completed a large irrigation job in 2011...forced to use rainbird's version.....a good part of the project was rotators...what a night-mare...550 heads...cleaning them out, replacing nozzles...just completed a large house install today...used hunter's version....toally impressed...25yrs in the business....sold me....BTW...they are being used with rainbird's 1800 series heads...IMHO...still the best...but hunter is a damn close second.
am in Cape Town and have installed a wellpoint and am watering my entire property with ten of these beauties All At Once which everyone told me was impossible. I tried multiple different heads which took too much water so my system could nit build up sufficient back pressure. With the Hunters installed they all run at once. Thank You Hunter !
I replaced 60 spray heads with these and my customers water bill went from $488.00 Sept 2010 to $127 this last Sept. Installed correctly they do save water.
MP Rotators are a great water conservation device and take proper irrigation knowledge to set-up. You should have pressure regulation at 40psi and you should lengthen your run time which still saves water as the video states. The MP put down water slower and you need to adjust your Timer (controller) and ensure proper pressure regulation. Water Conservation is everyone's job and take proper knowledge, not just replace head and guess work.
Hunter documents say the MP Rotator filter can be removed for cleaning. Can you point to instructions and/or video on how to remove and reinstall the filter on an MP Rotator?
Can someone tell me the name of the song please? My son loves these sprinkler videos and he dances to this like crazy with a big smile on his face🤗 shazam didn't work...
Should I use 12" heads or 4"; I have a slope on 2 adjacent sides: 1 side by driveway rises about 12" over about 3-4feet (26' long), the adjacent side by sidewalk rises about 20" over about 5-6feet (18' long). Thx!
I like the look of these, nice design. I'm chasing a 'rotating finger' long stroke adjustable pop-up, for a coastal residential property with calcium and sand issues. Many of my contaminants pass the usual filter, and clog traditional nozzles. I'm a little concerned my 'corridor/strip' sprays only need around 2m throw, but the smaller throw might get blocked more than the long throw ones. Do you have an email address I can send my plans to for recommendations? I'm in Western Australia.
@Bazzaland Yes they are better than concrete doughnuts. They do withstand the string trimmers and they won't sink and disappear like the doughnuts. Sprinkler Buddy keeps your sprinkler heads visible with a lot less maintenance long term by preventing grass from growing between the indicator and sprinkler head shaft via the custom fit design.
Just installed them in my rain bird 30 year old system. All work perfect except last head in zone ( can’t turn down enough) is that because pressure is to high and if so can that be resolved by installing a pressure reg body in that spot or will my problem just move to a different head
I am missing something. I like the looks of the spray pattern. I went to a county irrigation class and they recommend these. However, if my lawn requires an inch of water every week, the MP's deliver .04 GPM so I must run my system on this zone for 2.5 hours instead of an hour. What am I missing?
Because you said "still brown" I assume it was brown running 5 minutes on the old nozzles. 5 minutes was giving you brown grass then 20 minutes on the MPR rotator is no different. .40 vs 1.60 precipitation rate. All you did was slow down the application rate still need to increase your run time no matter which nozzle you use. Shoot for a half inch of water in one or two applications a week.
When I went to the store, I saw this nozzle that looked EXACTLY like a MP Rotator. But upon further inspection, I saw that it said Orbit Eco-Stream? Did Orbit steal your nozzle or Hunter and Orbit are partners. I also noticed that Orbits VAN nozzle looks like Hunters PRO Nozzle. Please reply.
Thank you for contacting Hunter Technical Support. The distance of coverage for the MP Rotator nozzle is dependent upon the incoming pressure. If you are not able to adjust the radius down to the low end of the range, then the incoming pressure may be too high for the minimum desired radius. Use the Pro-Spray PRS30 (PROS-PRS30) to maintain 30 psi at the MP Rotator nozzle for minimal radius options. If you have a MP rotator rated for 8 to 15 feet you will not be able to adjust the radius to be less than 8 feet. If you would like to adjust below 8 feet you will need the MP800SR. These MP Rotators have a radius of 6 to 12 feet.
??? Don't understand your answer. I was just wondering can I buy the sprinkler and then screw it into the ground. The pipe in the ground that a 3/4 thread. Would need a female thread that can screw into it. Do you have it like that?
@@MC-cp1hg The mprotator is just a sprinkler nozzle. You would buy the 4 inch pro spray spray body that is 1/2 then use an adapter from 1/2 to 3/4. Then screw on the map rotator. All the np rotators and pro sprays can be found at Home Depot or lowes.
Hunter Irrigation You are advertising the range can be changed by 25% just by changing the skrew. Changing the range by replacing the PRS is not a feature. You don't get below 7.5 meters with a MP3000-90 and PRS-40. Range of the MP2000 on the other side is to low for my needs. I need 6.9 meters.
lot of mine wont turn or don't get to full radius until sometime into the arc therefor i have to over spray the sidewalk. The 3000 are the only ones to actually throw somewhat like they are suppose to. The 1000 are just junk
I had two estimates for an irrigation system. One told me I would need 9 zones. The other one told me that he used these nozzles and I would only need 5 because of their efficiency, etc. He was half the cost of the price from the first contractor. Does this sound right?
@sprinklerbuddy Are these better than concrete doughnuts? Can they withstand string trimmers applications which are needed to trim creeping turf varieties?
Thank you for contacting Hunter Technical Support. The distance of coverage for the MP Rotator nozzle is dependent upon the incoming pressure. If you are not getting the distance you require, your incoming pressure may be too low to achieve the desired distance of coverage. Check if your valve has a flow control handle. If so, you may be able to increase the flow from the valve. Open the irrigation valve flow control handle by turning the handle in the counterclockwise position. If the valve flow control is fully open and you still are not getting the distance you require, the flow for that zone is too high (too many heads) or a possible break in the piping causing a reduction in pressure. If you are not able to adjust the radius down to the low end of the range, then the incoming pressure may be too high for the minimum desired radius. Use the Pro-Spray PRS30 (PROS-PRS30) to maintain 30 psi at the MP Rotator nozzle for minimal radius options.
@@Hunter_Landscape_Irrigation I asked my sprinkler guy to shut of one of these heads and I'm trying to turn it back on. Can you let me know what to do? I would appreciate it.
I'm an irrigation designer as I use about 90% drip on all of my irrigation plans. Sometimes even turf areas where it makes sense. Of course, if I have a larger field where I can use rotors or something similar, I would use that but that doesn't mean you can't install drip in those open fields.

Im a licensed irrigator here in texas, we used MP Rotators 80% of the time, very versatile.
I replaced 60 spray heads with these and my customers water bill went from $488.00 Sept 2010 to $127 this last Sept. Installed correctly they do save water.
Have they had to replace the lawn?
Well I’m sold. Glad I put the rain birds back on the shelf today!

They are a great product. I have installed them exclusively for areas up to 30 feet.
Awesome! thanks for watching!

Where can see these rotary sprinkler systems. I am interested in possibly changing my sprinklers.

Thanks Hunter team, I'm sketching up my yard, bore and stuff now, will drop the tech team a note soon, much appreciated.
Тенденция использовать вращающиеся форсунки растет. Во многих случаях в проектах со сложной структурой предпочтение отдают именно этим форсункам.
hunter is the best!!!
Thanks for choosing Hunter!

You would use a pressure regulated head

14-15 min.
Run each zone with MP's 90 min average
Slower watering is more effective
A couple of my spray heads are not rotating fast enough or not moving at all. How can I fix please
My lawn turns brown after switching to these. I went from 5 minutes run time on the old nozzle to 20 mins on the MP-1000. Still brown!
I think the water droplets needs to be larger.

the best nozzle in the market !
i know right
@TheKellybella Yes they will - or you can use a Hunter brand spray body.
Hello, can the MP800SR (90° to 210°) and MP1000 (90° to 210°) watering nozzles be adjust to a minimum working angle of 70 degrees?
Thank you!
@@Hunter_Landscape_Irrigation how is that a good question when he states the minimum and maximum arc IN HIS QUESTION 🤣
When I went to the store, I saw this nozzle that looked EXACTLY like a MP Rotator. But upon further inspection, I saw that it said Orbit Eco-Stream? Did Orbit steal your nozzle or Hunter and Orbit are partners. I also noticed that Orbits VAN nozzle looks like Hunters PRO Nozzle.
Please reply.
I would like to know about the range numbers: If one is rated at "8 to 15", does that mean I cannot adjust the radius to be less than 8 feet?
Yea from what I gather. You don’t want to go lower then the minimum radius listed

Is there a supply here in the Philippines
Do they come in the 3/4 end to screw onto my existing pipes? If so can you send me a link where I can order.

Protect your Hunter rotors and spray heads with the "Sprinkler Buddy"
okay just need that key
yea, why wouldn't the head come with the key!?
I have MP 3000 and I have dry spots close to the head about 4 feet out should I downsize to MP2000?

Yes they sell MP Corner that adjust from 105 to 45 degrees.

all fun and games until you get water restrictions and have to only water on certain times and days
will these nozzles fit a rainbird 1800 sprikler?
Yes
Well drip line watering is only for container plants or vegetable gardens... Drip line watering is not for big fields... Duh...
Not true you can use it under a big lawn and it is often done.

Not that impressed with the music.
Who really cares about the music.
