Regardless of which one you are experiencing, managing pressure is one of the key components in water conservation and in an efficient irrigation system—both of which can save you time and money. With the information and products available today, managing and eliminating the problems that arise from excessive pressure are easily obtainable. To eliminate problems such as high-pressure loss through fittings, pipe and valves, excessive fogging from rotors and spray heads and pressure levels that may be causing inconsistent water—consider these products below.   [![600xl](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/600XL-2.jpg?width=111&height=115&name=600XL-2.jpg)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/600XL-2.jpg) Wilkins 600 [**Wilkins 600 Pressure Regulators**](https://www.ewingirrigation.com/products/pressure-regulators?manufacturer=60): This is a lead-free brass pressure regulator—great for use on a mainline because it  can be operated under continuous pressure. This product comes factory set at 50 PSI, but has a nut on top of the unit to regulate the pressure from 25 to 75 PSI. By using the Wilkins 600, you can manage water hammer and excessive pressure loss throughout your irrigation system. [![Accu-Sync](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Accu-sync-adj-128x300-2.jpg?width=73&height=171&name=Accu-sync-adj-128x300-2.jpg)](https://ewingirrigation-20200354.hs-sites.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Accu-sync-adj-2.jpg) Accu-Sync   [**Hunter Accu-Sync Adjustable Pressure Regulator**](https://www.ewingirrigation.com/accu-sync-adj-adj-pres-reglatr): This device attaches to the solenoid port of any Hunter valve in order to regulate the pressure on the discharge side of the valve. You can use this product on your master valve to manage water pressure for the entire system at one location, or you can use it at the zone control valves at the manifold for dialing in the ideal pressure for each individual zone. This adjustable model eliminates excessive fogging from rotors and spray heads. It also decreases drip zone pressure to achieve peak performance and efficiency.

They are great heads for helping you get matched pressure to all of the nozzles. This allows you to be able to match your precipitation rates while also achieving the distances you need. Both of these heads have the option to be purchased with a check valve and pressure regulator. If you implement these products on your next design, repair or install, you’ll have better luck controlling and managing your high-pressure problems, and have the irrigation system running at peak performance and efficiency in no time.
