Sprinkler Head Calculator
Calculate sprinkler head requirements for your irrigation system. Determine coverage, flow rate, spacing, and water requirements for optimal lawn and garden irrigation.
Step 1: Area & Layout
Understanding Sprinkler Coverage
Different sprinkler heads have varying coverage patterns and ranges. Rotor heads cover larger areas (15-50 ft), while spray heads are ideal for smaller areas (5-15 ft). Proper spacing ensures even water distribution.
Step 2: Water & Performance
About Sprinkler Performance
Water pressure (PSI) affects sprinkler coverage and performance. Higher pressure increases throw distance but can cause misting and uneven distribution. Optimal pressure is typically 30-50 PSI for most residential sprinklers.

Sprinkler Calculation Formula
Heads Required = Area / (Coverage per Head)
The number of sprinkler heads is calculated by dividing the total area by the coverage area of each sprinkler. Coverage area depends on sprinkler type, spacing pattern, and water pressure.
