My water bill is over $100 higher per month to irrigate in Nj.
Most of my neighbors lawns look just like the one behind you..the brown dried up one.. with loads of dog poop on them

I have a few and really like them. The only drawback is if you have water duration watering restrictions, they dont put out water fast enough. I have converted back to regular spray heads in many areas because they put out almost 3x as much water per hour.

Your point has been proven. I use both the Rain Bird R-Van and the Hunter MP Rotator. Problem I have with the Rain Bird R-Van is that one our water pressure isn’t the best and the water quality isn’t the best where I am from and it tends to clog after a certain about of run times and they quit spinning. MP Rotator can handle the water quality better and does better with low water pressure. Only thing about the MP Rotator is that you have to buy a tool with it compared to the R-Van being hand adjustable. Overall I would use both depending on what kind of water I am working with and how much pressure I have. All in all they both are good products and they work great

Solid demo with the leaf blower. Really gets the point across.

I agree with you they're great heads.. my GF has asked me2 replace her 5 or 6 noisy chik chik chik chik nozzles & sev rotors w/these & I got 4 done last year w/4 more to go..already quieter @ 5am

I have the same nozzles. In my area they are not in the big box stores for some reason. Had to get them online.

I love the r-vans, I use them in my backyard. The red ones 17-24 are my fave and put out a lot of distance. The beige ones I don't like as much, 13-18ft which sometimes don't shoot as far as advertised. I use a blue for the garden bed. Nice lawn, what is your watering schedule and how long of a run to get .5"? I run 12 min for just a bit under .5" every 3 days.

Great video, with a little bit windy!!😂😂 What city do you live? Thanks a lot!👍

[GladwinAbrio]

can the normal sprikler head just be replaced with an rvan or do we need to buy a rainbird sprinkler body?

[LifeIsScience]

I need to get this for my dads ranch, it doesn’t even get that windy but the water gets everywhere. Didn’t even know these existed, perfect solution!

[theduckthatquacks]

Most people will need additional heads on change from a hunter rotor or a pop up for RVAN heads.. they do not reach long distance reliably

Replaced a broken rotarynozzle yesterday for $6 at a sprinkler supply store.

I think the guy next to you is hoping for some really high winds from your direction to save his lawn from a grim death.

Looks like watering time will need to be longer than using normal nozzle.

I don't like that baseball field look 4a residence.. reminds me of..a baseball field.... thought your lawn looked better without it.
