hey All, I need my thinking processes looked over. First the info:
* Front Yard Size: 60' x 60' feet square.
* Grass Type: Bermuda mowed at approximately 1' height.
* Yard faces: South/south east: Full sun from morning to night: No trees so it needs a lot of water.
* Water Static Pressure: 80psi at 3/4" main tap off.
* Water Pressure measured through 3/4" pipe after back-flow preventer: 55psi at 14gph flow rate or 45psi at 16gph flow rate:
I am planning on using RainBird rain curtain 5000 series sprinklers on the yard. When I drew the layout I ended up with 8 sprinklers around the border of the yard and 1 sprinkler in the middle: Total 9 sprinklers. I am going to use a 1' main to valves then 3/4" laterals with 3/4" to sprinkler heads: sch 40pvc for all runs.
Planned Zone division:
<b>Zone 1:</b>
5 border sprinklers at 45psi with 2.0gph nozzles: 10gph
<b>Zone 2:</b>
3 border sprinklers at 45psi with 2.0gph nozzles: 6gph
1 center sprinkler at 45psi with 4.0gph nozzle: 4gph
Zone 2 total Gallons per hour: 10gph:
This shall give me approximately 4 gallons at 45psi in each zone for future improvements and also for the occasion water pressure drop in the local water system [

How does that sound as it is taking a miracle for wife to let me do this, so I want to get it right. I do not want to lose WAF for this project and ALL future projects. [

Thanks for your help...
