Rain Bird and Hunter pop-up spray heads
With pop-up spray heads from Rain Bird and Hunter, you can easily build your own lawn irrigation system and adapt it precisely to your garden. The sprinkler bodies are permanently installed in the ground and rise through water pressure only while the irrigation system is running. Afterwards, they retract almost completely into the lawn. This creates a neat appearance while also making lawn mowing easier.
Rain Bird pop-up spray heads and Hunter pop-up spray heads are available in different versions and pop-up heights. The right model for your garden depends on factors such as installation depth, surrounding plants and the type of nozzle you want to use. With irrigation pipes, sprinkler connections and suitable fittings, you can install the pop-up spray heads yourself and easily expand your irrigation system later.
Pop-up spray heads with check valve
A pop-up spray head with check valve is particularly useful if your garden has differences in elevation. After irrigation is switched off, the valve keeps water in the pipe system and reduces drainage through sprinklers installed at lower points. This helps prevent unnecessary water loss and wet areas around lower-lying pop-up spray heads.
On a level lawn, you may not necessarily need this feature. On sloping ground, however, a check valve can significantly improve your lawn irrigation system. You can easily integrate these pop-up spray heads into your system and combine them with solenoid valves, valve boxes and an irrigation controller to create an automatic garden irrigation system.
Pressure-regulated pop-up spray heads
Pressure-regulated pop-up spray heads maintain the water pressure at the sprinkler at a specified level. This is particularly important for nozzles that require a certain operating pressure to distribute water evenly. Excessive pressure can produce very fine water droplets and unnecessary misting. Integrated pressure regulation therefore helps provide a consistent spray pattern and reliable irrigation.
When planning your system, you still need to consider the available water pressure and flow rate. If necessary, divide larger gardens into several irrigation zones. With solenoid valves and an irrigation controller, you can operate these zones one after another. This makes it possible to install even a larger automatic lawn irrigation system yourself, step by step.
Suitable nozzles for pop-up spray heads
The nozzle determines how your pop-up spray head distributes the water. Spray nozzles allow you to cover different spray distances and irrigation angles. Rotary nozzles, on the other hand, distribute water through multiple rotating streams and are suitable for different area sizes depending on the model. This allows you to equip each pop-up spray head according to its position in your garden.
First plan the area you want to irrigate and then select the appropriate pop-up spray heads and nozzles. Pay attention to spray distance, irrigation angle, operating pressure and sufficient overlap between the watering areas. With suitable spray nozzles, rotary nozzles, sprinkler connections and irrigation pipes, you can build your own lawn irrigation system and adapt or expand it whenever your garden changes.
