Replacing Obsolete Rain Jet Sprinkler Heads with Modern Alternatives

User has a Rain Jet system chosen for minimal overlap (18 ft squares, 48 ft diameter circles). Heads are no longer available; needs comparable replacements.

Modern Equivalents

Tony recommends Hunter and Rain Bird lines with sufficient nozzle variety:

• Hunter: Pro Spray and PGJ series
• Rain Bird: 1800 and 3500 series

He adds: "Although it's always a good idea to overlap the arc coverage of one sprinkler with that of another one for uniformity." Head-to-head coverage is the design standard for even precipitation; the original Rain Jet design's non-overlap approach often leads to dry spots.
