This is 1 of 5 videos that talks all about irrigation and watering your lawn Rather than making ONE long video and rambling on for 15 minutes we decided to make a short series of videos that specifically answer your questions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this video, we answer the question, "How Much Water Does My Sprinkler / Irrigation System put out?".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is an overview of the process if you want to read it first, but I will go through each step of the process in more detail…
STEP 1 - Place the cups in the ground in an area representative of the lawn's irrigation system.
STEP 2 - Run the irrigation for 15 minutes. Measure and record the amount of water in each individual cup. Move the cups and repeat.
STEP 3 - After several sample measurements have been recorded find an average and multiply by four. This will give you the amount of water output (in inches) per hour of watering.

So once you have figured out how much water you’re getting in an hour how do you determine how much water your lawn needs?

Here’s a video that talks about how much water a lawn needs. In short it’s about 1 inch of water a week depending on where you live. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5NpktKTt7a7ZZc.html

Daisy Duke's Landscaping thank you. I wound up watching every other one of your videos as well. Love your videos though. I’ve had a heck of a time with the new sod in my Florida yard so I look forward to more videos from you! Thanks!

Great info. I bought 10 of these cups and most areas are 1 inch in 20 mins but I have a bald thin area that gets less than .5 in in 20 minutes. Does this mean I need to up the time to 30 minutes to get at least .5 to 1 inch in that one area even if other areas get more?
