We found a spring on our property today - very nice flow. We will be watching it this summer but seems to put out about 1/2 gal per minute.
Here is my question.... The spring is about 1350 feet away from the cisterns (near the house). Elevation is about 70 feet below the cisterns. Would 1 1/4" pipe be sufficient to run this ditance? Can I use 1" pipe? Basically it will be emptying into the cisterns so there is no pressure it is pumping against other than the 70 feet of head in the pipe going up. I am not sure yet on the elevation but 70 feet is a guess.
