Find your flow
How many sprinklers can your home water run?
A two-minute bucket test estimates how many sprinklers you can run at once from your home's hose bib. No pump required.
Works on city water or a private well. Test at the hose bib you'll use.
1. How many hose bibs will you use?
Running more than one? Open them all at the same time and fill one bucket per bib together. Hose bibs share a supply line, so testing them one at a time reads high.
2. Time the bucket
Open the bib all the way and time how long a 5-gallon bucket takes to fill.

Run it in zones
You can run 3 heads at once. That does not cap how many you own. Most homes run in zones: you set up full coverage, then open the valve on the side the fire is coming from. A 3-head supply covers a Starter Kit run one zone at a time.
