Notes/Recommendations
1 Number of units
Calculate flows from multiple sources separately and enter total in input column
4 Trench depth
18" recommended (18" - 30" allowed); check with local authority about shallow placement
modifications
Generally, don't exceed lowest reported rate between the ground surface and 12 inches below the
trench (Line4 +12")
Trench bottom area can exceed calculated minimum for a more conservative design
Narrow trenches are recommended to better use the available soil absorption area
Trench length can exceed calculated minimum for a more conservative design
9 Number of zones
Should limit to 1,000 feet of trench per zone. However, more than 6 zones would require a dist.
method other than an alternating valve, such as solenoid valvess or duplex pumps.
If demand dosing is used, zones will receive equal dose volumes and should be equal in size
Use separate sheets for multiple zones with different trench lengths
Use equal trench lengths if possible, and longest trenches, up to 100 feet, that will fit the site. A
minimum of two trenches is required
1/2 gallon per foot of trench, recommended; add volume needed to fill supply line if it drains back
to pump tank
FLOW CALCULATIONS
15 Operating head
16 Orifice (hole) diameter
17 Flow rate per orifice (see Table 2)
18 Flow rate per zone (target)
19 Number of orifices per zone (approx.)
20 Number of orifices per lateral (equal length)
21 Flow rate per lateral (equal length)
Set operating pressure with a valve on each lateral line. Use between 2 feet and 8 feet. (Default
is 4 feet)
Use to optimize pump flow capacity (Default is 1/4-inch)
Read from Table 2 or calculate using the formula provided
Initial value used to help optimize pump capacity and cycle time. Compare pump manufacturer's
cycle time recommendations with Line31. Confirm actual flow capacity (Line44) with pump
performance curve. (Default is 25 gpm)
Initial value used to select actual number of orifices per lateral
Use caution in selecting a different number of orfices, as it will affect required pump capacity
Actual flow. 10 to 40 gpm is typical. Confirm sufficient pump capacity (line44 and 45) using pump
performance curve.
Select pipe size for which flow rate (Line23) results in between 2 and 5 feet/second (fps)
Schedule 40 for example
If velocity < 2 fps, smaller pipe is recommended; if > 5 fps, larger pipe is recommended
Only used to proportion distribution in unequal length trenches in a zone (see next note)
For unequal length trenches, the length per orifice should not vary by more than 5%
Add time needed to fill supply line if it drains back to pump tank. In the field, you can start with a
drained system and time how long it takes to start to discharge at farthest lateral.
Total pump run time not including time needed to fill supply line
34 Elevation head
Difference in elevation (vertical distance) from low water level in pump tank to high point in
pressure system
35
36
Recommend using tables, such as from pipe manufacturer or SSPMA. If tables are used, carry
manual calculations through line 45. (Calculator estimates equivalent length at 20% of straight
length of supply/manifold pipe; be sure to include other losses on Line40.)

Supply line friction head
40
Add on friction (if any)
41 Friction head
42 Operating head
Pressure losses in filters, alternating valves, etc. (if in psi, multiply by 2.31 to obtain feet)
Use equivalent length of fittings can be more accurate. Compare with calculated value.
43 TDH
If friction is calculated manually using equivalent lengths of fittings, enter TDH on line 45
44
Flow capacity Zone flow rate plus allowance for flow through 5/32" siphon break or weep hole
45
Head capacity
When flow and head capacity are plotted on a pump's performance curve, that point must fall
below the curve
