Q: What is the largest sprinkler I can use with just a garden hose?

A: A garden hose connected to a spigot on city water or a domestic well usually has a flow rate of 10-12 gpm, with a working pressure of 40-60 psi.

We have sprinkler carts, sleds, and tripods, which will connect to a garden hose and accommodate common household flow and pressure.
