Sprinklers... water meter size?

9 years ago

Hello! Help please! :) My husband and I are going to install our sprinklers ourselves and are submitting some information to RainBird to have them design the layout for us. They are asking what size water meter we have, either 5/8" or 3/4". I looked at our water meter and BOTH sizes are listed there. Does anyone know how to determine which size it is?

I just tackled that same project myself. The only way I could find mine was to log onto my water company's website. It was listed as part of my account info. Might be on your water bill as well.

Can't help you re: the size, but around here you can get a second meter with special (cheaper) billing for a sprinkler. You should consider that if it's available where you live.

You need to step back and take an other picture.
My guess is its 5/8.
Have you done a bucket test yet?
You should call your local water company they will have it on file.

Aslo what are your gallons per minute and pounds per square inch?What size is the line coming in? Is the incoming line pvc, poly or steel?
