Flow Rate is important because it tells you how many emitters you’ll be able to use before you need to zone your system.

Flow Rate Formula:
Volume of Container ÷ Time to Fill the Container × 60 = GPM
GPM × 60 = GPH

Need to determine the size of mainline tubing to use or the amount of emitters you can support on your drip system? In this video, Adam demonstrates how to find the flow rate of a water source with an easy gallon bucket test. All you need is a stopwatch and a gallon bucket!
