How do I increase the water pressure in my pop up sprinklers?
How do I increase the water pressure in my pop up sprinklers?
Remove a few sprinkler heads from each of the zones in your system and cap the plumbing that led to them. Decreasing the number of sprinkler heads will increase the water pressure in those that remain. Install a boost pump on the main irrigation line.
Why does my pulsating sprinkler get stuck?
Water pressure that is either too low or too high can cause sprinkler head jamming. When water pressure dips below acceptable limits, the sprinkler head may get stuck at one side of its arc or it may not move at all. If water pressure is too high, it may also cause the sprinkler to stop or jam.

How do you adjust the radius on a hunter sprinkler system?

How can I reduce the coverage of my sprinkler system?
Keep the coverage head-to-head! For spray heads you just use the manufacturer’s chart. When you use the radius adjustment on a spray you are simply reducing the water pressure by closing a small valve in the nozzle. As the pressure drops, so does the radius.
Why do I need a smaller nozzle on my sprinkler system?
This is one reason I strongly suggest that you use a smaller nozzle if possible rather than using the radius adjustment screw on the sprinkler. The other reason is that when you reduce the radius you really should also reduce the GPM of the sprinkler. Otherwise there will be a lot more water under the sprinkler with the reduced radius.
