Well pump cycling with sprinklers

[Clearlyviewing]

Whenever I run my sprinkler system, my well pump will cycle on for about 1:40 and then off for :40. The output of the sprinkler system is obviously not matching the output of the pump. I am afraid the pump with cycle itself to death. I’m wondering if adjusting some of the sprinkler nozzles (Hunter PGP) to a higher output nozzle will help solve this problem? Or is there a better solution? Pump is set to 40/60.
Thanks for the help!

I suspect replacing nozzles to higher gpm could cause the pressure to settle in the 50 psi, give or take, level.

Like has been said, either put on enough sprinklers to keep the pump from cycling itself to death or use a Cycle Stop Valve so you can water anyway you want without hurting the pump.
