I am hooking a rain barrel (50 gal plastic drum) to a soaker hose for the garden. I assume that the water pressure at the end of the hose will decrease proprtionally to the volume in the barrel. Correct, or does the spigot keep the pressure constant?
Assuming that pressure decreases, and that I want it to remain constant, and also assuming that the pressure from a 5 gal bucket is sufficient, would feeding the bucket from the barrel via a direct connection multiply the pressure coming out of the bucket, or would the press. remain the same as the bucket alone?
Would it matter if the connection went from barrel bottom to bucket top or bucket bottom? O-o_ O_o_ (O=barrel, o=bucket, -_= water lines) Barrel will be 3' off the ground, so bucket can be below barrel or even with it.
Both containers will be vented.
If not enough info, ask what you need to know.
