I was all set to buy a bunch of rainbird 1800 heads when I saw this orbit head that has a hard brass cap. Seems like a great idea since my gardener is always damaging my heads along the sidewalk. These weren't the typical cheap obit heads, I think they were about 4 bucks and seemed well made. Am I asking for trouble going with the orbits. I guess if I set the rainbird spray heads right at grade it would be harder to get damaged.
Also....are the rainbird dual spray nozzles worth the extra cost. They claim these nozzles spray two arcs ensuring better coverage close to the head. Prone to clogs?
Finally, are adjustable arc nozzles (0 to 360 degrees) reliable or should I stick with fixed arcs whenever possible?
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
