Features of Meganet Sprinklers

Integral Mesh Filter

Each sprinkler has an internal mesh filter to prevent dirt from clogging the nozzles, ideal when water contains sand or organic matter.

Pop-Up Protection Design

The unique pop-up mechanism protects the sprinkler when not in operation, shielding it from insects, dust and accidental damage.

Double Jet Water Distribution

The symmetrical double-jet design splits water evenly, improving uniformity and reducing dry or overwatering in the field.

How Meganet Plastic Sprinkler Operates

It produces two symmetrical water jets that ensure even water distribution and is well suited for crops planted in rows or grids. The pop-up design protects moving parts from insects and debris, and a built-in filter reduces clogging risk.

Meganet Sprinkler Spacing

To irrigate your farm effectively:

  • For field vegetables and open crops, 10×10 metre spacing is recommended.
  • Closer spacing (e.g., 8×8 metres) can help with uniform overlap, especially on slopes or uneven terrain.

Good spacing ensures head-to-head coverage, reducing dry patches and maximising water efficiency.

The system head control should be installed in the highest point of the irrigated field, with maximum 2% slope

Benefits of Meganet Sprinkler Heads

  • Perfectly balanced sprinkler with two equal water jets – no wobble.
  • Robust design is closed and compact, preventing insect penetration and protecting internal parts.
  • Excellent distribution uniformity.
  • Install on solid sets or in removable field stands.
  • Each sprinkler head has an individual filter for nozzle cleanliness and to simplify cleaning.
  • UV-protected materials are durable in all climates.
  • Resistant to fertilisers and chemicals.
  • They deliver water gently and evenly, increasing germination success and crop uniformity.
  • The design withstands mechanical or UV damage, keeping your sprinkler operational for a long time.

This benefit makes Meganet sprinklers a reliable choice for vegetables, nurseries, and orchards.

Installation Guide for Meganet Sprinklers

  1. Plan Layout: Draw your field and mark the spacing grid (e.g., 10×10 m).
  2. Prepare Pipes & Risers: Set the lateral lines and risers from your mainline.
  3. Fit Adapters & Connectors: Ensure the correct thread type for your sprinkler model.
  4. Mount & Test: Attach sprinklers and test flow and pressure before full irrigation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid during Installation

  • Placing heads too close or far apart, leading to uneven coverage.
  • Using water with poor high sand content clogs sprinkler heads faster.

Meganet Sprinkler Fittings

  • Thread types: ½″ male thread connectors.
  • Adapters: Used to connect to different pipe diameters or riser types.

Choose fittings that match your pipe layouts to avoid leaks and ensure robust installation.

Controller for Meganet Sprinklers

Controllers make your system efficient by automatically starting or stopping irrigation on preset times. Timers vary with the farm size:

  • Basic Timer Controllers — automate on/off irrigation cycles.
  • Multi-Zone Controllers — ideal for larger farms with multiple sprinkler zones.

Integrating the Meganet sprinkler system with controllers reduces manual watering and ensures consistent schedules.

Filters for Mega Plastic Sprinkler Heads

Meganet plastic sprinklers have tiny nozzles that can clog when silt water is used for irrigation. Ensure your system has a disc or screen filter to trap any dirt, sand or sediment.

Meganet Sprinkler Applications on Farms

Vegetables

Gentle spray and even distribution improve irrigation uniformity and the development of healthy green leaves.

 Orchards

Low-trajectory models irrigate under canopies without interfering or affecting flower development.

Nurseries

The fine droplets of the mega plastic sprinkler head are suitable for the effective growth of young seedlings.

Comparison to Other Overhead Sprinkler Heads

Meganet sprinklers are more affordable compared to impact sprinklers. They deliver a more uniform irrigation coverage than micro sprinklers or impact heads.
