What Is Irrigation Water Pressure?
Irrigation water pressure is the force per unit area exerted by water within an irrigation supply or device.
Static and Operating Pressure
Static pressure is measured without water flowing. Operating pressure is measured while the system runs and can be lower because water moving through hoses and fittings loses pressure. A closed-tap reading alone does not establish performance during watering.
IrriSense 2 Product Context
IrriSense 2 is hose-connected and its product documentation discusses pressure stability. Follow the current manual for the specific model and region when checking supply conditions; this entry does not set an operating-pressure requirement.
Common Misunderstanding
Pressure and flow rate are different. Higher pressure does not automatically mean better or more uniform watering. Both supply conditions and equipment design matter.
