I've tried to capture the question in the title.

I have a garden tap. The bucket test revealed it has 2.4 Litres per minute. I'm wondering, is that enough flow to feed our drip line? I'm planning on running it down 15m of 19mm polypipe before it rises 600mm into a raised bed.

Not trying to over think it. I just feel this flow rate is very low.

One thing I might add. We aren't sure if the tap is plumbed into the rainwater tank it's situated next to.

If so, we have a pump attached to the tank. But when the pump is turned on, it doesn't appear to do much for the water flow.

Any other factors I might need to look into?
