There is a lot of math that goes into calculating friction loss, pipe size, gpm over elevation. The Rainflo catalog has all these charts In the back of it. If you don't have one Call them they'll send you one. 3 acres is pushing it with 2" hose depending on all the things I just mentioned and pump size.

I have a couple other videos that explain it pretty well, one called chemigation, and one, how our irrigatolion System works. Scroll back thru my channel and you'll find them

I have a few videos about sand filters and fertilizer injection where I talk about pressure regulation. Check them out

It is. It has is place. In some applications it works well. I still use primarily black oval hose for durability and cost savings.

@@CherryHillFarm when i worked on a big strawberry farm in the mid 2000 we uses black hose (i think its oval) over layflat. One drawback was that hose elongate as the temperature rises and the drip tape become unmatched with the center of the beds… This i why im interested by flexnet, but its seem so light and fragile..

@@Kamotor1980 it is super light, but it is very durable. Much more mouse resistant than blue. It just doesn't line up all that good since the spacing is preset

The blue Layflat is vinylflow and sunflow, I prefer sunflow because it's made in the USA

ok I check that out . does it come qith holds in it. the blue Layflat work good but when i turn off the water it turns twisted . nice videos keep it up

Good video, 👍

The water has to be filtered, or it would stop up the drip tape.

Dm on fb or Instagram is best. Still Cherry Hill Farm

Im a farmer. I can't afford to spend $1000 on a 2" pump. I've had really good service out of all of my predator powered equipment.

I just bought a 2” semi trash pump from northern tool with the Honda for $545
