Any dacha plot where fruits, vegetables and other plants grow needs irrigation.
In our article we will describe how to choose sprinklers for watering in the garden, we will describe the main types of these devices.
General description and purpose of devices
Depending on the irrigation of which site and plants you need to perform, it is important to choose the right sprinkler. Their main purpose is to ensure proper watering, to moisten the soil in such a way as to achieve the maximum result of growing plants. 
As a rule, the design of sprinklers includes a hose and the nozzle itself, through which the site is irrigated.
Important! If you have a water meter installed on your summer cottage, in order to save it, purchase sprinklers with fluid flow regulators. They allow you to control water consumption and, consequently, save on watering.Today there are many types of these structures, in our article we describe the most basic devices for irrigation.
Main types
Before you go shopping for a sprinkler, you need to know what kind of unit you need. To do this, we give a brief description of each species.
Static
In appearance, models of this type may differ, but they are united by one main feature - the design does not contain rotating parts, provides irrigation around itself. Such polivalki can either dig into the ground, or be portable. 
Those that can be deepened into the soil, in appearance resemble a cylinder from which its inner part extends. One mechanism can cover a fairly small area - up to 10 square meters. m. Often they are used to irrigate a large area, installing several sprinklers at once.
The most common designs of manufacturers Karcher and Gardena, a good quality products have firms Hunter and Rain Bird.
You will be interested to know about automatic irrigation, about the pump for irrigation from the barrel, about drip irrigation from bottles and how to choose a hose for irrigation.
Rotary
In their design, models of this type are a bit similar to static ones, but one difference still exists: they have a rotating part. This type of sprinklers is able to cover a plot up to 30 meters.
Did you know? The first mechanized irrigation system that was used to irrigate the fields was invented in 1954.Some models, which are buried in the soil, make it possible to customize irrigation, while selecting a specific sector on the site.
Such a function allows for the effective irrigation of areas with a complex geometric shape. Sprinklers are able to save water, thereby reducing irrigation costs.Circular
Circular polivalka for the garden is most often used if necessary to perform irrigation of the lawn.
Water is sprayed due to the design of the rotational movements. The radius of the model may vary, but some designs can provide watering within 10 meters.
Also, more expensive models allow you to set the desired radius, which makes it possible to use the mechanism in areas of different sizes. Installation of sprinkler is made directly to the ground. 
Retractable
Sliding sprinklers are directly involved in automatic irrigation. Their installation is made in the soil, they are slightly embedded in it. When water is turned on, the tip comes out and moisture is evenly sprayed over the area.
When the system turns off, the tip goes underground again. This type of sprinkler is good for watering areas with a small area. With their help, it is convenient to water lawns, flower beds and small lawns. 
Sprayers
A water sprayer under pressure is very similar to a rotary device, but its main difference is that spraying is carried out at certain intervals, and not constantly. Watering is carried out according to this principle: first distant areas are watered, and then nearby ones.
It will also be useful for you to learn more about watering cucumbers, garlic, carrots, cabbage, orchids, grapes, and lawn.You can set the watering according to the specified sectors. For a short time, the irrigation system closes the water supply valve to the nozzles, and at this moment the jet reaches a length of about 20 meters. In some models it is possible to independently set the angle of rotation and inclination.
Oscillating
This dozhdevatel is intended for watering of the rectangular areas which length makes up to 30 meters, and width - at most 17 meters. They are a movable tube with several holes that are necessary for irrigation. The water bottle is mounted on a standard stand.
Important! Connecting the watering device to the hose, it is necessary to fix it with a fixing ring - otherwise it may fall off.Usually for the manufacture of the body using metal or plastic. Rotation of the tube is carried out not along a circle, but at a given angle. The inflow of water occurs constantly, and the range of irrigation varies.
You can independently adjust the swing angle and set values from 0 to 180 °. The option to set the width of watering is not available in all models. Installation of such sprinklers is carried out either on the ground or on a special stand. 
How to choose a sprinkler?
Today, the market offers a huge selection of different models and types of irrigators, which are designed for different areas and zones. When choosing a device, you should be guided by the following irrigation system parameters:
- Decide what pressure head you need. There are models in which it can be adjusted, and there are designs with only one type of jet.
- Plot what form you need to water. Depending on the shape of the site (round, rectangular, square), it is necessary to choose the type of sprinkler.
- It is important to determine whether you need the ability to adjust the tips to change the angle of watering.
- Is it possible autonomous watering.
- The system pressure is checked to ensure high-quality irrigation.
Popular models
The most popular and sought after sprinklers of companies such as Gardena, Karcher, Rain Bird and Hunter. They are distinguished by reliability, ease of operation, and are also famous for their great capabilities. The functions of the mechanisms allow you to choose the type of jet, its direction.
Did you know? The leader in the area of irrigated land among the countries of the whole world is India - irrigation is carried out on 60.9 million hectares.Among rotary and fan units, preference is better given to producers such as Hunter and Rain Bird, which produce a large range of irrigation products.
