How to Adjust Pop-Up Rotating Sprinkler Heads

Blog Article

Adjusting pop-up rotating sprinkler heads (e.g., Hunter MP Rotator or Rain Bird Max-Flo) differs slightly from fixed nozzles. To set the arc, activate the head and press the top cap, then turn it to the desired angle (e.g., 90° for a quarter circle). Some models have detent positions for common arcs. For spray distance, twist the nozzle or use the distance adjustment screw—clockwise shortens, counterclockwise extends. Rotating heads use multiple streams, so ensure the rotation is smooth—clean any debris in the mechanism if it sticks. These heads are efficient for large areas, as they distribute water evenly with less overspray.
