Commercial System
This commercial design guide highlights Rain Bird
product and technology solutions for a healthy
landscape that uses less water.
Rotors
In-Stem Pressure Regulation
Prevent water loss caused by
uneven water pressure. Every
5 psi reduction in pressure re-
duces water usage by 6-8%.

The
5000PRS Series Rotor has docu-
mented 15-45% water savings.

High Eciency Nozzles
Rain Curtain™ nozzle technology
delivers thick water droplets in
a uniform, consistent pattern,
eliminating over-spray which
results in water savings.
• AllRainBirdRotors
Check Valve Devices
Prevent water from draining
out of the system at the lowest
sprinkler, which eliminates
erosion and runo.
• AllRainBirdRotors
Vandal Resistance
Vandal-resistant rotors prevent
water loss due to damage and
abuse.
• 5500/8005SeriesRotors
Central Control Systems
Automatic ET-Based Scheduling
Adjusts run-times based on water loss from
the soil through evaporation and water
loss through plant transpiration ensuring
that the right amount of water is applied
without over watering or under watering.
Automatic adjustment to watering
schedules based on evapotranspiration
(ET) can reduce water use by 30-50%.

*All claims of water savings dependent on proper design, installation, and
maintenance of irrigation products. Actual water savings may vary from user to
user depending on weather, irrigation system and site conditions, and previous
irrigation practices.
