sprinkler system issues

May 16, 2007 0 Replies

I have a five circuit sprinkler system comprised of mixed types of heads.



Everything seems to be pretty good except for three of the pop up heads. These are in a large, vase-like plastic holder, with a flat plastic top. They pop up and a RainBird type impulse sprinkler does a good job of watering.



My problem is they fill up with dirt frequently and then freeze up and only water one spot. To get 'em fixed, I have to dig 'em up, cut them loose from the feeder pipe, and take 'em in and clean 'em out.



Is there a better way to run a railroad for me here? What's the solution? Change to a different brand/type of sprinkler head?



If so, what brand/model would be a good replacement for what I have?
