Rainbird HE-VAN nozzles
Does anyone else use these? I ordered around 20 of them, hoping they would be the "one size fits all" solution I was hoping for, but unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way. My principal problem is that they don't seem to spray the advertised 15ft, while the U-series nozzles make that distance just fine. Granted, I don't know what my water pressure is, but it seems like they should match; the precipitation rate and water flow out of the HE-VANs match the MPR nozzles, so it's not like the HE-VANs are using more water and lowering the pressure to cause that issue.
I've backed up and went with the U-series on most of my heads instead. Where the distance isn't critical, the HE-VANs work very well. It's just too bad they aren't working out in my system. The good news is that my DU is around 66% for my sprays and 72% for my rotor zones, so I 'm doing pretty good...
