My sprinkler system has six zones, installed 24 years ago. Two zones have rotary heads for watering the back lawn. The other four zones have pop-up heads.
On zone 5, one rotary head has been capped off (there was no longer grass in its throw area.) I now want to plant shrubs in the old rotary throw area.
QUESTION: can I add a Shrub or pop-up head to a zone that has rotary heads, or is the water utilization (gpm) of the two types of heads so different that I'd have a disaster?
So, can head types be mixed and matched on a sprinker zone?
(The sprinkler guys and HD and Lowe's dont have a clue, and I'm not about to pay $$$$ for a "professional" to replace a sprinkler head which is a 10 minute task).
