- Hunter MP Rotator Sprinkler Head Fix
I forgot to mention. This method should be used as a last resort. Make sure that your sprinkler head does not have any debris in it first. Also make sure that your water pressure is adequate and the filter screen for the sprinkler is clean.

I wonder if pool lube would work. I have a half dozen of these that don't seem to rotate properly. I tried this and it took less than 5 min from start to finish. It's didn't work at first, but I manually spun it and it started spinning. I'll have to try these on a few other heads. I used a tooth pick to distribute the grease. Thanks!!
This help me a lot and save my parents money to not have to hire company to come out and do it. They would’ve had to wait two months because it’s summer.
Un My case it's spinning too fast. Do You know what could be done un order to have a lower movement?
Pick up some Bel-Ray waterproof grease and add some to the head.
Just fixed two of my newly installed heads by doing this... he's not kidding when he says don't take too much grease out, I took enough to cover the blade of my screwdriver out and it made a big difference. Less is more, I would say.
Thanks for the video. There is way easier way to open it. No need to use screwdriver. Remove the filter then rest the bottom to some hard and stable surface and then push down only blue part with your fingers. The middle black part will come off.
Followed the instructions and it worked brilliantly! Thanks a lot!!
I wonder if that's damping grease they used. It's used in volume knobs and tripod heads to give a smooth and slow action.
I tried this and it worked. saved a few bucks
Finally, this method worked for me, thanks :) I fixed 3 heads today, and all of them looks good. I was tired that even new heads can stop rotating after a year.. (some is okay for years, not sure whats causing it)
Same in my experience. I got some that are 10years old others only last a year or two.
ty great help
Do you know roughly how long it should stay 'fixed' for before you have to redistribute the grease again?
They typically last the rest of the season for me.
Dude these heads are like $6. Just buy a replacement.
Where?
To each their own.
@betha3603 well I commented twice trying to tell you where to get them, but apparently SOMEONE must be reporting my reply for some reason cause it keeps getting deleted. Lamest thing I've ever seen as I was just trying to help someone out. Just go on line and search hunter mp rotator heads and there's multiple places that sell them.
$6 where?..😂
It's refreshing to know that someone in this we-need-more-plastic-trash society just does a simple 5 minute repair, rather than driving to the store or calling the great Amazon machine. But if it's all about the $, surely you're right.
I think it’s non hardening silicone, not grease.
@@MTbiggun I’m going to have to try that. I’ve got some super old ones that just won’t turn no matter what I try.
Somebody has to know what grease that is… Have you found out yet? Thanks for the video.
I’ve had some success with Bel-Ray water proof grease. I’m sure any waterproof grease will work.
Thanks
Glad I could help!
@@quickvid6735 actually they worked but after a few days they stuck again. i need to help them at first. maybe remove more grease?
do you have a recommended grease?
@@chen863 you can try removing more grease, but as stated in the video, if you remove too much they will spin very fast. I don’t have a recommended grease but I would look for something water proof and a NLGI 4 rating.
@@chen863I have had some luck with Bel-Ray water proof grease.
These things are 5-6 bucks. Not worth the trouble. IMO.
Not anymore, $11 is the best price I can find unless you buy them in bulk.
@@mrnetwurmthat’s right and not everyone lives close to a store that sells them.
I thought the sprinkler heads were $25 a piece???
@@mrnetwurmtell me where, please? And do they ship
Buy the pieces in bulk. Sprinkler store supply. Bigger problems to tackle guys.
