Sir, in my opinion it's a huge mistake to "turn the stem" to adjust the pop-up to the correct position for watering. Why? I used to do this but what happens is that you will strip the plastic inside so then when the sprinkler pops-up it doesn't stay in the proper position because it's stripped inside and then tends to travel by itself either too much to the left or right. I have seen it where I'm watering my neighbors lawn and Not mine. I have a better technique: 1) The base part that's in the ground, have slightly loose, meaning turned slightly left so it's not all the way tight. 2) Put the whole top part on: (plastic tube pop-up, spring, thread, head, everything), slightly to the left also. Turn right to tighten then when the thread gets tight, you keep turning so then the BASE bottom part (that's in the ground) is now turning - so now the whole thing is turning, and then just have the head go where you want it to go.

Do they require more adjustment than the old style head ? Do they fit the standard Rainbird pop up bodies Do they justify changing out all your heads at a cost of two to three times more than the old style heads. They may save water but that means you are not watering your lawn as much. Reviews state they do not shoot the water (radius) as far as old heads Your video should really cover these details

I have watched your Irrigation controller programming video. Have been working with a Rain Bird TRU61 controller and thought that if that controller was set to run Program A, it would ignore program B. It appears that if I want only Program A to run, I must set Program B to the Off position. Is this correct?

Rotors are usally as efficient as R vans but I'm sure you have your reasons but that is something I would rarely do. I do however change sparys to rotators quite often.

Great video on adjusting the head. Do you have a video or advice on adjusting the spray pattern / distance? I have a few heads that shoot way too far. I know that there is a second hole to adjust this but I don't want to mess with it until I speak to someone professional first.
@SmartIrrigation128 күн бұрын
You can break up the stream of water with the screw in the arrow by turning clockwise. This is only for minor distance changes like 10 or so percent in my opinion. Changing to a low angle nozzle or smaller nozzle might be a better choice but here is were you get into design considerations. Experienced trained Technicains may be better at deciding this.
@user-sh4pk5ej9t28 күн бұрын
I’ll give it a shot and see if it changes anything. I just know that some have a nice mist and others shoot halfway across the lawn. Maybe there is something else going on that is causing this?

I thought reducing the arc, means reducing the flow, not how far left it turns till it stops?
@SmartIrrigation1Ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! For the video we decided to use the actual terms used to describe the parts of a circle since these heads water in a circle (or part of a circle). So the radius of the circle is the length of the spray, and the arc of the circle is what portion of the circle is being watered (such as 90° arc, 180° arc, etc). This is typically the language used by manufactures as well. But I totally understand the confusion! I sometimes think of arc as distance as well (like the arc on an arrow, but then im not thinking in terms of a circle on a horizontal plane). Sorry for the confusion, we just though if there is going to be confusion one way or another, the technical language would be proper. But we'll try to make that more clear in future videos.

I have set up my watering days but I cannot figure out what "2 day cycle" means while I'm on "water days". I can make it go from flashing to still, but have no idea what it means. Thank you in advance!

If the spray has a stong flow coming out of it, It would not be a pressure or flow problem. In that case you probably have a head that is two low (deep) in the ground or it is a 2 inch popup or similar but in either case you would need the head, raised and replaced, or replaced if the head is just a short 2 inch.

Thank you for the useful instructions! I have a question for you. When I wanted to decrease the radius by using the orange tool (and tried the flat head screwdriver) it didn’t seem to reduce the radius. When it reaches the maximum of 25% reduction, does the screw stop turning when I turned it to clockwise?
