I've tried:
1. Rainbird R-VAN24 MAROON 5.2 to 7.3m
2. Hunter MP Rotator MP3000 BLUE 6.7 to 9.1m
3. K-RAIN Rotary Nozzle RED 7.9 to 9.1m
to try and get good coverage for my 120 SqM (12m x 10m) front lawn with mixed results.
Setup with:
1. 4x 90* on corners
2. 2x 180* in middle of the 12m run.
I believe the installer really should've split into 2 runs of 3, (2x 90* and 1x 180*) as none of the above give me 100% coverage and I get varying results.
My findings, I don't get maximum throw with any because I think too many sprays on the one line:
1. Rainbird R-VAN24 MAROON 5.2 to 7.3m throw is lacking but nozzles rotate well
2. Hunter MP Rotator MP3000 BLUE 6.7 to 9.1m give me a longer throw but give me dry patches just in front of the nozzles and worst flaw is they can stop rotating and I have to spin the rotating nozzle but will stop again at some time
3. K-RAIN Rotary Nozzle RED 7.9 to 9.1m give me good coverage, not maximum throw of 9.1m but the nozzles all rotate consistently.
At this stage I'm staying with the K-RAIN RED as overall coverage is best and they are rotating consistenly
