If your sprinklers were set up properly, your pump should continue to run all the time the sprinklers are working. This saves wear and tear on the motor. Cycling is the worse thing you can do to a pump and motor.

Can you bury sch 40 PVC pipe?

Depends on what it is used for. Typically this is what you can find in your lawn sprinkler system. If it is under a roadway you will have to bury it deeper than the normal (Cal 18").


How does a fire sprinkler valve water flow alarm actuate?

There are several different types of water-flow alarms:paddle-wheel gong, where flowing water directly turns a clapper on a bell;pressure-drop sensors, which activate an electrical alarm when a sprinkler opens;water-flow sensors inside pipes, which activate an electrical alarm; andwater-presence sensors that detect water in a pipe where it normal is excluded.Other types of sensors simply detect when a valve is moved to a new position, either manually or automatically.


When the ball lies near a water sprinkler can I make a drop without penalty just to have a better stance?

Check local rules for full ruling. But the official rule is, if the sprinkler head affects your stance, or is within two club lengths of your line of play you are entitled to a free drop. You take your free drop as normal, within one club length from the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole.


What causes low water pressure from a deep well to a sprinkler system but not to the house?

More than likely it is the size of the (supply) pipe from the pump to the system. If you have a larger supply going to the house and less demand (one facuet on vs. 4 sprinkler heads on) the presure will be greater in the house. If you increase the size of the supply to the system it will help. Just remember presure and volume work in concert with each other. GOOD LUCK!ANS 2 - Systems like this always work better if the well pipe goes directly to the pressure tank. At the tank outlet you have two pipes, one to house, one to irrigation. A larger tank than normal is necessary too, at least a 100 gal tank, operating at 50-80 psi is desirable.


What is the function of the pump?

The purpose of the jockey pump is to keep the water pressure in the pipes within a specific range when there's not a fire, so that the sprinklers won't go off randomly. Since pipes leak, over time, the water pressure inside them automatically goes down. The jockey pump senses this, and then fills them back up to normal pressure. If a fire happens and the pressure drops dramatically, the jockey pump won't be able to keep up, and the drop in pressure will trigger the large fire pump to start sending water. Secondarily, this pump prevents sprinkler systems from being damaged when the fire pump begins sending water. If a system does not have a jockey pump keeping it pressurized, it may have a relatively low pressure. When the fire pump starts sending highly pressurized water through the pipes, the sudden change in pressure can damage or destroy the system.

When you drain an above-ground pool can you safely use the water to water your moisture-starved landscape?

Normal chroline level in pool water is nothing more than tap water out of the faucet. As long as the pool water tests normal when testing with your pool test kit, you can let your grass enjoy the water. I do it all the time when draining rain water off my above the ground pool. I put a pump in the pool and run a garden hose to the sprinkler. The grass does well.


What numbers represent normal blood pressure?

Normal blood pressure is measured by two numbers that represent how much mercury is in your blood. A completely normal blood pressure reads: Below 120 / below 80.
