💧 DAILY IRRIGATION TIP – WATER PRESSURE MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK 💧
One of the most common mistakes homeowners make is assuming all irrigation problems are caused by bad sprinkler heads.
The truth?
Many sprinkler problems are actually pressure problems.
✅ Heads not popping up all the way ✅ Dry spots in the lawn ✅ Mist instead of streams ✅ Uneven coverage ✅ Excessive water runoff
All of these can be symptoms of pressure issues.
As a general rule:
• Spray heads perform best around 30 PSI • MP Rotators perform best around 40 PSI • Rotor heads typically perform best around 45 PSI
Too little pressure and the sprinklers won't perform correctly.
Too much pressure and you'll create misting, overspray, wasted water, and premature system wear.
Before replacing sprinkler heads, always ask:
"Is the pressure correct for this zone?"
A simple pressure test can save hours of frustration and hundreds of dollars in unnecessary repairs.
🔧 Pro Tip: If your system pressure exceeds 80 PSI, a pressure regulating valve (PRV) should be considered to protect both your irrigation system and plumbing system.
