Sprinkler System Pumps How Do I Increase The Pressure In My Newly Installed Up-hill Sprinkler System?

How do I increase the pressure in my newly installed up-hill sprinkler system? - sprinkler system pumps

Today, we installed a new irrigation system that does not have a timer. It is an inlet on the side of the house that is connected to PVC-1 / 2 "pipe, which leads a part of a steep hill. The tube is divided, extends horizontally across the various levels of our hills of grass. Overall, there it is about 12-15 heads of the determination of water in 10 minutes. We are searching online for a certain type of pump or pressure that may offer to install the irrigation system of the required pressure, but could not find anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry to the bearer of bad news, but ...

The only way the problem is solved, the system to reorganize. From outside of the tube. A dedicated line to the appropriate backflow preventer is connected the right way. Only the connection to the outside faucet, and the burying of the pipe against code in most places.

A single line of the house may simply not have enough water running 12 to 15 presenters at a time. They break the system, at least in 3 areas, especially if you have a hill. The sprinklers at the top of the hill, yet receive less pressure from below - it is simply the force of gravity. Try to keep the parties, so that all sprinklers are in a region on the same level.

Well, before it helps to know what state you live in.
Secound're in a city, county, or pump system?
So if you use a hose that is not good. This leads to a loss of water.
The best way to go, if possible, go to the store irrigation, Home Depot, Lowes sanitation sector.
Check the pressure side of the water output of real capital.
This will be fixed by meter to a pipe outlet pressure of a breakdown. This shows an example.
20, 30, 45 or 60 psi.
If you have 30 PSI-50-flat major;
Then use the example we have a free hand in the material that shows how to install a sprinkler system.
Materials that can be a rain-Bird or Systems Co. will dig.
Step by step for the clutch system on all Copper Systems Galvanzed connection with the anti-Syphion manually or automatically, yes, even the small Toro Forum offers new 9-volt automatic hook for an anti-sphion.
But the other, or is your question, if you use 3 / 4 "PVC Pipe, PVC Schedule 4 in the first round. Then adeRon from 20 to 40 "key source or water supply valves or anti-common Syphion Referance. Valves control, then with a reducer to 1 / 2" PVC schedule 40 pipe. This may help to maintain the pressure at the pump may be used.
If this fails, you must go online and check one of the Ewing Irrigation their region to close. If there is one, then you can go online to the irrigation Tec.com
This is a Chinese Irrigation Co., CA, and AZ. share in the Irrigation Training and Tec to your problems, too. So, good luck;

12 to 15 heads is very much "source for Zone 1 with a 1 / 2 12-15 is too much for a correctly installed Font 1 When the pressure very well and put in 1 / 2 GPM heads have nozzles and valves are working could, could. During the installation of sprinkler systems in a 1 / 2 "put 3.4 heads depending on the pressure, and uses only 4.5 GPM. When the pressure is low, should have used 1 "PVC to reduce friction losses. To do this well, and ensure that it works, should be divided into zones.
