There are so many different sprinkler heads. What is the difference between a Rotor, a Riser or a Pop-up Head?
Rotor-Head – This is a gear-driven rotor which rotates from a 40 to 360 adjustable arc and spray anywhere from 15 to 30 feet. Pop-Up Head – These heads are inserted flush with the ground. The water pressure raises them anywhere from 4 to 12 inches out of the ground to avoid surrounding obstacles. After the cycle has finished, the head falls back into place. Pop-Ups spray from 2 to 15 feet. Risers – If the water spray has obstacles (landscaping, air conditioner, etc) over 12 inches in height, we will install a riser. They do not retract.
