I looking to run a drip irrigation system with my rainwater. Drip can run up to 25 psi. Do I need a regulator too or just this?

This not a regulator, it quiets down the pressure pulses coming from the water pump.

I use a 5/8 diameter hose, but any size hose should work, because you do not need full water pressure, only enough to achieve the drip rate you want.

The flow rate listed for these regulators is based on optimum conditions. The actual flow on any regulator depends on the park supply pressure, supply line size and parks water system flow capacity. The flow is also affected by the pressure you set on the regulator, and how long and what size your hose is. The pressure on the regulator is set without any flow going through the regulator but there is restriction through the regulator while flowing so the pressure when water is flowing is less than the set pressure and therefore the flow is also affected. I have this regulator on my rig and I like it. It has greater flow and better pressure than all the other regulators I have used regardless of where we have camped.

Probably not, depending how much higher water barrel is to drop line. I have a small pump inserted in mine. This provides the pressure needed to put water where I need it. Although I have not tried to connect drip irrigation, this may cause a backflow of pressure to the pump.

I agree with running one sprinkler at a time, although I do have one outlet hooked to a Rainbird and a soaker hose. Obviously the soaker requires very little pressure.

We built a 4 outlet manifold for ours, each has a ball valve so we can shut lines off or even lower the flow if need be. I'm not sure how your drip system is set up or the size, but either way you should have a valve in place to shut the water off. There is a prime plug that you could attach a pipe and valve to that you could use as a pressure relief. We have those on our larger plant and recycle pumps.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. I bought the 1/2 inch diameter version for transporting the water to various areas of my garden. I then punch a hole for a 1/4 feed at locations where I want drip irrigation. You won't have enough water flow for multiple locations if your main transport line is only 1/4 inch.

Not sure - our water pressure was approximately 70 psi and it works great. I believe the specs state that you must have, at a minimum, 50 psi. 35 psi sounds a little on the low side and would probably not work (of if it did, it probably wouldn't work very well).

You will need a faucet adaptor with a pressure regulator and filter, like the Rain Bird FCKIT1PK - Faucet Connection Kit http://www.amazon.com/Rain-Bird-FCKIT1PK-Faucet-Connection/dp/B000FJYT1C/ref=sr_1_16?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1407034468&sr=1-16&keywords=drip+irrigation The emitters on this hose start near the end so you will probably need some plain black " hose and a slip connector as well.

i use on a system with 120 psi output. it is a very compact unit. works as designed. a plus is the drain valve in the body.

Haven't ran it yet, but was told it will produce 100 psi, I have it regulated down to 40 for my app.

I really did bad in math in my youth school days (60's). What I can tell you what I have, I have a sprinkler system and a small line about the size of a little finger or a fat pen. It runs about 40-50 feet, Not sure what my PSI is but I plugged in about a dozen emitters and watched how they did. They all seem to be doing fine. I would suggest to put in a few at a time and test the system...you can always add more & if you add too many Amazon sells the plugs you can patch the holes. Good luck.

Keep in mind that the Rain Drip system was developed in Israel to make the best use of a very scarce water supply. It is designed to direct water to exactly where it is needed and only to such areas. A 1 to 2 foot radius is normal. If water is needed outside of that area use an additional circular sprinkler or a fitting that does not revolve and just sprays at a 90 or 180 degree angle. Also some rotary sprinklers have an an adjustable feature that allows you vary the radius. There are many parts that do not come in the packaged kit. jrhanlon@attglobal.net

I use this regulator with it, hose is included on the regulator.Bayou Classic 7850 0-30 PSI Adjustable High-Pressure Propane Regulator for 1/4-Inch Inlets and Outlets

I connected it to standard 1/2" distribution hose using the barbed fittings. The distribution hose is connected directly to city water through the irrigation timer with no regulator, and have had no problems.

I'm assuming you've got one on the pump since 2hp could blow most garden type hoses. You shouldn't exceed 30psi on the line and the flow should be fine. If the pressure is unregulated, who knows what it will do to your system.
