CMG Sprinklers and Drains: Rotor Sprinkler Heads and Pop-Up Sprinkler Heads in the same Sprinkler Zone?

A little background informantion.

My name is Blane Callen. I have owned and operated CMG Sprinklers and Drains since 1993.

CMG Is the first letter of my 3 kids first names. (Chance / Melissa / Garrett)

We install French Drains and Surface Drains when it is wet, and Sprinkler Systems and Sprinkler Repair when it is Dry

I rarely accept money up front for any job. I get paid when my customer is happy. The exception occurs on very large jobs. In this case I charge for parts up front. The parts are delivered directly to the customer's home by my parts supplier. The customer gets a copy of the parts invoice and all parts stay at the customer's home till the completion of the job.

Rotor Sprinkler Heads and Pop-Up Sprinkler Heads in the same Sprinkler Zone?

Sprinkler Installation -- Typically Sprinkler Systems have two types of Sprinkler Heads. You have Rotor Sprinkler Heads and Pop - Up Sprinkler Heads.

: Rotor Sprinkler Head

: Pop - Up Sprinkler Head

These two types of Sprinkler Heads should not be in the same Sprinkler Zone Together. The reason is that they water at different rates. The Pop-Up Sprinkler Head is a Continuous Spray Head. It does not move or rotate. It covers a small area and puts a lot of water down fast. The Rotor Sprinkler Heads cover a much larger area and spray back and forth from left to right. They take a greater amount of time to completely water their designed area. If Pop-Ups and Rotor Sprinkler Heads are put in the same zone together and run at the same time, by the time the Rotor Sprinkler Heads are finished, the area covered by the Pop-Up Sprinkler Heads will be Flooded. This can kill whatever the Pop-Up Sprinkler Head is intended to water.

Many times " Fly - By - Night Sprinkler Companies" or, " DIY Home owners who don't know any better," Put Rotor Sprinkler Heads and Pop-Up Sprinkler Heads in the same zone.

IT IS A BIG MISTAKE!
