Some time in the past I discovered an interesting issue at my house.

For reasons I cannot recall, I woke up at 4 AM. While up I decided to check out my sprinklers.

They were spraying very weekly. Not far enough to get proper coverage.

What I learned was that the pressure can change quite a bit for reasons I never investigated. I changed the time so they now end at 7AM and pressure is great.

I put a pressure gauge in the box (as I was curious) and see quite a variance of static pressure depending on time.
