Nozzle replacement

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Hey everyone,

What do you use to gauge that it is time for you to replace your nozzles?

Is it drop in psi?

change in spray pattern?

or just a matter of regimen?

My m-5 btw has seen some pretty serious use and a small piece broke inside the rotator and now the spray pattern will only go as wide as about 25*.

We are going to buy about 3 more of them for the coming season.

We dont use rotary nozzles, no need for them in our service area, but does anyone have any particular problems with them?

I have a general feel for when pressure starts to go on me, and then i throw on the pressure gauge to be sure. I replace as needed at that time.

I have 2 of them, one is an Xtreme and the other is a dirt killer. They usually stay in the toolbox, but have come in handy many times. I have inline filters on them as well. I have no problems to report with either one.

Or, heres another thought...do we just replace them as they get lost :LOL:

You know, like the ones that go shooting out into the neighbors yard and you only caught a glimpse of it as it is ricocheting off a tree branch or disappearing into the grass or behind a tall fence.

Proud to say I have not lost oine yet. Launched a few, but always got them back.

Seems like whenever I have launched one, it's a green one, tough to find in the grass.
