Question About Water Pressure
I finally installed a water pressure gage on my system to see what PSI I am getting and that raises another question. On zone 1 which has 12 pop up spray heads I get a reading of 35psi. Zone 2 has 9 rotary heads and I get a reading of 60psi. The answer sounds obvious, but since I am fairly new to this I want to make sure I am going about this the correct way. Should I base my nozzle selection on the PSI I get on each zone? As an example let's take two zones with 9 rotary heads. Zone 1 has a PSI of 50 and zone 2 has a PSI of 60... clearly each zone would require a different set of nozzles to get the same precipitation rate between zones. Does that sound right or am I way off base? I have a pump and well system so how can I acurately measure my gpm when I get different pressure readings on each zone?
