Why should types of sprinklers matter in lawn irrigation?
Whether you use spray head sprinklers or rotor head sprinklers for a particular area in your lawn irrigation does matter, because of the difference in application rates. Above all, be consistent in the types of sprinklers you use (i.e., spray head or rotor head) within specific areas. Mixing head-types within the same area leads to over-irrigation of some parts of your lawn just to get adequate amounts of irrigation to other parts. The goal of lawn irrigation is to target water distribution as precisely as the system allows.
