Background
Pressure-regulating spray heads restrict water pressure to the range recommended by the manufacturer. Use of these heads increases application efficiency.
Requirements and certification
All zones with spray nozzles are pressure-regulated at the head or at the zone valve.

All spray heads or zone valves within a Florida Water Star-certified irrigation system must be pressure-regulated to receive credit for this practice. During inspection, the Inspector is to confirm that all spray heads or spray zones are pressure-regulated.
Program tip
Florida Water Star Inspectors can easily inspect for pressure-regulated spray heads during their inspection for emitter spacing, matched precipitation, and other requirements that require establishment of spray head specifications.
