Hunter HydroTech prefers Rain Bird spray bodies and nozzles for residential service. We purchase professional irrigation products through landscape-supply distributors rather than choosing parts solely by the lowest shelf price.
Why product quality matters
A spray body is repeatedly pressurized, extended, retracted, exposed to soil, and placed near lawn equipment. Seal quality, spring performance, nozzle consistency, and body construction affect service life.
Problems Hunter HydroTech has seen with low-cost products
- Leaks directly out of the box
- Early seal leaks
- Weak spray patterns
- Inconsistent operation
- Shorter service life
Our standard
Hunter HydroTech generally avoids Orbit and Toro spray products and prefers Rain Bird, while also using compatible Hunter spray bodies where appropriate.
