In this video, we’re going to discuss a few of the features of the K-Rain SuperPro Adjustable Rotor and show you how to change out a nozzle and make some adjustments. I’m your Sprinkler Warehouse Product Specialist, let’s get started.
Benefits Of K-Rain’s Super Pro Adjustable Rotor
This is the K-Rain 10003 Super Pro Rotor. This rotor has a pop-up height of 5 inches and it has a three-quarter-inch inlet. The SuperPro is both an adjustable pattern rotor and a continuous 360-degree rotor in one. You can set the pattern anywhere from 40 degrees to 360 degrees.
When you set it to 360 it goes around in a continuous pattern. The way you set the pattern on this is incredibly cool. Using this rotor tool or a flat-head screwdriver just point this arrow here to the pattern width that you need. Completely straightforward with no guessing. The SuperPro has an Arc Memory Clutch, which Prevents internal gear damage and returns the rotor to its prior setting automatically if the nozzle turret is forced out of adjustment.
Added Features Of The SuperPro Rotor
Another added feature is the flow shut-off capability, which allows you to shut off the flow of water to the head while the system is still in operation. Allowing you to do some maintenance on the head without having to turn off your system.
It’s also perfect for new construction so you can water areas where sod has already been laid AND you can shut off the heads where the sod has not yet been installed. It has a watering distance of 28 to 49 feet depending on the nozzle installed and how the adjustment screw is set. This rotor comes with this set of nozzles.
Let’s talk about the various adjustments. Looking at the top of the rotor This is the pull-up slot. Put your tool in like this. Turn and pull up. This is the arc Adjustment Slot. Where you set your pattern. And this is your flow shut-off slot. And this raised area is where you access the nozzle retention screw. Let’s go look at this rotor in action.
How To Change The Nozzle
We’re going to start by changing out a nozzle. We could pull up the riser with the tool, but it’s easier to just run the zone, and turn off the water to the head with the flow shut-off slot. Back out the screw. You need to get it out of the way of the nozzle. Pull out the nozzle with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Put in the new nozzle.
There’s a little divot where the nozzle accepts the nozzle retention screw. That part goes up. Push in the nozzle with your finger. It will go in at a downward angle. Now screw the nozzle retention screw back down. And we’ll turn the water back on. Right now the nozzle retention screw isn’t touching the stream of water.
Even if you want the maximum distance out of the rotor you still want that screw to diffuse the stream of water a bit for a more even spray. See the difference? And the nozzle retention screw can be used to adjust your watering distance, also called the radius. You want the stream of water to reach the next rotor over. That’s called the head–to–head coverage.
As you can see the arc is set to 90 degrees right now. That won’t do. So we’ll set it to 180 degrees by turning the slot right in the center of the rotor. That’s better but my stop isn’t in the right place. So grab the riser and twist. And that’s about right. So that’s the K-Rain SuperPro Adjustable Rotor.
