SPRINKLER TALK FORUM - You Got Questions, We've Got Answers

yes... I quite like them in retrofit situations... nice solution to installations that have lost pressure over time. I think these are better engineered than the Rainbird ones, but the RB's are a better precip match to the RB rotors I usually use.

Yes, and I highly recommend them. I retrofitted 3 zones on a 10-yr old Toro 570P system to all MP Rotators about 18 months ago. System efficiency went from about 50% to 85% and the turf has never looked better. All the dead-spots disappeared and coverage is excellent. The only negative (a very minor one) is that some of the Rotators seem to be turning a little slower than when they were new, but they still get the job done. One tip: think about using a pressure-compensating sprayhead (~30psi at the head) for maximum efficiency. In short, the MP Rotators have done everything they are advertised to do.

Sprinkler warehouse does not seem to carry these. Any internet or mail order sources??

Try this link and click the map where you live. You should be able to find a source nearby that carries the Rotators:

If you can't find a dealer nearby, I would contact the company at this site:

I'd be willing to bet they would UPS/FedEx/USPS what you needed
