FAQ
Test pressure with a spigot gauge and flow rate with a timed five-gallon bucket. Screw the gauge onto an outside faucet and turn it on fully to get your PSI. To find Gallons Per Minute (GPM), divide your bucket's size by the seconds it took to fill, then multiply that number by 60.
The most common yard irrigation methods are traditional high-pressure sprinklers and low-pressure drip systems. The first type uses rotating heads or fixed nozzles for open lawns. Meanwhile, residential drip irrigation utilizes an emitter or micro-sprayer network to deliver water directly to the soil, reducing evaporation around flower beds.
