Are they all on the same level? have you enough hoses/T's and cross members to distribute pressure equally? are some hoses much longer than others? do you have any kinks in the hose? Do the hoses go up and down a lot? large enough pump?

Never used the system but those are the main pressure related problems. There's always going to be some water at the bottom of every bucket because of drain height.

Glad things worked out. Irrigation seems so straight forward and simple but the actual implementation is much trickier.
