Thank you Wet Boots,
you have always been a big help here.

I believe my system seems well laid out. Wherever I have woreked on my system, I have always stuck with the 3/4" pipe, actually upgrading it to the thicker pipe....( the same pipe for regular water lines in a house.....not the thinner pipe they seemed to always use 15 years ago when it was first installed).

I find working on sprinklers very interesting and enjoyable. I've done house plumbing for years....this is a whole new type of plumbing......I look forward to learning more and more about it. This forum has been very helpful.

Quoted from "Wet_Boots"

If the system is properly designed, you won't be wasting water. Don't skimp on pipe size. In the days before rotor heads with built-in pressure regulators, one would simply throttle down the flow control on a zone valve, if there was too much pressure in a zone. And since I believe you are going to be using anti-syphon control valves, you do have the flow controls.

That is true but that include wind, slow, soil, etc . There is more too it then what brand of rotor.
