Sometimes simply adjusting your sprinkler heads can make cover the area you need to cover. In other cases, your sprinkler system may need an additional zone of irrigation. In rare cases, a sprinkler head can be added to an existing irrigation zone, however, it is important that the capability of the system for water flow be considered before adding a head to any zone of irrigation.

Take a quick look at your irrigation system. Do you have rotors (the ones that move) and sprayers (fixed) mixed together on a zone? If so you are definitely getting uneven watering and that needs to be corrected. Simply making that correction will save you some money. Mixing head types on a zone is a big no-no.

Hunter makes an I-20 rotor that will enable you to turn it off while still running the rest of the sprinkler heads on that zone/station. Very cool, particularly if you make frequent changes to your landscape or need less water somewhere to prepare for planting (so it's not muddy)....Rainbird also makes a rotor that is similar but it is not standard with the shut-off so you will have to hadd it on as option on the 5000 series Rainbird rotors.
We used the I-20 (plastic version) at the Kia plant just so they would have that flexability later and would avoid a lot of maintenance costs.

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.
