What is the average gallons per hour of water used in a residential sprinkler system?

"The average sprinkler will use in excess of 240 gallons of water per hour" also refer to http://www.libertylake.org/water_conservation.htm
for watering guide.
As a useful gauge: A garden hose with no nozzle attached, will spew out as much as 350 gallons per hour. So 240 sounds about right for a sprinkler system, keeping in mind that it will vary with your local water pressure and type of sprinkler system that you have. If your system has a damaged sprinkler head, you might as well be running that garden hose full blast.
My sprinkler system uses 1,000 gallons in a three hour time cycle. I have six or seven zones. I suspect some of my heads are busted, since that sounds about like "garden hose figures." (333 gallons per hour)

∙ 13y agoI'm guessing that nearly all sprinklers vary, along with the amount of pressure and volume of your water hose, so we use what we call a bucket test. You start your sprinkler, put it in a 5 gallon bucket and time it to see how long it takes to fill up. You take this time and divide it by 5 and you know the gallons per minute your sprinkler is capable of.
