How High Should a Gravity Reservoir Be?Updated 2 months ago

Gravity systems generate pressure based on elevation.

Approximately every 2 feet 4 inches of height equals 1 PSI of pressure.

Most systems require about 3 feet of height or more to operate reliably, though the exact requirement depends on the distribution method.

Step by Step Instructions:

1. Measure the vertical distance from the reservoir water level to the grow area.

2. Use roughly 2 ft 4 in per PSI as a guideline.

3. Raise the reservoir if pressure is too low.

4. Confirm water flows evenly through the system.
