Hardly anyone has fire suppression sprinklers though, so my use (and anyone else with fire suppression) wouldn't matter. That, and it only flows 1 GPM (or is it CFM? Having difficulty making sense of my water meter). This is my 2 sprinklers running.



What percent of neighborhoods have hydrants anyhow? Mine does, but it seems somewhat uncommon.
