Durability and design

• Heavy-duty, high-impact case and reinforced ribbing for long-term use in challenging environments.
• Brass weighted behavior and a water saver PJ spray guide arm help control the stream and minimize splash near structures.
• Double-weighted arm design slows rotation for extended throw distance (up to 41 feet).
• Diffuser screw breaks water into finer droplets for uniform coverage and optional radius reduction.
• Grit-proof bearing and a stainless-steel retract spring ensure reliable pop-up and retraction.
