With your drip irrigation septic system experience, you could set up your drip watering system very easily.
I would buy new tubing - it is cheap. I also use the 4 GPH drippers to get decent rates (though much less than 4 GPH).
The most surprising thing to me was how "idiot proof" the system was. I was worried I would have an improper design and have to tear it out and start over. Instead, you just make a ball park estimate on your drippers per blueberry bush. If the bush at the terminus of your line is not getting enough water, just add another dripper. If one bush dies, then just pull out the drippers there and stick in some goof plugs. They don't leak at all at my operating pressures.
After you set up the system, CLEAN water is your only concern. Before my algae problem, I did have one system clog the filter when I started it in the spring. The IBC tote on that system had originally contained a paper finishing chemical. I cleaned the tank very well before installing it. There was just a very thin film adhered to the plastic. Unfortunately, over the annual summer expansion-winter contraction cycle, the film peeled off of the tank in small pieces. The filter screen caught it, but I had to pull that tank and take it home for a "re-cleaning".
Have fun raising a big crop of blueberries!
Thanks, hopefully between me and the birds and varmints, one of us will have some blueberries to eat one day, I actually got a couple off of one variety that must bear a little earlier, smaller plants even when full grown.
Them tanks can be a mess to clean, I had to clean this one out after having set for a couple yrs with a little water in it to haul water to pressure test a water main we installed last spring, took a steam washer with the gun on it curved to a ninety degree angle,, that makes them pretty hard to hang on to but does work great for a lot of tight spaces when it comes to cleaning equipment and such.
