At different pressures, the sprinkler head and nozzle will consume different amounts of water. For example, at 35 pounds per square inch (PSI) the 5000 Series Rotor using the 3.0 nozzle will use 3.11 gallons per minute (GPM). If your home’s water capacity was 10 GPM, you could place 3 heads per zone.
How do you find sprinkler heads without turning them on?
Pull a metal garden rake gently over the area of the grass where you suspect sprinkler heads are located if you cannot turn water on to the system. If the sprinkler heads are buried, you may need to apply greater pressure to the rake so it digs slightly into the soil.
