How Sprinkler System Calculations Are Determined
Sprinkler system calculations are based on the water supply, the landscape’s water demand, and the performance of each sprinkler zone. Dallas Landscape & Irrigation uses these calculations to help size zones correctly and support even coverage across the property.
Key factors usually include:
- Water pressure and flow rate from the available supply
- Sprinkler head type and nozzle output
- Zone size and shape
- Planting areas and turf requirements
- Pipe layout and friction loss
- Backflow and valve capacity
These numbers help determine how many heads can run on a zone without overloading the system. They also guide head spacing, pipe sizing, and valve selection so the design performs efficiently once installed.
Why it matters:
- Helps reduce dry spots and overspray
- Supports better water use on the property
- Improves system balance across different landscape areas
