although I plan only up to 7 sprayers at 14 gph ( a pack of 10 was 2 bucks at HD) which is 98 x 2 = 196 I am wondering if the 210 gallom pond pump ($50.) may need to be exchanged for larger anyway--

using CPVC and I also needed a 1/4" to 1/2" galvanized pipe connection --
but also want to know about the drain valve, and if there should also be a way to purge the air out of the dead end space to fill the piping.

also, by not using pvc cement on some connections --
is that to maybe be able to rotate the pvc pipe and or sprayers ( I'm using the 180 degree type)

also planning a huge 3 " PVC short drain piece to a seperate reservoir (no root clogging !)
