Rain Bird Pop Up Sprinkler: Maintenance and Tips

Blog Article

Rain Bird pop up sprinklers are reliable, but maintenance is key. To keep them popping up smoothly, clean the riser tube monthly for debris. If a head won’t pop up, check water pressure—low pressure (below 25 PSI) can be a culprit. For adjustment, follow these steps: Activate the head, use a screwdriver on the arc screw to set the spray pattern, and twist the nozzle to adjust distance. Different models (e.g., 1800 vs. 5000 series) have slightly different mechanisms, so consult the manual. Replace worn nozzles or O-rings if leaks occur. A well-maintained Rain Bird system saves water and keeps your lawn healthy.
