My system looks right now just like a wagon wheel where my "main" (5/16) runs from essentially my driveway to the back of the property where it connects to the 5 legs running to the trees. Where would the best place be to put the shurflo at the collection tank at the driveway or in the middle of the "wagon wheel" and let gravity on the new half inch carry it to the tanks? Instinct says ill have a bit better performance putting it in the center however sucking the air out of 60 feet of 1/2" seems like it may only be a negligible air displacement and for the ease of access at the driveway may overcome benefits. What are your opinions?

Decided to put it at the driveway, ran a new 3/4" line with two manifolds. Hooked the pump up and holy bajesus it sucked the lines dry even pulling lines uphill.
