What is a travel sprayer?

6 But not every house has installed and gets a new system requires extensive and expensive work. In addition, manual irrigation is time consuming and inefficient. Travel sprinkler solves both these problems by moving, unattended, over the backyards along a predetermined track. It provides deep, even watering into a large area and is second only to the spraying system. Mounted inside the unit near the rear is a two -speed transmission that powered the sprayer forward. The power of the machine comes only from the pressure of the water.

The water is based on two connected spray arms that are bent at opposite angles. The water pressure coming out at these angles is rotated, which in turn rotates the internal gears system. Slow turning the gears moves the sprayer forward to about 30 feet (11.2 m) per hour. Some travel sprinklers have a more complex drive system with high and low gearing as well as neutral equipment for stationary watering.

Management is a simple matter on the wandering spraying. The front wheel is grooved to follow a conventional garden hose specified in the grass. It is basically the same principle as the monorail train running along its track. Up to 200 feet (60 m) of the hose can be used, providing a passenger to the passenger surface of irrigation coverage of up to 13,500 square feet (4115 square m). When the end of the “track” is reached, the sprinkler encounters a small ramp that pushes the valve on the unit that then turns off automatically.

Although travel sprayers with their own drive, it's still a good idea to check their progress once in a while. Sometimes they can "derail" if there are too many curves in the hose or if they hit large sticks, pine or other barriers. In addition, the hose must be turned off as soon as the sprinkler completes its course, otherwise it remains pressure. Once the house owner gets used to its use, it can be travelingSprayer with a great alternative to install an underground sprinkler system.
