Hi
I have tried a 1000GPH and 1500 GPH intex pump with my DIY solar using black drip irrigation hosing tubing and the output is the same. Its pretty slow at what I would guess is 50GPH. This is I am sure because the water is going from a 1.5" tubing diameter intex hosing down to a 0.5" diameter drip irrigation hose. However I dont expect the flow rate to be THIS slow. Im wondering if others experience the same thing or not and if they have solutions?
Another problem I have that sometimes contributes to this is air pockets needing release with DIY solar with drip irrigation hose/tube. Please see below link. Does anyone have this problem and have they tried this solution on the website below of installing air vents? FYI my current solution is to hook up a hose every now and then and blow out all the air from the drip line and then quickly disconnect the hose from the drip line and hook up the intex pump back up to the solar drip line
My solar set up is 500 feet of black irrigation tubing coiled on my roof.
