I have been using these Hunter MP Rotator sprinkler heads for years now. They work great, and they are very reliable and easy to adjust. Not to mention the water they save by not allowing it to blow/evaporate in the wind or run down the sidewalk. I have tried the MP Rotators with pressure regulated sprinkler bodies, and with pressure regulators at the valves, in the past, and they work fine. However, I have found that the MP Rotators work just as well, or better, at full line water pressure (80 psi), and just control the actual water flow/pressure at the sprinkler valve with the adjustment screw. All of the sprinklers get equal pressure and I have had no issues running this way, with many of the MP Rotators running for many years now like this. Just my two cents on the subject.

Awesome! Thank you for choosing Hunter!

I like the MP rotator, especially the 1000 90-210 and 2000 90-2120. They are wonderful for mid range applications. I use them all the time.

Great video and awesome product! The M Rotator is the best multi-stream nozzle I have ever seen.

Cool video. Nice product!

They are taking about changing from spray nozzles to something like these nozzles at my job. Over 35 acres of turf , & 1 irrigation tech to maintain it all 💦 19 controllers (3 are E.T.) ... I love my job 🤘🏼

Great video. Thanks!!!

Does anyone sell adapters to allow the MP rotator to be installed on orbit risers?

I am currently in the process of replacing my spray nozzles because we live in an area that gets windy. I was considering multi-stream rotator type nozzles but the problem is they put down water way too slow. We have a pretty large lot with 11 grass zones and 4 drip zones. It would take half a day to get all this watered. It would be really nice if someone made a high output multi-stream that I could just screw onto each nozzle.

That's the point of the MP800 which puts out .8 in./hr as opposed to the standard MP's which put out .4 in./hr . However, standard spray nozzles usually put out 1.6 in./hr so the MP800 will still require twice as much time as spray heads. If you have too much pressure on some/all of your current sprays, that will cause them to mist excessively which makes the wind problem worse. If so, you should try installing pressure regulating bodies for your sprinkler heads or getting a pressure regulator for the valve as shown in the video. This will improve your wind issue even if you keep your spray nozzles.

where do you get the t fitting?

Two zones on my system are Toro spray nozzles. They are VERY CHEAP. I'm thinking of changing to MP Rotators!

I’m not totally convinced on these nozzles yet. Seems if I have heads that are misting I can just drop the pressure and if I’m at too high of a precipitation rate for soil conditions I can just do multiple soaking cycles.

@Hunter_Industries

Yes, if spray nozzles are misting, you can reduce pressure, and if runoff is an issue, cycle and soak from the controller is a great solution. MP Rotator Nozzles are also an easy solution to misting and runoff, and they provide other benefits as well. With the low precipitation rate, more MPs can go on one zone than sprays, and they make for a good retrofit solution if available pressure has dropped too low with sprays. MPs also have higher uniformity with matched precipitation from 5 ft wide side strips up to a 35 ft radius which makes for simple system designs. MP Rotator Nozzles are an all-around solution to many irrigation system concerns.

Can this be used in an orchard setting? Tree setting is 10 feet apart, 45 trees per row and rows spaced 14 feet apart.

I would think you would be better with drip irrigation.

Why would my MP’s not rotate that fast? I have some that barley move while others that move at a nice pace, and only 3 per line. Is there a way to adjust the rotation?

@thatguythatdoesstuff7448

Faster rotation indicates high pressure at the beginning of the circuit and diminished pressure toward the end. I had the same problem when I had my first system installed. I went back and replaced all of the sprayer bodies with regulated bodies (40 psi) and then they all would spin at the same steady rate. Your other problem may be dirt and debris in the line. Pull the nozzle off and check/clean the filters on the ones that are spinning slowly.

How do these jets get full coverage? For example if you set to spray out 10 feet distance... then how does it cover all of the area of the grass from zero to ten feet? Does each individual stream throw a difference distance to cover all of the area as it rotates? Thanks for the help.

Head-to-head coverage is necessary regardless of the sprinkler type that you are using but is especially true for the MP Rotators. MP Rotators have a lower application rate and a well-designed system is critical to eliminate dry spots near the heads. This spacing will allow sprinklers to overlap their throw to assure even water distribution.

I've been misled. I was told the MP800SR would work with the MP1000....... Now I have to buy a bunch of MP800SR and have a ton of Mp1000 leftover.

Hi I have both the MP rotator 3000 and MP 2000, but I notice that the radius of the MP 2000 is not up to spec. I use them at 3 Bar and they should do 6.1 meters but they don't even reach 5 meters I don't have this problem with the 3000 series. I don't understand what it could be?

Verify the outlet pressure using a T and a pressure guage and verify that the radius is on reduced. If that fails, contact our customer support department here: www.hunterindustries.com/hunter-technical-support-email-request

Hunter Irrigation can I use 40 psi and 30 psi sprayers on the same zone?

@itech301

Alejandro Jimenez possibly, the precipitation rates would be different, how ever they are very close. Review this table for the specifics: sprinklertalk.com/swdirect/images/Hunter/MP1000Chart.JPG

With the Hunter MP gauge I tested it with a rotator nozzle at the top and got 30 PSI. Then I put a Hunter nozzle cap on the top of the Tee instead and got 40PSI. So 40PSI is if the gauge gets all the water flow pressure and 30PSI is if the gauge shares the water flow pressure with the rotator nozzle. Which is what my nozzle would get if the gauge wasn’t there, 30Psi or 40psi?

What is the best way to permanently cap sprinkler heads I don't need so they don't leak?. it looks like my sprinkler system has way too many sprinkler heads. Now if I convert them to mp rotators I will need even less..

@Hunter_Industries

23 күн бұрын

There are several ways to stop the flow to a spray head. The Pro-Spray Shutoff Cap 213600SP caps off the head by replacing the cap, while the Shutoff Nozzle 916400SP doesn't allow flow through the nozzle. Another option is to dig up the head and plug the outlet below grade.

Do these fit in any standard spray head or do you have to install hunter spray bodies? I have fairly generic rain bird from Lowe’s and I’m sick of their inconsistency and breaking all the time.

Thank you for contacting Hunter Technical Support. The MP Rotators will fit on most spray bodies as the male threading is an industry standard. To maintain the longevity of the nozzle we will always recommend using the PRS40 bodies. www.hunterindustries.com/irrigation-product/spray-bodies/pro-spray-prs40 Thank you again for contacting Hunter Technical Support.

@@Hunter_Industries I ended up buying Hunter heads and just replacing them. Happy so far - just need to replace all the rest. I did only a few as a test.

I sub...

I recently moved to a home that has Hunter, 10 zones. Each zone has 3-4 older heads, which I'm replacing. Do these zones, now after these low flow rotators, have to spray zone-by-zone or can they all be used at once, or maybe grouped together on the timer to make 2 or 4 spray zones? I also bought various colored lawn flags from Amazon and at first, I'll color code each zone and note the zone # by writing on the flag and making a map. I'll also measure between heads to choose the best rotator. I had read somewhere that each head spray should reach the nearest heads, so I'll adjust each one until it hits the nearest flags. Funny part is one sprinkler currently between homes and wooden fences sprays 360 degrees, but there's not much space between the fences. Maybe 8 feet. So that one sprays my lawn, up my fence, to the other part of lawn and theirs, and then up their fence into thei back yard lol. I laughed hard the first time I saw that.

Hi Robert, In a residential irrigation system, the amount of water available in GPM (gallons per minute) determines how many heads can be watered in a single zone. For that reason, the residential controller is designed so that it can only water 1 zone at a time. It won't be possible to group the zones together from the controller to bypass that condition.

2:55 My mp rotators is 4,1 Bar It’s wrong?

With my experience of both systems, MP rotator are much more expensive to maintain in the short and long run. their gear mechanism break down in a year or so and less reliable compare to pop up sprayer

I had MP1000's installed at a house in Arizona that I no longer own. Year round watering for summer and winter grass. And Arizona has notoriously hard water that destroys water heaters, dishwashers, shut off valves, etc. I had the local landscaping guy constantly stopping in his truck when I was working in my front yard. He said over and over that I needed to replace the nozzles with brass sprayers for reliability. Not one nozzle failed in over two years. I had to replace two assemblies (riser and body) when the city ripped out part of my irrigation system with a backhoe while fixing a water main break. I was able to reuse the nozzles. Very easy to do, very easy to get the system back up and running. 3 zones running on Hunter Node controllers. Very reliable on just one 9v battery each year, but GAAAAWWWD are those things a headache to program. Not intuitive at all. And pretty expensive. Now that I live in Colorado, my house here has Rain Bird impact sprinklers. In one summer, 4 of the 14 have failed in one manner or another. Just ordered 14 PRS40 MP2000 bundles. Can't wait to get rid of these awful impact sprinklers.

Were these MP rotators running at the optimal pressures? (40 PSI) If the pressures were too high, it might have caused excessive wear.

Not bad info, but essentially a sales pitch. Nothing in here about how to actually install the rotators. Emphasis on care that should be taken when selecting a product is good though.

so bad

So basically for the last 5 decades you guys been telling us how great old sprinklers are and been selling us those. and now you have new technology and tell us the old sprinklers are crap and wants us to buy these rotators. Ha Aha
