Mainline Recommendation

Use 3/4" mainline (better pressure over longer runs).

Current mainline: 200ft. If pressure is weak at the far end, step up to 3/4".

Estimated Material Cost

Zone supplies (dripline + emitters + fittings)$1,130-$2,710

Mainline tubing$120-$216

Total estimate$1,250-$2,926

Tip: 2 zones fit most homes. Add zone 3 when watering goals differ.
