i just finished laying out the pvc lines for my sprinkler system. i used a pvc pipe cutter to cut the pipes and i cleaned it of all the sharp edges. but i wasnt able to debur the inside of the pipe. someone told me to use a deburring tool but i couldn't find one. but i made sure that it was clean and had no burrs. will it affect the flow of water?

The only thing a burr will do is cause turbulence in the water. Using a PVC cutter should not have produced any appreciable burrs. I have a habit of running a knife blade around the inside of the cuts but I won't say it is absolutely necessary.

You can take some coarse sandpaper or even a knife and get the inside edges of the PVC, but you shouldn't have a problem unless there is a huge amount of burring(?) on the inside of the pipe which is unlikely since you already checked. Sounds like you'll be haveing nooo problems.

Not worth the effort to clean out the inside--water flow will not be noticed. If you used 5/8 inch pipe for the lawn their will be no effect. Half inch pipe you have already limited the flow of water. Good luck adding additional heads with the half inch pipe. 5/8 would not have made any problems.

No, next time just use steel wool or sandpaper.
