Bottom pump is just a mixing pump. Comes on for a few minutes every hour. Or if I’m adding nutes I’ll turn it on.

Ugh. I’ve been lying awake in bed thinking about booster pumps ( it’s what you do after 50 ) so much I didn’t even think of that. I was thinking it was just an in-line pump.

I have a 20 site drip system in my flower room. 5” ring emitters at each plant connected to standard drip emitters you find at lowes/home depot on the main line. Those standard emitters control the flow rate and you’ll want to calculate how much power you need to drive all of them. You’ll want at least something like an RV pump. I use something a tad beefier than your standard RV pump, but same idea.

These brass quick connects are a life saver too

Fountain pumps, there are quite a few options for around 25 bucks on Amazon. You can also find them at most home improvement stores. I think I got mine at harbor freight.

Personally I use a 'utility' pump. I think it's 1/3 HP it was 80$
Edit. I think it's actually the 1/4hp one.

I've always used laguna pumps. The only thing I don't like about mine is finding replacement parts
