with sprinklers for the yard. I have used those sprinklers that throw

I've bought new ones (which are now plastic) and even tried different
kinds
and I can pee further than these things can spray. I thought it might be

at about 40psi. We have really heavy lime but I see no signs of that

the problem. After all, there is plenty pressure at the end of the hose.
Just when you hook up those sprinklers it's blah.

It's not just pressure, flow rate is critical as well. There's a
great site that has irrigation tutorials. Google and you'll find it.

Thanks
