Always learn something from the ride alongs! Thank you!

If I commingle MP2000 and MP3000 rotors on the same zone, will the lawn achieve matched precipitation? Thanks

How many mp heads is ok on one valve line at around 55 water pressure.

[@SprinklerPros]

Grant, you'd need to map and measure your area to water then decide which nozzles you need in each popup location. Secondly, do you have a 3/4" feed to your sprinkler valves? Are you using 3/4" sprinkler valves? If so, you only have a max of 8 GPM to work with. THEN divide up the heads into 8 GPM zones. You'll need to know how much each nozzle puts out per minute. The chart can be downloaded at the Hunter MP Rotator site. When I create a video showing how to do all this, I'll be including a worksheet that will do the calcs for you. Did that all make sense?

I get a security issue message when I attempt to link to your resources page. FYI.

[@SprinklerPros]

Thank you for that note. I will escalate this to my web tech. Thanks for being here.

After all that they don't wanna spend any money to correct things. They will be literally wasting more money/water leaving things as is.

[@SprinklerPros]

Yup. What's funny is folks will tell me that it's worked fine until now, but that is impossible given the logistics. It's just that the lawn got brown enough to bug them enough to call me.
