What Are the Best Sprinkler Heads to Use?
Consider how the factors of topography and lawn size come into play in selecting a type of sprinkler head. Let's take a closer look at the two common types of lawn sprinkler heads:
Spray or "Fixed Spray" Heads
Spray sprinkler heads are sometimes designed to pop up out of the ground when the sprinkler system is activated, while others rest on pipes that remain above-ground at all times. Spray heads discharge a large volume of water in a relatively short amount of time, giving them a “high application rate.” For this reason, sprinkler systems with spray heads are most suitable for even surfaces, not slopes. If you do have to use a spray head on a slope, program your sprinkler system such that water is discharged over several shorter periods. This will help you avoid wasteful run-off.
