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.
