Know before you buy
Yes, the MP1000 is designed to screw onto most standard spray head bodies or shrub adapters. It is not compatible with rotor heads, so ensure your current system uses spray-style bodies before purchasing.
The nozzle uses a multi-trajectory rotating stream that applies water at a much slower rate than traditional spray nozzles. This allows the soil to absorb the water more effectively, significantly reducing runoff and evaporation.
Yes, you can adjust the radius between 8 and 15 feet to suit the specific dimensions of your landscape. This flexibility helps you fine-tune coverage to avoid overspraying onto sidewalks or driveways.
The MP1000 performs best at an operating pressure of 40 PSI. Maintaining this pressure ensures the rotating streams maintain their intended pattern and uniformity.
The MP1000 includes a removable filter screen that catches debris before it can enter the nozzle. It is good practice to periodically remove and clean this screen to maintain consistent water flow.
The double-pop feature allows the nozzle to rise out of the sprinkler body only after the head has fully extended. This prevents dirt and debris from being pulled into the nozzle during the initial activation.
