Rotary/High-Efficiency Nozzles

Rotary/high-efficiency nozzles fit on most popup spray heads. Instead of a fixed stream of water, rotary/high-efficiency nozzles slowly deliver multiple rotating streams of water, reducing water waste. Because the water is applied more slowly, more water is able to soak into the soil.

Rotary/High-Efficiency Nozzle Benefits

  • Reduced runoff on slopes and clay soils.
  • Easy-to-install retrofits for pop-up irrigation heads.
  • Increased radius range.
  • Considerably less water flow per minute than conventional spray nozzles, reducing water use.
  • Better coverage.
