  • @heald269 hey im doing an expiriment...first time. is it true that it also matter how you lay your piping? i think i can run 4 heads max on one zone. i tried using one main pipe and had eachhead on that pipe and the heads barely popped up. when i split them into like a Y and T shape i got good water flow through the heads....im using 3/4 and its for my backyard so if i manage to do this right i will have a couple friends give me a hand in the front lawn

  • Now there is a break easy system. How long before the sprinkler risers snap? Bozo!

  • Thanks for this video :)

    Sprinklers.iFind2.com installed mine. It was only $1899 in Richmond, TX for my entire yard. 6 zones 16 heads.

  • If you hire a professional to install your irrigation system, and he busts out the pvc and orbit heads- kick him off your property.

  • This guy is dumber then a sack of hammers with his explanation of pressure try running 7 heads on a zone fed by 1/2 inch and 60 psi your heads wont work worth a damn and that nice yard won't be nice after the companies 2 day warrantee expires

  • @heald269 lmao! 

  • Nice explanation of how water rushes through the pipe to the sprinklers. Geese real technical. Might as well start out with a Duhhh! If you think it is all about the pressure that make the sprinklers operate your wrong. You would probably remove a hose bib from a half inch copper pipe attach a Brass 1" T with 4-1" valves because the pressure is 100 psi try to install 15 pop-ups on a lawn zone then scratch your head why it is under performing.
