Are rotary nozzles worth it?
The pros. Generally, rotor heads are the better choice for larger areas of turf. They have a low precipitation rate, so they will evenly cover more area over a longer period of time. This is ideal for sloped areas because it allows more time for water absorption.
What does MP Rotator stand for?
Matched Precipitation
MP stands for Matched Precipitation. An MP rotator is water saving irrigation equipment that converts spray heads easily. MP rotators reduce water use while making the irrigation systems more efficient. MP Rotator Sprinkler Heads. Reduce Your Use!
How many MP rotators can you put on a zone?
The standard MP Rotators have a matched precipitation rate of approximately 0.4 in/hr. This means any standard MP Rotator at any arc or radius can be placed on the same zone….Customer Type:
| Body Color | Black | Grey |
| Radius (ft.) | 8-35 | 6-16 |
| Warranty | 3 Years | 3 Years |
| FEATURES | ||
| Arc | 45-360 | 90-360 |
Do MP rotators save water?
The multiple rotating streams of the MP Rotator apply water more efficiently. The slow application rate allows water to gently soak into the soil with an even distribution of water throughout the irrigated area. This increased efficiency results in 30% less water use when compared to traditional sprays.
Can you mix rotary and spray sprinklers?
Rotor heads, spray heads, matched precipitation etc all throw water at a different rate. Mixing them in the same zone will waste large amounts of water, and create a huge imbalance that causes overwatering and underwatering. Choose the type of sprinkler head you want in that zone, and replace the others.
How long do MP rotators last?
Fact: The Snopes web site says the Twinkie does not have an infinite shelf life; its listed shelf life is approximately 25 days and generally remains on a store shelf for only 7 to 10 days.
How deep do you trench for sprinklers?
6 to 12 inches
Dig for Your Sprinkler System The trenches will be relatively shallow, usually 6 to 12 inches deep, depending on your area’s freeze cycles and frost severity. The trench must also be deep enough to allow the sprinklers to retract underground to prevent breakage from lawn machines.
How do I know what size sprinkler nozzle to get?
one will need a nozzle 1/2 the size. (Remember: when you reduce the RADIUS by 1/3 you reduce the AREA by a little more than half.) Avoid using rotors with nozzle flows that are less than 2.5 GPM, except in corners (quarter circle patterns). Flows under 2.5 GPM give very poor coverage due to the tiny water stream.
How long should you run MP rotators?
I recommend 60 minutes per rotor zone running 2 days per week, and that should replace that 1″ of water lost from evaporation.
What kind of nozzle does a Hunter MP Rotator use?
Hunter MP100090 90-210 Degree Rotator Nozzle (Female Threads) (10 Pack)The revolutionary MP Rotator features a unique, multi-trajectory rotating stream delivery system that achieves water-conserving results. Rather than simply spray water onto landscapes, MP Rotators deliver multiple streams of water at a steady rate.
How does the MP Rotator sprinkler stream nozzle work?
Featuring a multi-stream rotor for optimal water conservation in old and new irrigation systems, the MP Rotator Sprinkler Stream Nozzle transforms spray-head bodies and shrub adapters into high-uniformity, low-prescription-rate sprinklers. The nozzle features an adjustable arc of 90 – 210 Degree and easy radius reduction of up to 25%.
Can a MP Rotator be installed on a spray head?
The MP Rotator can be installed onto any conventional spray head body or shrub adapter, transforming them into high uniformity, low precipitation rate sprinklers with matched precipitation at any arc and any radius.
What should the pressure be on the MP Rotator?
Use the MP-HT for female-threaded spray bodies. RADIUS FT. Bold = Optimal pressure for the MP Rotator is 40 PSI. This can easily be achieved by using the MP Rotator with the Hunter Pro-Spray PRS40 pressure regulated at 40 PSI.
