Pop-up Sprinkler's

[regedit]

Need to fit some pop-up sprinkers to irrigate a lawn. I've seen some in HomePro which look abit basic, as well as the more 'heavy-duty' looking Naan 805's. Does anyone have any experience of the various brands available here - any to avoid/recommend ? Thanks.

My only input is to buy those of a material that are dog proof. If dogs have access to the area they seem to use the plastic one as a chewing bone, thus replacement becomes regular. I have watched the dogs wait for sprinkler to kick on and run to the heads to have a drink/chew. Of course you could refer to the chicken killing topic to get ideas on training.

I have installed Rain bird about 3 or 4 years ago and have had no problems at all . They seem to be just about " bulletproof" I use 1- 4 station controler and a 6 station controler I have 3 sprinklers conected to each station. I also had to install a 800 liter water tank as my village water system cannot provide the needed volume quickly enough.

Super products are less expensive & easier to get online manuals than Rainbird. I like their selection better also. Global home carries & offers great prices as well. 30% of home pros or home works bird line.
