What is the typical difference between spray heads and rotor heads in application pattern and precipitation rate?

• A. Spray heads provide higher precipitation and fixed patterns; rotors provide lower precipitation with rotating streams for larger areas.
• B. Rotors deliver more water per hour than sprays in all cases.
• C. Spray heads rotate; rotors are fixed.
• D. Sprays are for larger areas than rotors.

Answer: (A)

Spray heads deliver water in a fixed spray pattern and tend to have a higher precipitation rate, which makes them ideal for smaller, more defined areas. Rotor heads rotate their streams, delivering water more slowly (lower precipitation) and over a larger area, providing more uniform coverage across bigger zones. So sprays are chosen for precise, quicker coverage in tight spaces, while rotors are preferred for expansive areas where you want even distribution with a lower flow rate.
