sprays and rotors on same valve

The annuals look awesome, the setup is not ideal were money never an object but it is the best alternative to an additional zone.

Next.

IMHO, It is best to keep them separated. Do not mix types of delivery systems. I know I have considered it when trying to solve a problem. Main reason I consider this option in Retrofits again in Texas we have to upgrade the POC / Backflow when we open the pressurized main.....


It is not a good idea to mix by design.

In Denton county everything 10' and under surrounded by hardscape has to be on drip now.

Cool.
I have no problem with that for the most part.

I would be interested to see how well subsurface drip does in parkways for turf after a few years. I've not heard anything good.

Had it in miles of turf in CO in narrow and wide parkways; it was fantastic.

hmmm, some of the high rollers on here are going head to head with this thread, you guys are usually in agreement with each other and/or ganging up on someone else, ha, this is interesting, i will stay subscribed...

i've been following this thread because it's an interesting topic...i will say i'm with muddywater on this one, when it comes to putting ONE spray on a rotor zone..you always have to bid against your competition...adding a zone can be a deal breaker...always design a system correctly, yes, but when it comes to that odd nook that would be ridiculous to add a separate zone for, then just throw a spray on there...you can adjust the spray enough to make the PR close enough, at least for that one little spot...

i'm just trying to be realistic here...in a perfect world, it would be on a zone all by itself

I agree with muddywater also.... As a matter of fact, I'm probably going to do the same thing in my yard... Been trying to figure out a way to get more water on a spot that 1 rotor hits but the other rotor is blocked by a shrub now.
