Micro sprinklers and sprays

Micro-spray is a cross between surface spray irrigation and drip irrigation. It has some of the advantages and some of the disadvantages of each type of irrigation. Like drip irrigation, micro-spray is considered a type of low-pressure irrigation typically operating with pressures between 15 and 30 psi. It is generally considered low volume with application rates of 5 to 70 gallons per hour (gph) (18.9 Lph to 264 Lph). Micro-spray typically creates a larger wetted area then drip irrigation making it well suited for irrigating ground covers, large flowerbeds and sandy soil.

Micro-spray is delivered through micro tubing to a series of nozzles attached to risers. These risers may be fixed or designed to pop-up. In either case, it is easy to see that they are functioning, eliminating the most commonly voiced complaint about drip irrigation.
