THE IDEAL SPRINKLERfrom 1.2 m strips to 9 m radius

The MP Rotator. A revolutionary sprinkler setting a new standard for water effi ciency in the turf & landscape industry. It is a multi-

stream rotor the size of a spray nozzle. It fi ts any

conventional spray head body or shrub adapter,

transforming it into a high uniformity, low

precipitation rate sprinkler with matched precip-

itation even after arc and radius adjustment.

A WATER CONSERVATION TOOL·�� Multiple rotating streams provide superior uniformity·�� Automatic matched precipitation even after arc & radius adjustment·�� Low precipitation rate reduces runoff on slopes & tight soils

A FLEXIBLE DESIGN TOOL ·�� Ideal for 1.2 m strips to 9 m spacings — any

model can be combined on the same zone ·�� Eliminates the uncertainty associated

with nozzle trees and rotor nozzling

PROVEN DURABILITY & RELIABILITY�·�� Rotator® Technology proven in demanding

agricultural conditions since 1987·�� One moving part·�� “Double-pop” fl ushes on start-up and shut-down

SIMPLE AND QUICK ADJUSTMENTS* ·�� Easy arc adjustment (1) ·�� Easy radius adjustment (2) — up to 25%·�� No nozzle to change

> NEW SYSTEMS — Ultimate design fl exibility

— Lower installed costs — Better system effi ciency

> REVITALIZE OLD SYSTEMS — Solve low pressure problems

— Solve coverage problems

> SLOPES & TIGHT SOILS— Low precipitation radically reduces runoff

SAVE WATER — SOLVE PROBLEMS

Compared to fi xed-arc sprays and rotors, MP Rotators deliver signifi cant performance advantages, great design fl exibility and impressive cost savings. Any of the MP Rotator models can be combined on the same zone and maintain a matched precipitation rate — even after arc and radius adjustment.

On existing systems, the MP Rotator’s unique combination of low fl ow and high uniformity makes it possible to solve spray head coverage problems — whether the problem is low pressure, too many spray heads on a line or “stretched” spacing.

The MP Corner is designed for tight corners that are difficult to irrigate properly with conventional sprinklers. It has an adjustable arc from 45° to 105°, maintains MPR at any arc, any radius and can be placed on the same zone with any other MP Rotator model.

The three new MP Strip models of the MP Rotator family offer an exciting alternative to conventional spray heads to meet the challenges of irrigating strip areas. Strip models offer improved uniformity and excellent wind-fighting ability. The reduced flow rate compared to conventional sprays makes longer runs and/or fewer zones possible.

*To obtain full radius reduction for the MP1000 and MP2000, operate at a maximum of 2 bar. ** When operating the MP3000 at full radius reduction maintain a mini-mum pressure of 2.8 bar to assure reliable operation. Radius measured on a 10 cm high riser. Precipitation rates are based on head-to-head throw coverage.

WE TAKE THIS CLAIM VERY SERIOUSLY The water savings potential is real ...

it is big ... and the MP Rotator® is the future.

THE MP ROTATOR® saves water compared to

conventional sprays & rotors

The multi-trajectory, rotating streams of the MP Rotator

apply water more slowly and uniformly than conventional

sprays and rotors — especially after arc and radius adjust-

ment. Independent water audits now document water

savings of 30% when conventional sprays are replaced

with MP Rotators. Additional water-saving advantages

include better wind-resistance, less misting and virtually

no run-off. Visit www.mprotator.com to learn more.
