Irrigation nozzles are crucial components of various watering systems, serving residential lawns as well as large-scale agricultural fields, and ensuring the controlled and efficient delivery of water to plants.
Spray Nozzles:
- Fixed Arc: These nozzles deliver water in a specific, predetermined arc, making them ideal for watering rectangular or irregular areas.
- Adjustable Arc: These nozzles allow for customisation of the spray pattern, making them versatile for different watering needs.
- Rotary Nozzles: These rotate as they spray, providing a more uniform water distribution over a larger area.
Drip Nozzles:
- Emitters: These small devices deliver water slowly and directly to plants' root zones, minimising water waste due to evaporation.
- Drippers: Similar to emitters, drippers are designed to deliver a precise amount of water at a specific rate.
Micro-Sprinklers:
- Impact Sprinklers: These nozzles create a gentle rain-like spray, making them suitable for delicate plants and seedlings.
- Mini-Sprinklers: Smaller than impact sprinklers, these nozzles provide a more localised water delivery.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Nozzles:
- Water Pressure: The nozzle's performance is influenced by the water pressure in the system.
- Flow Rate: The desired amount of water to be delivered per unit of time.
