Frustrated.. Help !

OK.. My property is 40 by 100. The house is 50x25. We have 50 -60 PSI of water pressure and a 4 zone unit. In theback yard, we do not seem to be getting full coverage. Not sure why... the thrid head on the line seems to have under 10 PSI by the time water gets to it. The system he is installing is a Toro System. He is using funny pipe for the entire system. I read that Toro suggests you only use funny pipe within 4 ft of the spray heads. The local supply house told my installer that he could use...

Pressure Issue ?

I have someone installing a sprinkler system on my propert right now. They are using a Toro controller and equipment. Unfortunately they laid the entire system out and installed it without testing my water pressure. Right now, the system is a 2 zone system and the heads are not covering the area he thought they would based on specifications. The water pressure seems to range (based on time of day) from 50 to 60 PSI. I think he has 6-8 spray heads per zone. Anyway.. he is telling me that 50-60 PS...
