I have mowed the lawns a couple of times now and they were starting to look dry, especially the path to my [shed] office. I removed the elbow and timers, ran the sprinkler, and just came inside and set a timer--the first time. The sprinkler probably ran for an hour or two in the same spot.
So, I need to bring the timer out with me and set it before I walk inside?
I am curious how much the extra hardware reduced water pressure.
