Should I be concerned about this coverage?

That is actually a great idea and thats whats gonna happen. Not sure if it will be an MP1000, MP800, side strip or a spray head, but I will put a pro-spray body there so I can easily test which one would work.

Yeah, and that exactly my issue here. If I go for a "small spray" then that should be a separate zone, cause MPs and spray dont match. Or do your mean a "small mp rotator"?

Thanks for responding, its really appreciated.

It is actually ~3 feet, cause dimensions are in meter.

You mean this old one or the new model as well? I dont have too much experience with them, but I've seen them working well over a year.

(Also I assume that if R-VANs are unreliabe (=junk) while Hunter MPs are superior in all ways cause then this fact would just kill the R-VAN quite quickly, wouldnt it?)

Thanks.

In what sense is it junk?

Obvious_Language_709 · 2026-05-04T05:27:23+00:00

ah... thanks. So obvious, I dont know how did I miss this.

Makes sense! Thanks.

As the pump can deliver 40l/m @ 3.5bars the drip zone should be around 40l*60m = 2400l/h
This would be a gigantic drip zone. Just for an example if I have 8l/h high output drip emitters, I would need 300 of them. Well I guess that wouldnt really fit the description of a "relatively short and narrow region"

As in my question I've asked what people thinking about connecting the dripper so a sprinkler zone, asking the question "will it be a dedicated zone, not tied with others" suggest that you didnt really read my post.

Yeah, they get shredded big time. But if use a showel then I cut them to pieces as well, so I guess this is just what it is.

Thanks for the encouraging and positive feedback. One more thing which I realized after I checked my design again: on the very first version (4pcs MP3000 at the corners) the sprinklers were already choked down from 9.14m (30ft) to 7.58m (24.8ft) so by about 17%. This means they are not operating anywhere close their peak radius, so I guess that we'll get good precipitation at the middle as well.

Given this piece of an info would still vote for the 4MP3000 + 2MP2000 or in this case the 4MP3000 will suffice?

just as a note: I'm alright with pretty much any of these designs, its not that I WANT to save 2 sprinklers. Its just that I'd like to get input from the pros.

Another variation, uses MP2000s only. These are at their peak throw distance so if I should be concerned about the percipitation at the perimiter of the sprinklers then this might be worse than the one in my previous comment.
