I've been doing a lot of research on the web to try and put together a proper sprinkler system in my backyard. Here is a brief background as to what I have now, I've tied in right before my pressure regulator to gain additional pressure and I have a static pressure now of 106psi. I'm going to put a regulator downstream closer to my valves to lower is to around 85psi so I don't blow my sprinklers apart.
My delima is this. I have 1" going to meter, then 3/4" copper coming out of meter running about 20' to house where I've tied in and switch to sch40 for my sprinklers. I'd like to run 1" from where I tied it because my run to my backyard is 105'. This would give me more GPM but since I have the 20' of 3/4" from the meter to the where I can tie in is it worth putting the 1" to the backyard, or sould I just stick with 3/4".
Thanks for your thoughts/suggestions.
