Learn Your Water Supply

To buy the right supplies for your project, you need to learn the following specific information about the water supply in your home, including water pressure, water meter size, service line size, and flow rate.

👉Water pressure
To determine this number in PSI (pounds per square inch) at an outside faucet, you'll need a pressure gauge. Remember to turn off the water faucets, which include both indoors and outdoors, when you reading the pressure number. And then, send the information about this number to your manufacturers with a sketch of your property to receive the right component for your sprinkler system.
👉Water Meter Size
There are two measurements: water meter size and well pump size. If your water source comes from a municipal system, you could find the size information on the meter, or on the utility bill. If it's not there, contact your water provider for the meter size.

If you're using a well, you'll need to determine the size of your pump by looking at the manufacturer's instructions.
