Pressure

It seems that I get less pressure at the sprinkler at the end of zone--farthest from control valves--leaving an area with less water distribution. How can I be sure of equal pressure at all sprinkler heads?

If you have rotor heads, change nozzles to redistribute water.

While I'm not so sure about rotors, if you have spray bodies and a little extra working pressure, you can get spray bodies with 30psi pressure regulators built into them. This was my solution for a system that starts with about 70psi static water pressure using MPRotators.
