Irrigation ToolBox: A NEW!! Item to Add to the Irrigation ToolBox of Knowledge
Ok, do any of the two following situations apply to your system?
Do you have a zone of sprays where some are in sun and some are in shade and you can't run the zone too much or your will saturate the shaded area?
Do you have a station that has both sprays and rotors on the same zone?
Well in years past you would just basically be out of luck. But in recent years a newer technology came out for a nozzle that inserts into a spray body. It uses a spray body but has a precipitation rate of a rotor. So if you had a zone of sprays with heads that were in both sun and shade, then you would want to install the Hunter MP Rotator nozzles or Rain Birds Rotatory nozzles into the spray body's in the shade so that they would distribute the water at a slower rate then those in the sun. And they should also be inserted into the spray bodies on stations that share both sprays and rotors on the same zone.
Below is a pic of what they look like in action and what the part looks like that gets inserted into the spray body.
The nozzles come in all different types of spray patterns from side strips to 30' patterns.

Labels: sprays and rotors on same zone, sun and shade spray zone
