If it is made from plastic or rubber coated but a metal tool of any kind on a plastic head I would not recommend.

Sorry, there are many possible causes for this problem. Without being there in person it would be difficult to diagnose. Perhaps get a local Irrigation Service Tech or call Rain Bird Technical Assistance .

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you found it helpful!

Thanks for watching. Interesting. Most of the time if a system is running multiple times one after another it is because there are multiple program start times listed (even if they all say the same time, the system will run them consecutively), or a 2nd program (like program B or C) was set to run as well. Its hard to tell without looking at the controller, but if you are comfortable programming your controller from scratch according to this video, you can just do a factory reset and start from scratch and hopefully it should work properly after that.

Thanks for watching! I believe it is a cold-weather mix of Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue, likely cared for with a nitrogen rich fertilize.

Thanks!!

Thanks, glad it helped!

Glad they were helpful! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I don't believe any part of this spray setup is technically called a turret (which is the rotating part of a rotor sprinkler), but I could be wrong :)

You are very welcome, thanks!

Thanks for watching and I'm glad it was helpful! If a filter (looks like a plastic basket) wasn't installed under the nozzle when the nozzle was put on the riser/stem, the adjustment screw won't do anything, so that is worth checking!

You're very welcome! Thanks for the kind words!

Really glad this helped you! Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped!! You're welcome!

Thanks for watching! On the adjustable nozzles you can adjust them all the way closed and only a time stream will come out. But to further reduce the water, you can turn the distance adjustment screw clockwise until the stream basically stops (as long as a filter has been installed below the nozzle)

Thanks for watching! If you are putting the tool in the correct slot in the back of the head (where there is the +/- sign, not the hole in the middle or where the water shoots out), it could be that the adjustment screw in the back is broken (it is just plastic) and the rotor would need to be replaced. Those rotors can generally be found for about $20 so if you are comfortable replacing them you can save yourself some money. If you would like us to make a video on how to replace these rotors, let us know!

@ it was defected and I needed another one replaced. I did have to have them come down. Would you please do a video when you can (no hurry) on how to replace them? Would love that for next Spring. I feel that part of them gets damaged so easily. Thankyou

@@KaraStanziani-ym8pf I'm glad you get everything fixed! We'll definitely put more of the repair-style videos on our docket for next year! Thanks for watching and hopefully we'll have something for you next year!

I'm happy It was helpful. Comments like yours motivates us to do more.

Try Rainbird support or where you purchased the wife module.

Thanks for watching! Yes, your MP Rotator is defective. We have found that this seems to happen most often on systems with high water pressure (over 50 psi to the heads), so installing the rotators on pressuring regulating spray bodies (like the hunter PRS40) can help. But sometimes they just break as well. Simply replacing it should have you back to new!

That is correct the nozzel by themselves don't water evenly . They are designed to work in teams where one nozzle's spray gets to the other nozzle. This is called head to head coverage and you can lean more about it on our information website at smartirrigation.com. If installing another head or nozzel to reach back to the brown area is not practical for you, a Rain Bird HE-Van nozzel does water better closer to the head but less than the Hunter Nozzel in the farther distances. Each brand has it't strengths and weakneses.

Thanks for watching! The distance adjustment on these sprays doesn't have a well-defined impact on precipitation rate (how much water is put down per minute); ideally you only use the screw to make a small 1-foot adjustment and that would have a negligible impact on the amount of water given. What you want to do is look for different spray nozzles that have different precipitation rates. One example would be to put in rotary nozzles in areas that need less water and keep the spray nozzles in the area that needs more water. Let us know how this works out for you!

Thanks for watching. Sorry this was confusing for you, we needed to do this on 2 seperate controllers because most consumer-grade or light-commercial grade controllers, like the X2 that we used in this video, only offer 3 different programs (A, B, and C), and since the watering techniques we were showing needed more programs than this, the easiest way was the do this over 2 controllers. We will try to make this less confusing in the future.

Thanks for the kind words and you are very welcome!

Thanks!!

Thanks for watching, and yes, you can simply swap a spray-style nozzle with a MP Rotator nozzle!

Thanks for watching! With a proper filter installed below the nozzle, you can turn off the spray completely by turning the distance adjustment screw on top clockwise until the water stops flowwing

Thanks for watching. Sometimes when you set the left stop the body can unscrew below, so in this case you would want to adjust the left stop by turning it almost a full 360 degrees clockwise (clockwise will only tighten the body below, so you don't need to worry about anything loosening). This is done by turning the riser/stem/shaft itself (not the nozzle on top or the sprinkler body below).

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately you can't completely turn off individual MP rotators.

You are very welcome!

The seting you set 1st on this nozzle. Where the water sprays on the left.

Haha, well its takes a bit of practice, but I definitely was wet at the end of shooting this haha. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! On some older style heads (like the Hunter SRS) it used to be an issue of wearing out the ratcheting mechanism, but current rainbird 1800 heads are designed to be adjusted this way according to Rainbirds own literature (www.rainbird.com/sites/default/files/media/documents/2017-06/man_sprayheads.pdf). Turning the base in the ground can work well too though! Thanks for your input!

You are very welcome, thanks for watching and glad it helped!

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for watching!

Wow, thanks for the support!

Very glad this was helpful! Yes, the interval watering menu can sneak in there sometimes and mess things up. Glad this cleared it up!

Thanks for watching and the feedback! That is a great idea! We don't have the whole range of older controllers in the office with us, but take a few shots of them when we come across them in the field is a good idea!

Thanks for watching! This video wasn't really a review or comparison to old heads, but just an instruction video on how to set them. But if you're interested in a comparison or review video let us know and we can make one of those as well!

Thanks!!

I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks for watching! And you are correct, ALL programs that are programmed with a start time, run time, and watering day will all run together. This is done on purpose so that you can create complex watering schedules that overlap. We talk about this in our recent video on advanced irrigation programming (check it out if you are interested!)

Thanks for watching! And yes, you can use the same distance adjustment shown in this video (we used an MP1000 90-210) on the strip-type MP rotators and you will get roughly the same 25% distance reduction

Rotors are usally as efficient as R vans but I'm sure you have your reasons but that is something I would rarely do. I do however change sparys to rotators quite often.

@@SmartIrrigation1 haven’t made the change yet but was doing some research. This is good to know. May just keep the rotors
