It is not easy to select a sprinkler head for a project. The process breaks down to the knowledge of pressure per square inch (PSI) for every sprinkler head offered in its respective aisle. There is one more factors that plays a key role in the selection and tractors the size of a year that you need to irrigate. The first thing that you need to understand is types of irrigation sprinkler heads prevalent in the present day market.

Types of Sprinkler Heads

● Spray Heads: Spray heads are most suitable for medium and small sized landscapes for lawns where the operating pressure ranges between 20 to 30 PSI. A lower PSI means the range of spray head what exceed 15 feet in any direction. So is you are planning to get a spray head you need to ensure your that none of the spray heads are placed for then 15 feet away from each other. If the distance exceeds that your loan will have dry spots here and there. You can also install sprinklers that overlap with each others coverage area to ensure optimum irrigation on hot days. It is one of the most common recommendations from Brighton irrigation service providers. The biggest advantage of spray heads is that they have much higher applications as compared to every other kind of sprinkler head. It means the rate of water spraying is much faster then all the other kinds. You may select between 360, 210, 90, 120, and 180 degrees spray patterns. Each one of these can be installed with fixed prices or pop up spray bodies.

● Rotary Heads: Also known as sprinkler routers these are mostly used in medium to large size launch that need and irrigation system with PSI over 30. If you are going for small sized rotary heads they will easily cover a distance between 15 to 50 feet. Try to make sure that the distance between Rotary head is less than the required PSI for every head. Note that the delivery rate of of rotary heads is slower as compared to spray heads. However, these heads are less vulnerable to wind drifts because the water is delivered in form of a stream instead of fine misty spray. The slower rate of precipitation increases the efficiency of water usage which is a an essential requirement in many parts of Australia.

● Bubblers: Bubblers are designed to deliver large volumes of water quickly in very small spaces like ground covers, area around shrubs, and tree basins. Do not mistake them for small-sized systems which means they are not to be used in lawns and gardens. Bubblers should also be avoided in areas that retain water for long time and gets flooded with little extra supply of water. The ok strictly to be used in porous soils. But if you have large sized fields or extensive landscapes you should try using drip irrigation system instead of installing multiple bubblers. A drip irrigation system will allow you to control wastage of water and ensure optimal water supply to every single plant.
