How to Adjust Pop Up Sprinkler Heads: A Universal Guide

Blog Article

Most pop up sprinkler heads share similar adjustment principles. To start, activate the head with water pressure (connect a hose if offline). For spray arc adjustments, locate the arc screw—turning it restricts or expands the spray from partial to full circle. For distance, twist the nozzle or use the distance screw: clockwise shortens the throw, counterclockwise extends it. Some heads, like Hunter Pro models, have a “part circle” tab to set specific arcs. Always test adjustments in sections to avoid overlapping or missed areas. If the head sticks, clean debris from the riser or lubricate with silicone spray. Remember: slight tweaks make a big difference—adjust gradually for precision.
