Understanding Sprinkler Head Types

Posted by Writer - June 21, 2018 - Sprinkler Contractor, Sprinkler System Company

There are a variety of sprinkler head types out there to suit all kinds of irrigation needs. When the water going through a sprinkler passes through the main line to the valve, it then moves into what’s referred to as a zone line and into the sprinkler head. This extends upward and spreads water around, although how each sprinkler head accomplishes this is a bit different. You’ll want to carefully weigh your options before picking the system.

If you’re looking for sprinkler system companies in Burlington County, NJ, you’re probably wondering which is the best choice for you. Because these systems are complex, you want to go with a company that has a long track record and deep knowledge of sprinklers. Star Sprinkler Systems Inc. has a proven reputation forged over more than three decades. We can tell you everything you need to know about sprinkler head types and address any other irrigation system questions you may have:

  • Rotor sprinkler heads: If you want to cover a large area, these may be the best choice. Rotor sprinkler heads rotate to cover a wide range, and are often used with flowerbeds. These can be set from micro-sprayer to bubble-size, depending on your needs.
  • Pop-up sprinkler heads: These have a low and wide part that fits in the ground. The sprinkler head pops up when activated and sprays water. A six-inch pop-up will spread water about 30 to 35 feet. These can be used on open lawns or along sidewalks and curbs.
  • Impact sprinkler heads: These sprinkler heads use a mechanical motion to “impact” the water and send it in a specific direction. These heads spread water about 45 feet and are often used on wide open lawns and on golf courses. However, the design of the impact sprinkler head doesn’t work on all kinds of lawns, as some specific types of grass are liable to get caught in its parts.
  • Variable arc nozzles: This kind of sprinkler has an adjustable head. That means you can turn it to whatever angle you need. Variable arc nozzles also have a constant spray, resulting in a higher precipitation rate than rotor sprinkler heads. These are often used in areas that need more water than usual and typically distribute the water over a 15-foot radius.
