15 Netafim Suggested Hydraulic Loading Rate, gpd/ft2 0.3 Selected from "Drop-down Data" sheet based on soil texture and structure.
This is the rate specified by the soils professional for the site or a more conservative value determined through water
and nutrient balance calculations. See the design guidelines for more information. For preliminary planning prior to
16 the soils evaluation, use the above application rate suggested by Netafim. Also, a site may have several different soil
types with different application rates. This spreadsheet is not set up to directly handle multiple application rates. For
this type of site, the spreadsheet can be run several times based on each different application rate with the objective of
determining the maximum design flow and corresponding zone details that can be accomodated by each different sub-
Selected Hydraulic Loading Rate, gpd/ft2 0.2 area (beginning with the sub-area with the best soils).
In addition to loading rate, the design should consider other site conditions affecting water movement such as depth to
a restrictive layer including seasonal water tables, soil saturation depths due to wastewater loading, minimizing soil
17
saturation depths by varying the dimensions of the drip system relative to horizontal water movement, the need for
curtain drains, the need to minimize drain back, etc. These factors are beyond the scope of this tool. See the design
guidelines for detailed information.
18 Standard spacing is 24". Smaller spacing may be a better choice for septic tank effluent or wastewater with a high
Spacing between Drip Lines, ft 2 organic content equivalent to residential septic tank effluent. See the design guidelines for more information.
19 24" emitter spacing is standard. 30", 36", 42" and 48" emitter spacings are also available; if these spacings are
Spacing between Drip Emitters, ft 2 2 desired, contact Netafim for detailed information.
20 Type of Drip Line Pressure Compensating
21 Site Slope <10% If slopes are 10% or greater, see "Slope Considerations" worksheet for Netafim's suggestions.
The design pressure at the return manifold controls the system design. This value is typically set at 10 psi. The
22
acceptable operating pressure range for Netafim Bioline is 5 to 70 psi; however, 5 to 45 psi is recommended. At
pressures >45psi, stainless steel clamps are recommended on all barbed Bioline fittings. Pressure regulators should
Design Drip Field Pressure at Return Manifold, psi 10 be considered to limit pressure when severe slopes exist or when pressure >45psi.
Standard flow rate is 0.62 gph; however, dispersal in clay or sandy soils may be improved by using emitters with either
23
slower or faster drip rates. The slower 0.42 gph emitter may be a better choice for clay soils and the 0.92 gph emitter
Emitter Flow Rate at Design Pressure, gph 0.62 0.62 may be a better choice for sandy soils.

Cell C25 is the internal diameter and D25 is the cross sectional area (ft2). 0.57 inch is the standard inside diameter
25 and the spreadsheet is based on its use. Larger tubing may be useful to reduce friction losses for long laterals that

26 This is the typical value used for Netafim Bioline. If other values are used, trendlines will need to be derived for the
Design Flushing Velocity (distal end of drip lateral), fps 2 chosen flushing velocity and the equations used in Cell D33 will need to be updated.

A lateral is defined as the length of drip tubing between the supply and return manifolds. If loops are used, a lateral will
contain two or more "runs". A run is defined as the length of drip tubing between a manifold and a loop or between two
27 loops. A run is typically placed on contour. The maximum lateral length is provided for each emitter flow rate and
spacing based on a pressure of 10 psi at the end of the lateral to ensure uniform distribution during flushing, a flushing
velocity of 2 fps, and restricting the pressure at the inlet of the drip tubing to a maximum of 71.12 psi. The maximum
length will differ for other conditions, but these are the typical design values. If other flushing velocities or outlet
Maximum Drip Lateral Length Based on Drip Line Hydraulics, ft 552 pressures are desired, contact Netafim for corresponding maximum lengths.
28 Maximum Drip Run Length Based on Site Boundaries and This length is site-specific. Runs should precisely follow site contours, eliminating dips and rises to the extent

29 Maximum Drip Run Length Based on Hydraulics, Site Boundaries This length will be equal to the lesser of Cells C27 or C28. If Cell C28 exceeds C27, hydraulics will control the
and Contours, ft 150 maximum allowable run length.
Maximizing lateral lengths through loops at the end of runs results in smaller pumping rates for line flushing which may
be important when flow rates for a zone approach the upper limits of readily available pumps. Pump rates can also be
30
reduced by increasing the number of zones. However, there are also disadvantages to increasing the lateral length
Number of Tubing Runs per Lateral to be Used to Fit Site using loops. Friction losses and the corresponding system TDH increase. Also, less uniform distribution of the
Boundaries, Contours, and Hydraulics 1 wastewater occurs as the lateral pressurizes.
Experience is needed to select appropriate run lengths based on hydraulics. If the site will accommodate long runs,
large high head pumps may be needed to provide the required pressures for flushing the runs. If subsequent
31
calculations indicated that TDH and flows for the system exceeds limits of commercially available pumps, restrict the

38 grass and other vegetation during the growing season, and (3) applying the wastewater to the topsoil layer with the
most favorable characteristics for wastewater disposal (typically the top 6" to 12" layer contains the most

Velocities should be maintained between 2 to 5 fps to prevent solids deposition and to flush solids from the system.
Although the wastewater is filtered, flushing will be needed to periodically remove microbial slimes, solids that may be
58 formed through biochemical or physiochemical processes, silt or clay that may be sucked back into the tubing through
the emitters at the end of dosing cycles, and soil and construction debris following system repairs or maintenance. In
order to determine the various pumping rates that will be needed, the basic field layout and number of drip lines per
DRIP FIELD FLOWRATES zone must be established.

For small turbine submersible pumps, the optimal range is about 5 to 35 gpm for a TDH greater than 120 ft. For self-
priming centrifugal pumps, the optimal range is up to 60 to 140 gpm for corresponding TDHs between 150 and 105
67 feet. **See worksheet entitled "Pump Selection" for pump curve.** You select this number based on the
amount of head you need and applicable pump curves for the type and brand of pump to be used. The value
used can also be adjusted to adjust the number of zones that may be desired (for example, to obtain an even
number of zones, increase or decease the pump rate within the available range for the type of pumps being

Pumping Rates (Whole Number Value) 1 dosing multiple zones and dosing and flushing a single zone.
NOTE: Recalculate flows and resize system components if number of zones is greater than 1. Pump selection
and availability is one of the key aspects for determining the number of zones that will be needed for a
70 balanced system. Another key consideration is the filtering system. Zones and filters should be selected to
balance the system flow requirements for zone dosing, zone flushing, and filter flushing. Revise the pump rate
as necessary within the limits of the pump curves for the range of pumps that are available to adjust the
number of zones to help balance the system.

If the filter is to be flushed hydraulically (recommended), the pump to be used must be capable of providing the back-

Selects the maximum value for drip field operation (dosing and flushing) or filter flushing. Select pump by checking
operating points for both drip field operation and filter flushing. Typically to help balance the system and improve
92 pumping efficiency for larger systems, two pumps are run simultaneously to obtain the required flow for both dosing
and flushing the laterals and filter flushing. Running two pumps in parallel also provides flexibility to dose more than
one zone simultaneously. The following calculations help determine the extext of this flexibility and establish the

Netafim recommends that normal field operating pressure should be within the range of 25-40psi. At pressures >45psi,
stainless steel clamps are recommended on all barbed Bioline fittings. Pressure Regulators should be considered to
limit pressure when severe slopes exist or when pressure >45psi. Cell D133 is required pressure in psi. This
133 recommended pressure range assures adequate pressure for both dosing and flushing (at least 7 psi at the return
manifold) during the flushing cycles (supply manifold pressure will be reduced during flushing since the return flow is
opened to atmospheric pressure at the return settling tank). The value used in Cell D133 is specifically selected based
on the inlet pressure needed for the longest dripline lateral in the zone at dosing flow as reported by the tubing

Netafim recommends that normal field operating pressure should be within the range of 25-40psi. At pressures >45psi,
stainless steel clamps are recommended on all barbed Bioline fittings. Pressure Regulators should be considered to
limit pressure when severe slopes exist or when pressure >45psi. Cell D239 is required pressure in psi. This

The type of pump is typically based on personal preferences, experience, flow requirements, the ability to provide
adequate freeze protection, and available vendor package systems. For small turbine submersible pumps, the optimal
range is about 5 to 35 gpm for a TDH greater than 120 ft. For self-priming centrifugal pumps, the optimal range is up to
313
60 to 140 gpm for corresponding TDHs between 150 and 105 feet. Centrifugal pumps are typically less expensive
than submersible turbines on a horsepower basis and offer more options for higher flow ranges. Experts who use both
types of pumps report that pump rates of centrifugal pumps are affected less by pump age (wear and tear).
Submersible Turbine
Select Type of Pump
Select a pump that is capable of providing flow and pressure for operation of the drip field and filter flushing. Typically,
pump selection is based first on the flow needed for zone dosing and the maximum system pressure that will be
needed (either zone dosing and flushing or filter back-flushing). To obtain the extra flow needed periodically for zone
314 flushing (or filter back-flushing), two pumps in parallel are typically used. See "Pump Selection" Tab for pump curves
for representative pumps that are commercially available. Curves will need to be re-plotted for parallel operation. If
the operating ranges do not match the available pumps curves, revise the number of zones and other design variables

The instantaneous wastewater application rate should not exceed the water absorption capacity of the soil. Dosing in
pulses allows maximum use of the peak absorption capacity that exists at the start of the dosing cycle when the soil is
321 the driest. Another important consideration is drain-back between doses. Increasing the number of doses per day
increases the total volume of water available that can create potential drain-back problems at low points in the runs

From WWSI. Jim Prochaska, JNM Technologies, suggests using the smaller range (6 to 12 minutes) for clay soils to

The calculation assumes that the design of the supply pipe and manifold (and the return manifold up to the check
valve) assures that the pipes do not drain between doses. The only component of the system that needs to be filled
329 with wastewater is the drip tubing within each zone. The actual time needed may be different because the average
pump rate will be faster than the dosing pump rate during pressurization since the pressures are much lower
(decreasing the fill time) and some of the water will be dripped from the tubing as the tubing fills (increasing the fill
time). If the system is designed to drain between doses (to minimize freezing potential), the calculation needs to be

Given:
Lateral Spacing (ft) = 2
Manifold Inside Pipe Diameter (in) = 1.380
Hazen-Williams Coefficient = 150
Drip lateral Flow (gpm) 2.366 (for both dosing and flushing)
Drip lateral Flow (gpm) 0.775 (for dosing only)
Friction loss for lateral tee (ft) 7 (equivalent feet of pipe for a standard tee with flow through the branch, fig. 9.2, Handbook of PVC pipe, 3rd edition, 1991)
This value must be entered for the manifold pipe size. This is a conservative estimate since most of the tees will
have the majority of flow through the run rather than the branch.

Drip lateral Flow (gpm) 2.366 (for both dosing and flushing)
Drip lateral Flow (gpm) 0.775 (for dosing only)
Friction loss for lateral tee (ft) #N/A (equivalent feet of pipe for a standard tee with flow through the branch, fig. 9.2, Handbook of PVC pipe, 3rd edition, 1991)
This value must be entered for the manifold pipe size. This is a conservative estimate since most of the tees will
have the majority of flow through the run rather than the branch.
