HOW THE FLOW TEST WORKS:
High water pressure wastes water—because
as pressure increases, so does flow rate.
To test this effect, we ramped up the water
pressure to 75 psi for Rain Bird PRS sprays and
competitive non-PRS sprays. We watched
the flow rate of each spray to see how
increased pressure affected it.
HOW THE PRESSURE DROP TEST WORKS:
Common on many commercial sites, pressure fluctuations can cause some PRS sprays to over or
undershoot their intended target. As a result, you could be putting down too much water—or not
enough. For the pressure drop test, we raised inlet pressure to 100 psi then dropped it to 50. We looked
at the effect on outlet pressure and measured the distance of each spray’s throw.
With Rain Bird PRS, you'll be swimming in savings.
