What is the minimum water pressure the sprinkler needs to operate at maximum coverage?

I have no idea because we have good pressure here on a new supply like and it works just fine.

Probably not the most efficient use of this sprinkler. It's better for larger area coverage. I would recommend a circular oscillating sprinkler and control the coverage with water pressure.

Each sprinkler head has a different spray pattern, so perhaps you should switch heads. If you aren't using a pressure regulator, you can also control the distance of the spray by adjusting the water level up or down.The hoses are relatively small and only carry a certain amount of water, so you may be asking more from the system than it is physically capable of delivering. If that is the problem, add more hoses and more sprinkler heads. Good luck!

I am sorry I could not open the link given but I was going to say that the only person who could answer the question would be the sprinkler company or someone that has the hose and the sprinkler.

I used mine to water a small garden and it worked very well. I don't believe the sprinkler heads were designed to spray more than 1-2 feet.

Max safety pressure limit is 25 psi and upper operating pressure limit is 12 psi ..hope that helps

The bottom line is going to be water pressure. I use it with a booster pump

Keep in mind that the Rain Drip system was developed in Israel to make the best use of a very scarce water supply. It is designed to direct water to exactly where it is needed and only to such areas. A 1 to 2 foot radius is normal. If water is needed outside of that area use an additional circular sprinkler or a fitting that does not revolve and just sprays at a 90 or 180 degree angle. Also some rotary sprinklers have an an adjustable feature that allows you vary the radius. There are many parts that do not come in the packaged kit. jrhanlon@attglobal.net

Hi,I'm using the sprinkler now, and it really covers a large area. I think the distance long and wide I gave you is very underestimated - it's probably twice that much with the hose spigot on fully.- Maggie

I am pulling water up about 10 feet from a lake bottom and pushing it up an approximate 40 foot high hill. The pressure runs around 40 psi according to a gauge I installed on the pump output stage. This is adequate to supply my nine zone sprinkler system that covers the hill and flat area at the top. The lower 4 zones typically have 4 3.5GPM rotor riser heads per zone. The upper 5 zones typically have 5 lower capacity rotor and/or sprinkler heads.

There is no definite answer, but the unit is designed for regular consumer use. The standard water pressure for most residential are 35 to 80 psi. So anywhere in between would work. The misting nozzle used for this fan is a patented brass nozzle so it will produce fine mist regardless. We don't know how much water this unit uses.

The unit has a gear drive that is powered by the water going through it. I travels along the hose that you lay out and set the unit on. The coverage is controlled by the position of the sprinkler arms and the water pressure, which also controls the rate of travel. The unit has two speeds, and can be taken out of gear and set in one location. It can be used in any area that has clearance for the arms to be able to rotate, about 30 inches. By positioning the arms you can adjust the coverage areas from about ten feet to twenty feet from the unit On bare ground I would say that it can only go about 50ft before the weight of the hose will cause it to dig into the dirt, and stop the unit. On grass it can pull enough hose to move about 100ft. Effectively you would be dragging about half of that length of hose. It can follow curves that have a 10ft radius or greater. I would not think it would be too good in a flower bed where the hose bend would be moving along behind the unit, unless there was sufficient room between the plantings. I have a large back yard with a bare area that has trees on both sides, it is about a 140ft run. By laying out a 100ft hose I can water the whole area and the trees, but I do have to go pull the hose up when it is about half the way through.

Yes you can adjust the amount of water pressure that the sprinkler spits out.

It depends on city or well water and pressure but covers more area with less problems then previous sprinklers I've had and I'm on well water , I bought the first one 3 years ago and it worked so well I bought 2 more which I use along with the first one to speed up watering my gardens.

not sure of the capacity, however, I have it adapted to a garden hose and sprinkler systems and saw no reduction in sprinkler coverage at all. Quite an eye opener to see how much water a big garden consumes!

This timer is not made for your application. My guess, max pressure would be no more than 100 PSI. My city water pressure is appx 65-70 PSI. Good luck !

I haven't used mine with a sprinkler, but I don't see why not. I'm guessing good pressure in, good pressure out. The issue isn't so much the pressure as it is the diameter of the hose which affects the VOLUME. You may need to leave the sprinkler in place longer because the amount of water that comes out of the hose in a given time is less.
