How to Choose Spray Heads

Spray heads are pop-up sprinklers for small or oddly shaped areas, throwing a fixed fan typically 4 to 15 ft. The head is a pop-up body; a separate nozzle sets the pattern and radius. Pop-up heights of 4, 6, and 12 in. clear low turf, taller grass, and groundcover.

Choose a pressure-regulated (PRS) body where inlet pressure runs high to stop misting and save water. Keep spray heads and rotors in separate zones, since they apply water at very different rates.
