I have well water, and my pressure is pretty pathetic.
When I was pricing out an irrigation system last year, I also had to include the cost of upgrading my well pump and tank. However, the plumber explained to me that these upgrades didn't have anything to do with *pressure*. They were required so that the pump would run longer, instead of lots of cycling off and on, which would wear it out the pump.
I tested my gpm at an outdoor faucet: 5 gpm! Terrible.
My problem is, I want to get more radius out of my traveling sprinkler (haven't commited to the cost of irrigation yet).
So I'm confused about pressure versus flow rate. Will using a larger diameter hose do anything for me?
