“First off, consider if the nozzle is going on a pop-up spray head or a rotor, as that might change what you’re looking for. In the case of a pop-up spray head, a good nozzle should have the ability to be adjusted when you need to change the pattern. It should have a clean pattern that makes your irrigation operation more efficient. What you don’t want to have is something that can get easily clogged. (A good nozzle) should be easy for a technician to adjust. At the end of the day, what you want to have is even coverage, that’s what the nozzle is there for.”

“I am a big believer that simplicity is key when it comes to nozzles. There are a lot of nozzles out there and that offers a lot of questions about ‘When am I supposed to use this one over that one?’ It’s important to keep it simple. For us, keeping it simple starts with adjustable nozzles so technicians don’t have to carry around a bunch of different nozzles. They have one 12-foot nozzle and that can be a 360 or a tiny little stream for one little corner. So for us, what makes a nozzle great is the simplicity and not having to carry so many nozzles with you.”
