Metal Sprinkler

The metal sprinkler is a type of rugged sprinkler that can be used to spray water and chemicals. It is usually used for irrigation. However, in some instances, it may be used to spray harsher substances or liquid.

The metal sprinkler rotates in a circular manner and sprinkles water to plants in the form of rainfall. It is an efficient type of irrigation tool for providing water to crops.

The metal sprinkler consists of a metal head, motor, nozzle and spring which makes it rotate and push out water in a uniform manner. The metal sprinkler is similar to the plastic sprinkler; however, the material used to manufacture the metal sprinkler makes it more durable and rugged than the plastic sprinkler.

The metal sprinkler head can be used to irrigate residential and farming areas. It can be used to irrigate golf courses, football fields, gardens and farms.

The metal sprinkler conserves water as it wets crops at a low rate and sprays out water in a fine spray pattern. This saves water and ensures the water is applied to the plants in a uniform manner.
