VIDEOClick to see full answer. Likewise, people ask, how do I lower the water pressure in my sprinkler system?Adjust the master valve of your sprinkler system by turning the flow control clockwise until the stream of water from the nozzle begins to drop. This lowers the water pressure. Turn the flow master valve flow control slowly until the spray pattern reaches its full radius.Subsequently, question is, how much pressure do you need for a sprinkler system? The average water pressure for most homes and businesses is between 30 psi and 50 psi; most sprinkler systems are designed to use pressures of around 30 psi. You can measure the water pressure at your site with a flow meter or water gauge attached to an outdoor faucet. Subsequently, question is, what causes low water pressure in one station of a sprinkler system? Low water pressure in your sprinkler system cuts down the irrigation range and can even cause the sprinkler heads not to pop up at all. Here are some of the most common culprits: The valves on the backflow preventer device aren’t all the way open. The sprinkler heads are dirty or clogged.How many sprinklers can I run on one line?The resulting number will equal how many zones you need. If, for example, each sprinkler head will require a flow rate of 1.31 GPM and you have 20 of them, then you will need 26.2 GPM total. If your system can only handle 16.67, you will need to use two zones to cover that same area of your yard.
