You need a larger diameter hose because of the hydraulic friction loss . Depending on your setup, you might try opperating only two sprinklers at a time. If you still can not opperate the farthest sprinklers on the run, in this manner, try increasing the diameter of your hose.

We have just planted our spring vegetable garden, and we require six sprinklers in order to adequately irrigate it. Well, when all of the sprinklers are hooked up and the hose turned on, some of the end sprinklers aren't getting enough water with which to function. Admittedly, there is a lot of hose, well over a hundred yards. So naturally there are issues with water pressure. Turning up the pressure gage on the well pump doesn't seem to help the matter at all. Aside from getting a new pump, which I can't afford, is there any product or appliance I can buy, or any sort of procedure I could perform that would give me more water pressure in order to irrigate my garden? Thanks so much in advance. Bright Blessings, RiverWind [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
