| May 22, 2023 at 5:42 | comment | added | BrDaHa | @Jasen pardon my ignorance, how could I measure that? I assumed that since the sprinkler system and the spigot I was measuring on were on the same "circuit" that the water pressure measurement would be representative of the pressure at the head. | |

| May 22, 2023 at 4:35 | comment | added | Jasen | what the pressure at the spray head? | |
| May 22, 2023 at 2:52 | comment | added | keshlam | What is the rated GPM of each head at the standard operating pressure? It sounds like you are simply demanding more water from the system than your pump can keep up with. | |
