| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential factors to consider when evaluating the effectiveness of an irrigation system, including spray head nozzles, rotors, and pressure regulating features. Suggests that "spray head nozzles and rotors designed for efficiency can often compensate for poor system design or installation." Also discusses check valves, explaining that they "are in the base of a spray head or rotor and prevent water from draining out of the lowest rotor on the line." Concludes that "nothing is more discouraging than having to replace a system component due to a manufacturing malfunction or defect. Poorly performing products can damage or destroy plant life, wasting resources and costing money." |
