hi huys,

sprinklers dont all need 60 PSI, in fact most do best at 30 to 40 PSI

when going to micro drip, even 10 PSI is ok

I use a lot of sprinklers, and my experiance is that when pushing the PSI, often it only turns into fine druplets ore even close to mist. when bringing your PSI down, your spray is much less scepticalto wind drift.

so if you could run close to 10 to 20 psi, perfect for micro

time to redo the springklers you all, and use that water, as you dont have ot go to 60psi

a pump able to push 30 feet gives you aabout 13 psi !!
