1.Oscillating Sprinklers:
These have a long, tube-like design that moves back and forth, creating a fan-shaped spray of water.
Ideal for medium to large rectangular areas, such as lawns and gardens.
2.Rotary or Rotating Sprinklers:
Feature rotating arms that spin to spray water in a circular pattern.
They are suitable for circular or small lawn areas and work well on flat terrain.
3.Impact Sprinklers:
Use a hammer mechanism that "impacts" against the spray arm, creating a distinct clicking sound and spraying in an adjustable circular pattern.
Commonly used in large areas, such as sports fields or farms, as they cover long distances.
4.In-Ground or Pop-Up Sprinklers:
Installed below the surface and "pop up" when the system is activated.
These are often part of automatic sprinkler systems, ideal for residential lawns with a permanent irrigation setup.
5.Drip Irrigation or Soaker Hoses:
These do not spray water; instead, they release water slowly at the base of plants, ideal for gardens and flower beds.
They minimize water waste and reduce runoff, making them eco-friendly.
