Impulse sprinklers are sprinklers that are often mounted on a stand or be placed with a ground spike into the ground. They are also known as impact sprinkler. The water exits through a single nozzle and is divided by a beam breaker. The single nozzle allows large ranges so that impulse sprinklers are preferably used for irrigation of large areas.

Gear-driven sprinklers are mostly sprinkler ( pop-ups ). Does pressure on the line, the sprinkler moves from the sprinkler head out of the ground. The water pressure drives a gear, so that the sprinkler rotates. Gear-driven sprinklers are part of an irrigation system that passes in the remote-controlled solenoid valve water for the sprinkler.

Impact sprinkler and sprinkler gear belong to the circle or sector sprinklers. They revolve around a central axis and can be adjusted so that they irrigate full circle or circular cutouts.

Sprinkler are what we usually think of as a lawn sprinkler for private use. The water is ejected through several nozzles in a spray stream, which are tiltably mounted, the movement is driven by the water pressure. Your name derives from the fact that the irrigated area ( in the idealized case ) is always rectangular.

Sprinklers are small nozzles with stand / ground spike that connected to a garden hose spray a certain area. They have no moving parts. A disadvantage of this Sprinklerart is the high evaporation rate.

As a fire protection sprinkler system be integrated into the ceiling space and usually coupled to automatic smoke detectors, so that the sprinkler system starts with clouds of smoke to irrigate the room.
