Has anyone successfully been able to get the MP3000 series to throw 30ft? If so at what head pressure?
On two different properties I've used the BLUE MP3000 series heads at 50+ psi and neither one throw near 30ft (more like 20-23 ft). I fully opened the nozzles (counterclockwise screw).
We have one large property that I would like to try and replace PGP rotators that are spaced 26 ft apart and as a test on Friday I replaced 4 PGPs in a row with 4xMP3000 heads (Blue, Mp3000 180 degree). I measured the head pressure from the head and it was 60psi.
At 60 PSI the MP3000s I installed barely threw 20-23ft on the side. I was using 4" Hunter Pro Spray Heads.
I had the same problem on another recent intall where I installed a temp system and decided to use MP rotators on it. The pressure was closer to 70psi and I still don't believe they got anywhere near 30ft. I'll go back on Friday and measure this for sure, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had mix results with these.
I know they are rated at 25-55psi and I wasn't seeing much misting at 60psi.
Maybe I'll try it with a pressure regulated head and see what happens.
