We are all set. I calculated the PSI and the GPM (what I should have done in the first place) and swictched some of the heads on the sprinklers to 1.5 GPM. It is all up and running at this point. Thanks for the info I really appreciate it and it did help.
My static water pressure is about 77psi and I get approx. 8 gallons per minute. I switched the pipe size to try to increase pressure at the end of the runs. I figured that I have about 250 of pipe on one run, one inch for about 120 feet and the rest (where the heads are located are 3/4 inch pipe. On that zone we had about 5 570's. A couple of the heads at the end of the zone weren't even popping up. We have added another zone and decreased the number of heads per zone. One of the zones has only ...

The bigger heads did not even work so we replaced them with ...
