@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
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
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.

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