Chris,
    I cannot comment on the effectiveness of carbon at low pressures, but I 
can comment on the effectiveness if the drip emitters at low pressure. They 
don't give the desired rate and worse do not yield an equitable rate at low 
pressures. So your pump must be capable of developing 15-20 psig or thereabouts. 
Many folks have disputed my need to warm the water. I remember Jose Castillo did 
not worry about the cold water at the rates he was using when we visited his 
place at a local meeting. However, I am doing short higher rate deliveries 
rather than the very slow 24/7 delivery that he was doing. If you have a holding 
barrel already set up, use a coil of tubing in that barrel to warm the tap 
water. Removing chlorine by aeration will not work quickly  with either 
chloramine nor alkaline water conditions.
