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.

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.
