Has anyone used this with Low Water Pressure? I'm looking for maximum coverage

I have not used this with low pressure, but moved to this particular model because of high pressure. I would say that because of the light construction of the sprinkler it should do well for you although you will not get the coverage expected with a high pressure system.

I am on a well so don't have "normal" city water pressure. This sprinkler works better than any other I have tried (and believe me, I have tried many). It disperses much more water and at a greater radius than most out there and because it is plastic, it doesn't require the pressure that the comparable metal ones do.

Sorry, I have never had the problem of low water pressure ...... I've always used my Gilmour sprinkler (without problems) w/sufficient water pressure.

We just got out covers late in the season last year but our pool is in ground and it worked fine. The vac ran and everything was fine. We only covered about 60% of our pool because we have solar heat but it seemed to work really good. Looking forward to the full season this year.

YES, I run my unit on maximum 24/7 and it doesn't make anything wet. I live in a high-rise condo in the desert (Reno, NV) but it adds just enough moisture to the air to keep my breathing easier and not so dry as it was without this unit. Coverage is 300 square feet of space. I keep it in the main living area and not in the bedroom as the bedroom is being re-modeled now.

I agree it has to be lower than 40 psi. Probably between 20 and 30 PSA it is designed to protect the pump if the water supply dries up.

I use the 2 sided one, when I want wider coverage - it seems to work, if pivoted while using. You should have gotten 3 or 4 different styles with the wand. Another thing that might work: go to the plumbing department, get a screw on fitting of the right size, then place a cheap shower head on the fitting. That should cover as much as you need.

It is not completely water tight. I have been meaning to buy more weather stripping to seal gaps, but it only leaks with hevy rain. I have two small gaps in the front, near my back window that allows water in. I could easily make the cover more water tight, when I get around to it. Note: i have a plastic bed liner

Hi SLF, Using a gallon pressure sprayer,I covered a 20 x 9, a 20 x 5 and 4x3 awning with 2 light coats, with nothing left. it worked great, no leaks in my sunbrella awning. Hope this info helps!

yes-If you have low water pressure naturally-remove the red screen at the hose connection.Plyers help

Try DripWorks in Willits, CA they have low pressure systems which you can buy by the foot. They are also very willing to give advice. (Sorry but Amazon will not allow me to post a link for you but if you type the name as given and add dot com you will get there) The Miracle Grow soaker probably will not work since it needs at least 25 psi to establish flow.

I have not put anything down to cover any surfaces. The only time water might get on a surface is when you add water. It hasn't been an issue for me.

You would need the 17-19 feet cover so far no water has seeped through as Marshall has recommended do what you can to prevent water puddling up

I use mine in a 19ft travel tailor and it works great, even in really humid places. However, in a large room it will probably fill up too fast and shut off constantly because it does not hold a large amount of water. You may want to try a bigger model.

I use a normal water pressure hose, however it will work with lower water pressure, I hold my finger over the top hole and I get heavy heavy foam, I love this thing its great.

Probably not the most efficient use of this sprinkler. It's better for larger area coverage. I would recommend a circular oscillating sprinkler and control the coverage with water pressure.

Mine splashed everywhere and bought something different. Keep the as low as u can. Good luck

Water pro here. It will work marginally at these low pressures. The membrane does the fine "cleaning" and will not be as effective and be short-lived unless you have pretty good water to start with (and even then 30psi is likely too low). A submersible pump with 40-60 psi is good (and can be set higher than that). The above ground ("jet") pumps don't do as well. The booster pump typically get's it up to around 80psi. Water pressure is the force that drives and flushes the system. City water that I've seen is usually about 50 psi.
