Even if you can squirt enough water through ½" pipe to keep the pump from cycling, you still have to use exactly the same number of hoses and sprinklers every time. If it takes 8 sprinklers to keep the pump from cycling, then you ALWAYS have to run 8 sprinklers. You can never run 7 sprinklers, or 2 sprinklers, or the pump cycles itself to death. I use to try to "balance" the system and tell the homeowners they always have to run 8 sprinklers at a time. Then I realized after having to warranty countless pumps that were cycled to death, that a home owner is not going to always drag out 8 hoses and 8 sprinklers every time they need to irrigate. Especially when they realize that while running 8 sprinklers, they have low pressure in the house. They always end up using less sprinklers, because it is easier and leaves them better pressure in the house. As I have said many times, you can "engineer" and "balance" your irrigation system to exactly match the pump, or you can just use a Cycle Stop Valve. This will let you run any number of sprinklers you want, and still have constant pressure in the house.
Any pressure higher than 75 PSI in the house, and the one handle faucets start leaking in short order. The solenoid valves on the cloths and dish washers cause a water hammer thump. Even the toilet valves will thump when they close. Jacking the pressure up to 60/80 or higher decreases the draw down in the pressure tank.
Using pressure reducing valves on the house lines does give constant pressure in the house but, the pump is cycling while this is happening. Also, pressure reducing valve do what is called "creep". That means in a static, or no flow condition, even though the pressure reducing valve is set at 50 PSI, the pressure on the house will "creep" up to 80 PSI, or the same as the pump system maximum pressure. So when you open a faucet, you get a burst of high pressure before the pressure reducing valve brings the pressure back to 50 PSI.
People have been trying to "engineer" and "balance" around needing a Cycle Stop Valve for years. Wouldn't it be better to just learn how to utilize the tools that are available, instead of spending so much time trying to figure a way around them? You can also drive a nail with a rock, and then you wouldn't need any "speciality" tools. But a hammer is the best way to drive a nail, and a CSV is a best way of controlling pumps. Using the right tool for the job makes every bodies life easier.
