A 3 arm sprinkler spins under water pressure to water lawns, gardens and crops in a circle.
Its three arms spread water evenly. In addition, it connects to a hose or riser.
What is a 3 arm sprinkler?
Irrigation sprinklers spread water over lawns, gardens and crops. Rotating arm sprinklers spin under water pressure to throw water in a circle, while pop up sprinklers rise from the ground when the water is on.
Coverage depends on pressure, nozzle and spacing. Therefore, plan sprinkler spacing so the wetted circles overlap evenly.
