion for my farm issue.
For my 1.5 acres of land I have installed rain hose irrigation. The water well is 700 foot away from the land and currently a 5 HP submersible pump push the water through a 3" pipe.
Inside the farm the drip lines are further divided in 38 lines each individually controlled by valves.
My issue is the water pressure is not enough if I open more then 5 value lines on the drip. So I had to open 5 lines at a time and close the others to get enough pressure. This process is tiresome since it requires man power to operate each and every value in a particular time. This applies to watering the plants or fertigation etc…
Any solution to improve this process. One thought I had is to install a pressure booster pump in between the well water line and drip line to boost the pressure. But not sure how much power motor I need here for pressure boosting. My thought is to open all values at a time and just switch on and off the motor.
Any thoughts?? and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
