Large Wetted Area Per Tree
Better root development.
Greater soil moisture reserve root access to a larger reserve of micro-nutrients.
Irrigation Efficiency
Low application rates for better soil penetration and less runoff compared to solid set sprinklers or flood irrigation.
Controlled water placement: water is delivered directly to the area(root zone) where the plant needs it.
Lower System Costs
Lower operating pressures and flow rates mean less money spent for pumping power and supply piping.
Fan-Jet Sprinklers cost less than conventional rotary sprinklers (by the unit & by the acre).
Lower Maintenance
No moving parts to wear out or get "stuck".
No rotary seals to wear out or leak.
Fertigation & Chemigation
Precise application of fertilizers and chemicals saves money and optimizes efficiency.
Visibility Of Water
Easy to detect a clogged orifice.
Frost Protection
Raise ambient temperature up to 2 degrees.
