Hunter Irrigation

Posted by rwsky KY (My Page) on

We recently had an irrigation system put in at our home. The sysem does a great job except for one flower bed. The other flower beds have a blut topped shaft that comes up about 12" when in use. The problem bed is a brown topped unit that only rises about 6" and that's not enough. I have called the installer and he seems to ignore phone calls. Are these things easy to change out? What information do I need in order to procure the right sprinkler? Any help appreciated. It is a Hunter system.
Thks,
Russ

RE: Hunter Irrigation

rw,

Hunter is a very good brand and should help you with the selection of the sprinkler. Also a local irrigation supply store would do as well and should be knowledgeable about Hunter products. Most likely you would have to dig up the head to the threaded lateral waterline pipe tee-fitting. Unscrew the old irrigation head and screw in the new into the threaded tee. Match heights of the heads and use teflon tape on the threads on the new head before screwing it in. Take the nozzle off the irrigation head and flush the sprinkler for a few seconds and then replace the nozzle then adjust the spray reach and direction of the nozzle and your good to go. Aloha
