Water trough: 3/4 or 1" feed

Iodine1 · 2020-04-19 16:10:26

Hi I have about 120m 3/4" pipe buried across a field to a water trough. I now want to add on a further 160m to a water trough in a new field. Should I continue with 3/4" or go up to 1" considering I am stuck with 3/4 for the first 120m?

Thanks. That's excellent. And the striking part is the loss in pressure of 15psi over only 50 feet in 1/2" compared to just 3psi over the same distance in 3/4". Thanks again.
