Manifold and distribution pvc pipes, correct sizes?

[HaHend]

Hello,

I am about to finish my aero system and I would like to know if the PVC piping size looks OK before I glue everything together.

I have 39 sprayers (160l/h / 4.2gl/h) which equal 6240l/h or 1642gl/h in total. I have a 6500l/h main pump which will feed the sprayers and a 3000l/h secondary pump which will pump the nutrient solution back to the reservoir.

To keep reservoir temperatures cool (no budget for a water chiller atm) I decided on relocating it to another room. The distance from the reservoir to the manifold will be 5m.

I have a 1" pvc pipe for the manifold, then six 1/2" pvc distribution pipes (max. 7 sprayers per tube) and 1/4" tubing for the sprayers.

The manifold (I.D. ~27mm) will be mounted on top of the tray for top feed sprayers and will be connected to a 1" garden hose (I.D. ~25mm).

Do you think this will work out or do I need larger or smaller diameter tubing for the manifold or the distribution tubes?

Also does the garden hose seem to have the right size?

Is the distribution lines are inside a pipe or table, why not run the sprayers from the 1/2" pipe, when I used to do aero and still use an aero cloner, I had a 1" pvc pick up tube from pump to a 3/4" pvc then to 1/2" pvc with the sprayers that gave me equal flow and pressure for all pipes rather than jumping from a considerable bigger size to smaller like aeroflo's comes, can you tell if this gonna be a cloner, veg or flower set up, that way you use less sprayers per configuration

temps are easy to manage set pump to 8 minutes off/ 80 seconds on and your plants gonna love it, also the 4 or 5 min on/off wears the pump quick and create hot temps, buy a good pump but not to expensive in case you have to replace it, I like ecoplus inexpensive reliable and easy to find and have one spare at all times, had mag drives but they aren't cheap, you can cover the reservoir with any kind insulation like reflectix/prodex ftw and still you can keep the reservoir in the room and control temps

I just realize that I gave you pointers on another thread of yours
