FAQ

What does head-to-head coverage mean?

It means each head’s spray reaches the next head, improving uniformity and reducing dry spots.

How many heads can I run on one zone?

It depends on available flow (GPM) and pressure (PSI) and the nozzle flow rate; sizing prevents weak coverage.

Can I add a new zone to an existing system?

Yes—if you have controller capacity, wiring access, and enough water supply to support the additional demand.
