Reading about irrigation sprinklers (example product), I see a certain recommended PSI. With interest in powering an existing irrigation zone from the hose bib attached to the property, it seems prudent to know the PSI available at the hose bib. How can I test this? Is there a DIY option, or an inexpensive tool? (If possible, it would be nice if this tool could be reusable for other applications too, as most of us DIY folk would likely be more amenable to purchasing a tool if it were reusable for other procedures.)

Yes, you want a water pressure gauge with a female hose thread. There are some on Amazon for less than US$10.
