Anyone use this with low water pressure? How well does it work? (My pressure is awful!)

It seems to work on low pressure as well as any similar sprinkler. It leaks where the hose screws in no matter how tight I tighten it. The tripod part works quite well.

I have my own well so my water pressure fluctuates as the pressure rises and falls. This sprinkled worked fine for me in those changing conditions.

If your water pressure is too low, this, or any other impulse sprinkler will not reverse direction when it hits the preset stop. If you just water 360 degree circle it should work ok as long as you have 30 lbs pressure.

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

You can adjust the water pressure. At low pressure these won't be problematic.

Make sure u take out the plug in the head that regulates the water pressure. Then it's wonderful!! It works like a charm...u will love it!

It is very adequate. You probably need good pressure on the input side for this to work well. we had no issues with water pressure.

The valve is battery operated, so I see no reason why it should not work with your lower pressure. You may have to set it for a longer water duration time to get the amount of water you want.

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.

It does not do well with normal house water pressure. I would think using it with a pressure washer would be a disaster.

Pressure is great! I've had mine for at least 6 months and still works awesome.

Depends on how low. My pressure is pretty low as well about 40-45 psi and still works great!

I personally used it on items that were subject to water and moisture and had somewhat positive results. I have not used it where there would be any sort of pressure as in a pressure washer. For the price I would try it but I would also "duct tape" the area just to be sure the hole does not blow out. love to find out how you made out???

My water pressure won't win any races either, but I found this worked just fine for my purposes. I have a lot of hanging plants and tender veggies that I don't want a full force spray to damage them either.

I know my home has higher than normal water pressure, and 3 out of 3 of these stopped working reliably for me after less than a dozen uses, so I think they can't hand anything higher than the typical pressure range of water mains. I wouldn't be surprised if 200 psi blew the thing up.

I don't think water pressure has much to do with this unit, I am very happy with mine, it is more with pressure in the house, and I know water pressure is an issue in my house.

No problem with water pressure. We have two. One in our bar sink. Both work great

We did not get it for the pressure. We got it for the ease of cleaning and the size. Our water pressure is fine. We just installed one for my 81 year old mother and she loves it.

My house has marginal water pressure to begin with - barely enough to sustain a pressure washer with a normal hose. I tried with one of these and it was no better or worse - actually performed better than I would've expected - until it burst a week later.
