The water pressure is not to high. Should there be a minimum amount of pressure like gallons per minute? If so what should that number be? I am using 3/4 inch pvc pipe, the connector at the main line by where my water meter is is also 3/4 inch, I have between 900 and 1,000 square feet and plan to put 2 lines with 4 heads off each line. Each line is approximately 35 to 40 feet long with the heads being open around 180 degrees give or take a little. Each line will be connected to a different faucet which will have a splitter on it so the faucet can still be used for other things. Is there a way to connect the system to the main line from where my water is hooked in to the city line or does that even matter? I was thinking that if we put a split or second connector where the main line comes to my property on my property of course by the water meter that might be better than connecting the system at the faucet. I recall a number of 55 something the plumber told me which had to do with water pressure. Sorry don't know what that number needs. Thank you for any help you can give. Aloha Sheryl [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
