Pack of 3 - HydroSure Pre-Assembled Rotor Sprinklers, Swing Pipes and Fittings

An area that is boggy or waterlogged indicates a leaking connection or a pipe that may have split. Most connection points can be tightened by hand or by adding two wraps of PTFE Tape around male threads or replacing connectors that over time, have snapped.

When fixing your pipe network, depending on the pipe you are using to supply your system will indicate the type of connector you need to repair the damage.

A variation in flow rate or pressure drop from the water source will also reduce the performance of sprinklers – Check the flow rate from your tap remains high enough during the time of day your system is set to run using our Calculating Flow Rate from the Water Source Guide.

• On windy days, the spray pattern from your sprinklers may alter even when using nozzles with built-in wind resistance. Alternatively, running a system at a bar pressure that is too high, will create misting – Consider installing a Pressure Reducer regulated as specified in the sprinkler specifications to minimise spray pattern wind drift.

To lift the riser of a rotor sprinkler, most require a Key  inserted into the turret top of the sprinkler to lock into the mechanism and allow easy uprooting of the riser by hand. Any maintenance or switching of nozzles is often carried out in this way. Alternatively, ask a friend to switch the system on manually and catch the riser as it lifts during system operation.
