1 - They are fully openedFew thingds to check....
1. Are the radius screws on the spray nozzles closed at all?
2. Is the valve that runs these spray heads a Flow Control model?
3. If the answer to 2. is yes....is the flow control fully open?

Thanks for the vote of confidence there wet_boots, could you please elaborate for the amateur did wrong with this calculations? I did the bucket test for GPM at the valve, and also hooked a gauge up to get the PSI from the same valve, which the numbers are stated above. I was also worried that I had run into a flow problem but I turned the system down to 2 spray heads being active with no visible change between that and 6 heads (a flow change from 10.06gpm to 4.74gpm)
I don't mean to sound overly snarky, but I would honestly like to know where I could have done a much better job here, this isn't my first system implementation, but I certainly am not a pro, and would like to know where I went wrong.
