AnswerIf you have a pressure system with a tank, there should be a pressure switch that controls the pressure. If it pumps directly into the system, it could be a little tricky. You dont want to damage the pump, which is possible by simply installing a device that reduces pressure to the irrigation system. Since you need a considerable reduction in pressure, you may want to consult a pump dealer about whether or not you can reduce the pressure, or need to install a pressure system to regulate it.
