Irrigation pump size for 8k room

[thewhitelotus]

Whats shaking everyone?!? Hope you guys all had a great holidays!

I need some recommendations on new pumps for the new room. The room will contain 2 different rezes, each one will be feeding a 4x16 tray section....6 sites per 4x4 so a total of 24 sites per pump. Im planning using FloraFlex caps with open ended lines feeding the FF caps. In my head id like to use the Octobubbler 8port then just use 1/4" from that to the caps. Im curious what size pump would accomplish this or would I need to segment the 4x16 sections into smaller zones? Thanks in advance guys!

Is there an Irrigation store near you?

I have been dealing with the same problem as you in trying to size the right pump and getting the right information online involved so much fuckery that I bit the bullet and went in. They'll be able to sort you out no prob.

I'm not sure the details of your setup, whether you're on a constant drip or interval so I'm not sure how much I can help but for me I'm doing an interval type system off those octobubblers. I'll have 100 sites at 2GPM so I need a pump that kept a minimum of 20psi in the lines and had a min flow rate of 200GPH. I got sized with a 5GPH diaphragm on demand pump. It's the same type of pump that would go in an RV. You can either keep pressure in the lines and have constant power to your pump and open the lines with a solenoid or have the pump controlled by a timer that turns it on and off. Not sure if these pumps are the way to go if you're on a constant drip feed but I thought I'd share just in case it helps.

Good luck
