Hey all. So Im redoing my backyard to make it more of a tropical jungle esque look. Anyhow Im planning to run some more sprinklers in the back to get full coverage. I want to know if there is some rule of thumb for how many sprinklers can go on a line before it will begin losing pressure? Or if there is a simple way to find this out before hand Also, is there any kind of 'sprinkler hose' that would sit on the ground like a soaker hose but shoot water in the air a good 6-8 feet (distance only needs to be like 6 ft). I have a 75 ft stretch and plan to leave a 1-1.5ft walkway so I can get back there. Thought I could just have this hose to water the plants. I would want it hooked to my sprinkler line though, and not an actual hose. I went to Lowes and didnt see anything like this so maybe its a bad idea or maybe it just doesnt exist Thanks!

Hi team, First post here and I am hoping it is a simple fix. I didn't use my lawn's sprinkler system for the past 2 seasons. I decided that I would use it this year. I charged the system, tested the zones and replaced any broken heads. I discovered a leak coming from the vent in my Watts 009 backflow preventer when the system was off. I ordered the relief valve service kit, and replaced all of the parts. However, when I turned the water back on, water continuously sprays out of the water outlet. If I turn the system on, the leak stops. I have pulled out both the first and second check valve assemblies and made sure they were clean and free to move. Any ideas on how to fix this is greatly appreciated. My sprinkler company gave me an estimate of $450 to come out and rebuild the whole unit. I'm not quite ready to part with that kind of cabbage for what seems like a very simple device. Thanks, Mike
