Hunter Spray Heads

Choosing the right pop-up height for a sprinkler head depends on the type of area you’re watering. For lawns and turf areas, use a pop-up height that’s 2” to 4” above the grass so the spray clears the blades without being too tall. Flower beds and low plants can use shorter pop-ups, while tall grass may require pop-ups 6″ or 12″.

Hunter Pro-Spray sprinkler bodies accept most of Hunter’s standard female-threaded spray nozzles. Try to choose a nozzle based on its radius, spray pattern, precipitation rate, and available water pressure.

Water pooling around a sprinkler head can be caused by a number of issues, including a leaking seal, cracked sprinkler body, loose fitting, or a valve that is not closing completely. It can also happen when the sprinkler is installed too low. If water appears only while the zone is running, inspect the head and connections for leaks. If pooling continues after the system shuts off, check for a valve that may be leaking.

A Hunter PRO‑SPRAY Sprinkler Body or similar Hunter sprinkler body is very durable and built to last for years. Under normal residential use with proper maintenance, spray bodies will last up to 10 years before needing replacement. Actual lifespans can vary quite a bit depending on soil conditions, water quality, and pressure fluctuations.
