New Tubing install

[craigwade2005]

Below is my tubing plans for the 22 season. Any untapped trees will just get a bucket for this season.
I plan to run 3/16 lines as it is on a slight slope, but also a Shurflo pump as well.
Any recommendations or other layouts are appreciated.

What do you mean by "slight slope"?

[craigwade2005]

between 20 and 30 feet total drop.

I'd try it with 3/16" laterals and 5/16"drops. Make a manifold for each 3/16" line to hook up to the Shurflo. That will help isolate lines if you want to check leaks or narrow down any issues. Sounds like you have neither ideal slope or number of taps/lateral but you can try it. If you don't like it, you could change things over and run 2 short mainlines from the tank with 5/16" laterals and the drops would already be there. Invest in some vacuum gauges to put on the ends of each 3/16" line. You will need them to know what is really happening in the lines.
