Water Hammer in Sprinkler Systems

In a sprinkler system, water hammer can occur when valves open or close quickly, causing rapid changes in water flow. Over time, repeated water hammer events can damage the piping, fittings, or even the sprinkler heads themselves. Luckily, you can mitigate these effects with a water hammer arrestor. During a surge event, your sprinkler system’s water hammer arrestor absorbs the shock wave, preventing it from transmitting through the piping system.

Water Hammer Arrestor FAQs

What is water hammer, and why is it a problem?

Water hammer is a pressure surge or shock wave caused by the sudden stopping or change in flow of water in a piping system. It can cause loud banging noises, pipe vibrations, and eventually damage to the surrounding valves and fittings. A water hammer arrestor absorbs the energy of the pressure surge and dissipates it, preventing damage to the system.

Where should a water hammer arrestor be installed?

Typically, water hammer arrestors for a sprinkler system should be installed near the source of the water hammer, which is usually near valves that open and close frequently.

Can I install a water hammer arrestor myself?

Yes, if you installed your own irrigation system, you can probably install a water hammer arrestor by yourself. However, if local plumbing codes require professional installation, it's best to hire a licensed plumber.

Why Are Pressure Gauges Important?

Sprinkler system pressure gauges are invaluable tools for maintaining a healthy and efficient irrigation system. By ensuring proper water pressure, they help achieve uniform coverage and extend the life of the system components. In addition to preventing overwatering and underwatering, an irrigation pressure gauge also helps protect your system components like pipes, valves, and sprinklers from pressure damage. Save water and energy by installing a water pressure meter today.

Pressure Gauge FAQs

Where is a pressure gauge installed in a sprinkler system?

Depending on the type of gauge, they can be installed at the water source, within the irrigation piping, or on the pumps, to monitor pressure output from your water pumps.

What is the ideal pressure range for sprinklers?

The ideal pressure varies depending on the type of sprinklers you have installed. Fixed spray heads will usually only need 20–30 PSI, rotor sprinklers will require 30–50 PSI, and drip irrigation systems will only need 10–30 PSI. When in doubt, check the manufacturer guidelines for specific pressure recommendations.

What should I do if the pressure gauge shows high or low pressure?

If the pressure is too high, consider installing a pressure regulator to reduce the pressure. You can also shop for pressure-reducing sprinkler heads or valves. If the pressure is too low, start by checking for leaks, clogs, or blockages in the pipes or valves. If necessary, also ensure the pump is functioning correctly. When there are no signs of damage or blockage, consider adding a booster pump to increase pressure.
