How far can OtO reach?

OtO can reach up to 40 feet in a single direction with the right conditions. Learn about how far OtO can reach with a given water pressure.

Each unit can reach up to 40 feet in a single direction, meaning it can water any shape within a ~5,000 sqft circle.

Note that OtO requires a minimum water pressure of 40 - 80 PSI and that reach varies with water pressure and hose set-up. Read below for more information.

How far does OtO reach?

Under optimal conditions, OtO can reach up to 40 feet, meaning it can water any shape within a 5,000 sqft circle.

Reach varies with water pressure and hose set-up. Please note, OtO does not have a pump inside, therefore it's max reach is completely dependent on your home's water pressure. However, it is not the only factor on your device's reach. 

There are several other influences to keep in mind:

• Municipal water supply, how many homes are sharing the same supply as well as your distance from the supply
• Your home's elevation
• Your home's plumbing system including pipe size and material and pressure regulators
• Your hose set-up, including the hose and any splitters, backflow valves or connectors

As a result, measuring your home's water pressure is a good baseline to guesstimate how far OtO will reach, but it doesn't tell us the full story.

Instead, you can use the table and graph below to estimate how far your OtO will reach with a given water pressure (measured at hose-end). Note that you are most likely to get a maximum reach somewhere near the average for a given water pressure.

For example, if you have a water pressure of 60 psi, you can expect a maximum reach somewhere between 30-40 feet.

Based on our field data.

Not sure what your water pressure is? 

We recommend getting a pressure gauge from your local hardware store to measure it yourself, but the average household in the USA and Canada has between 40 and 80 psi.

If the water pressure is too low, it can lead to poor performance of plumbing fixtures, like weak showers and slow-filling toilets. On the other hand, if the pressure is too high (i.e. greater than 80 psi), it can stress the plumbing system and potentially lead to failures and leaks.
 

How can I measure my water pressure?

The easiest way to measure your water pressure is by using a pressure gauge from a local hardware store. For details, check out this article!
