Distance my yard sprinkle is 4' with 60psi, spc 5-15'. Can I use water pressure regulator to bring up to 80psi for longer distance?

Yes. My suggestion is to put a "y" splitter in line so that the pressure regulator is on 1 end and the other end is unregulated. The "y" can be found on amazon... Gilmour 13 Brass 2-Way ConnectorThis way you set the regulator to the correct pressure once and then leave it alone. All the best, Chris

Provided you have 80psi or higher at your water source. It won't boost water pressure.

Each sprinkler head has a different spray pattern, so perhaps you should switch heads. If you aren't using a pressure regulator, you can also control the distance of the spray by adjusting the water level up or down.The hoses are relatively small and only carry a certain amount of water, so you may be asking more from the system than it is physically capable of delivering. If that is the problem, add more hoses and more sprinkler heads. Good luck!

Curtis, I use mine via an outside hose bib with about 35-50psi. It works great!

I believe it will depend on your water pressure. I have run two drip lines from the unit. The total distance is 80 feet, 40 in each direction. I have many drip heads on the line, some of them are spray heads. I have no problem.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think I would recommend it. You would probably run the chance of breaking part of the sprinkler system.

I have used a 125 foot of hose routinley w/o problems. You only need a small amout of positive water pressure for a soker to work.

I bought three 10 foot sections of 1 inch PVC sprinkler pipe with 1 inch connectors to extend it to my sewer cleanout. Used 25 feet of it. Add that to the 10 feet that came with the device and an additional 10 foot Sewer Solution hose and I have 45 feet from RV to Sewer. It works great! I haven't glued the connectors so I can keep it stowable. Will only use it at home.

There is no way to adjust that I can see. This sprinkler is definitely designed for low pressure systems. At higher pressure it is like a mist, but once my pump pressure stabilizes (to about a 1/4 of what average city water is), small droplets are evenly distributed over approximately a 35' circumference.

In terms of its 'reach,' it may be more than what is needed for that use. My recommendation would be to get a good 'up and over' sprinkler as it would water in a better rectangle-like pattern for your needs.

Hi John, I think you are on the right track. I myself use a 50 ft hose, the manual also mentions this. I have used my pressure washer over a dozen times with no problem. I am thinking with the longer 100ft hose the pressure must be to low for the unit to be efficeint. I do use a 3/8, 50 foot pressure hose from the unit to the pressure sprayer and get great results.

I would say, in my experience no problem. I am pumping up 15 ft before the pump and running with PVC and Garden hose at least 50ft after the pump with 3 Rain Bird sprinkler heads and it works great. As I said in my review, make sure you buy a foot valve and prime both the pipe and the pump to get it started. Also use PVC and not garden hose to pull the water up the vertical haul. I like the pump. It works great for me.

I agree with G.R. I have this sprinkler and it's probably better suited to a bigger area than what I use it for. (My front yard)

It depends. Sprayer has wand pressure, however, probably not enough to reach the crowns of tall trees(> 15ft). The hose and wand is about 8-10 feet long which would also limit your ability to spray larger trees. I have a Stanley commercial backpack pump sprayer that I use on taller trees.

Hi, This system is designed for only low flow as it says in the item description like veg garden for best results only for shorter distance. I got it for my garden to attach one of the sprinkler head so that my garden gets water. I guess you need one step higher may be.

pressure 55-60 lbs covers about 60 ft I have 2 in my gardens are connected to 3/4 in PVC pipe. Any pump that will produce 50+lbs .will work. Use 5/8 hoses to get good pressure.

I guess it depends on how small your yard is. I've got a large yard, but am using this sprinkler to water only a 25x50 foot rectangular seedbed. With the sprinkler in the middle of this area, I've got it adjusted so the spray distance varies from about 13 to 25 feet. I think it could service an even smaller area if I turned down the water flow. If your yard is smaller, and is not very irregular in shape, you might want to use a small oscillating sprinkler. Keep in mind that impulse sprayers, like this Gilmour, are designed to shoot water fairly long distances because they aim in one direction at a time. The oscillating sprinklers provide more even coverage for smaller areas.

Probably around 50 feet I think? This is the best water sprinkler I've ever used - not like the cheap plastic that is the only thing you can find nowadays.
