Tip #16: Choosing an efficient rotary sprinkler head

Our industry is ever changing and irrigation water efficiency products are all around us. When choosing a rotary sprinkler head for your irrigation system you should consider whether or not there are there elevation changes, the way the head sprays water, adjustability and efficiency. For elevation changes, there are check valves that keep water from drizzling out of the heads when the irrigation cycle is complete. Ask your irrigation contractor to demonstrate or for photos of the rotary heads in action, you will then be able to see how they spray water differently. Ask your irrigation contractor to show you how to adjust your rotary heads so that you can make adjustments as your yard's landscape changes.
