Assuming a flow rate of 3600 gph would the head loss for the 20' of 1 1/2" corrugated section be ~8 feet?
Thank you all for your input.
I concede I'm starting with 10' of head (3840 gph max), however would replacing the 1 1/2" PVC with 2 1/2" reduce the the friction loss significantly? I imagine I'm close to a 20' of head loss with the current setup, if not more.
Not including the 20' of...
Thank you for the reply.
