we all have different systems no one will be able to provide you the best sound information for what you want.
You're going to have to keep reading and working little things that you don't understand out yourself.
When you have any problems with what you did or anything related, you can start asking us the relevent questions because that question you just asked is just too huuuuuuge, too general nobody's gonna be able to answer that.
So please don't be put off, just make a "model" of the system you want see if it works. Experiment with things. and read more! check out your local shops that sell pumps. Irrigation is a good place to start. Fish shops might have small pumps. Pool shops... etc. just expand your mind open up the possibilities
even though I've already made about 7 different systems I'm still learning and still reading more and more. There's just so many different system with so many different components from the very simple chift pist to the extra ordinary systems some of the members here have made. Just gotta to be creative about it and be serious with it.
