    Putting together a rain barrel for the garden. I use drip irrigation to help ensure things are watered when life gets crazy. What I am trying to figure out is what pump can I put on/in the barrel to get enough pressure for the drip irrigation to work.

    Elevating the barrel can get water to move but enough pressure for drip lines.

    Help!
    Thanks

    If you can elevate the barrel, you can always increase the diameter of the discharge plumbing until you have enough surface area to make the pressure you need.

    LH's suggestion sounds good too. :thumbsup:
