Smart Irrigation Sales Opportunity: Convert Sprays to Water-Saving Rotary Nozzles
 Retrofitting your customers existing spray heads with rotary nozzles can save up to 6,600 gallons per nozzle over a five-year period.
Rotary nozzles are an ideal solution for sites where uniform coverage and healthy turf are desired.
Their multi-trajectory, rotating streams apply water more slowly and uniformly than conventional sprays. Independent water audits now document water savings of 20% or more when conventional spray nozzles are replaced with rotary nozzles. Additional water-saving advantages include better wind resistance and less misting. Because water is applied more slowly, there is less chance for run-off in tight soils.
To achieve efficient watering with rotary nozzles, you must:
- Convert all spray nozzles on the zone
- Not mix rotary nozzles with other application types
- Adjust watering run times and cycles at the controller
Offer your customers the option of rotary nozzle conversions. They'll appreciate a greener, healthier lawn with water savings. You'll appreciate the added easy boost to your bottom line.
Customers will buy when the benefits of water-saving upgrades are clearly explained to them. You must invest in promotion and education to create awareness.

Why Choose Pressure Regulated Rotors?
 When the pressure's on, save water and money with Rain Bird 5000 PRS Rotors.
By regulating high or fluctuating pressure at the head, Pressure Regulating Stems (PRS) with Flow Optimizer™ technology can help save approximately one gallon per minute per rotor or spray. Given the high price of water in many areas, customers can also enjoy considerable cost savings-over the life of the system.
And because the flow is controlled, you can precisely know and calculate the exact GPM of each zone.
 A typical residential site using Rain Bird® PRS 5000 Rotors and 1800® Series Sprays can save 106,000 gallons per year.* That's enough to fill an average swimming pool five times over. Check out the 5000 PRS Savings Calculator to estimate how much water and money you'll save.
