Now that you have done all that work, you will feel pretty confident to continue to tweak your system as needed. On mine, for example, I replaced all the spray heads on one zone with multiple stream rotors. Very pretty and they lay the water down more slowly than traditional single-stream rotors, but less wind-sensitive than spray heads.
Thanks! That's some good information. I'd be interested in trying something like that. I did a quick search for "multiple stream rotors" but what I saw were nozzles that replaced the standard spray nozzles, and seemed to stick up above ground level. That would be lawnmower blade territory for me. Are they available in a pop-up style that drops back flush with ground level, or will I have to replace the entire head? I like the idea of slower application of water, and never did like the mist from the spray nozzles. It looks like there is a lot of evaporation in addition to the wind drift. Are they adjustable so that they will work with an existing layout in terms of water coverage from the sprinkler head to the farthest throw point and in between? A big consideration for me would be getting even coverage, either with each head or through the overlap of multiple heads.
