What brand rotors should I commit to?
Hello all. You guys have always been great, and everything I have learned about sprinklers are from your kind, good help. I have had great success ordering from sprinkler warehouse, and consider you all my sprinkler gurus.
I bought a Florida home about 2 years ago, and have since then replaced all 4 of my valves, and many rotors and sprayers, moved some pipes, etc,etc. I seem to have about 3-4 different brands of rotors in the yard, and would like to make them all the same down the road.
I see they are having a blowout sale now, and although I will not be back there until May, I think I'll place an order.
I think I'm deciding between the Hunter PGP rotors and the Rainbird 5004Plus. I think both of them seem easy to adjust. The rainbirds are a bit less expensive, and their ads and brochures make them sound like the best, better spray, bigger droplets, greener grass, you can turn it off at the head, etc,etc......they sound like the best, but then again, Hunters seem to be better liked by the pros. What are your opinions?? I'd like to order a bunch to start my "upgrade", getting rid of the K-12's, etc.
I also have some K-12's in the yard, but I can't seem to adjust them, the tool I have does not go deep enough, so I don't like them. I also have some Nelson Pros....I did figure them out....not too hard moving those little fingers, etc.
I'm down there a month at a time, and usually down there in May and October. It seems every time I'm down there I'm replacing a rotor or two due to the mowers hurting them. For that reason, I think I'll order a few of those swivel connector things.
I also may order a new rain gauge.....that Hunter Rainclik looks like it is fancier then the regular one I now have.
I thank you in advance for your kind direction.
