Just Screw 'Em In: Instant Water Savings with Toro Precision Nozzles
Experience the benefits of this award winning product

Now you can help your customers achieve instant water savings just by changing their spray nozzles.    With Toro's new Precision Series Spray Nozzles you'll get increased efficiency over standard spray heads.   They lower precipitation rates, which conserves water and reduces irrigation costs.

The patented Toro H2O Chip Technology - Hyper-streams of oscillating water, moving at Hyper-frequencies (200 cycles per second) deliver a low, but effective precipitation rate of one inch per hour.   The oscillating pattern, invisible to the naked eye and only seen by strobe light illumination, delivers lower flow rates than competitive spray nozzles with better overall irrigation efficiency, reduced misting, and superior edge definition. They can apply water precisely to irrigation zones with reduced risk of saturation or run-off.

With 54 different radius and arc options, they provide the most complete line of spray nozzles.  It's no wonder they were named "New Product of the Year for Landscape" at the Irrigation Association's Show in Anaheim, CA. 

Pick up a few at your nearest Urban Farmer Store location and start marketing them as a valuable upgrade for your existing accounts.  It's the fastest way to help your customers lower water use.
