Not that I'm really thinking of redesigning our sprinkler system, but out of curiosity I picked up RainBird's questionnaire/layout sheets to send in for them to design an appropriate system, and one thing struck me as very odd:
One is supposed to measure both the water pressure and the rate of water flow from a spigot, e.g., time how long it takes to fill a 5-gallon bucket. BUT is ours the only house where the existing sprinkler system is fed from a 1-1/2-in PVC pipe run from immediately after the meter, whereas the outside spigots are fed through 1/2-in. pipe beyond the pressure regulator?
What useful information would the pressure and flow rate measured at one of our spigots provide?
