In dozens of blind tests with real contractors, 75% of participants chose Hunter spray nozzles over the competition.
"We are using Hunter nozzles because we feel that they are the strongest, easiest to adjust, solid, and they don't break on us."
Dave
Owner, Dave Suda Landscape
"The best one I saw that was the most even with the best droplets was the Hunter fixed nozzle."
Robert
Owner, Robert Brown Landscape Irrigation Inc.
"Hunter was the top one. The Hunter that I saw had noticeably bigger droplets, which I liked, and it seemed very even."
Chris
Retired Landscape Contractor
Hunter spray nozzles distribute water evenly with a smooth pattern, fight the effects of wind with large water droplets, and minimize overspray with crisp edges. Contractors agree, Hunter spray nozzles outperform the competition in a blind spray nozzle challenge.

Solve Common Spray Challenges With Hunter Nozzles
"I can't keep landscape edges green without overspray."
Problem
The urban heat island effect dries out turf along hardscapes, but weak-edged nozzles can’t deliver enough water to these hotter zones. Landscapers often overcompensate by opening the arc too far, which causes overspray and runoff.
Solution
Hunter nozzles deliver consistent coverage even in the hotter zones near hardscapes, without creating overspray. Their strong, well-defined spray edges resist wind distortion and ensure water stays where it’s needed, keeping landscape edges healthy.

"Broken nozzles are killing my turf and spraying water everywhere."
Problem
Traditional spray nozzles break easily, leading to erratic spray patterns, wasted water, and increased maintenance.
Solution
Hunter Pro High-Efficiency Nozzles feature thick, coined edges that resist damage from equipment, improving durability and long-term performance.

"I can’t work on my sprinkler system without getting wet.”
Problem
Most adjustable nozzles still release some water even when set to 0°, making it difficult to service the system without getting wet.
Solution
Hunter Pro High-Efficiency Nozzles can fully shut off the flow for system maintenance or troubleshooting. Simply turn the nozzle top clockwise to close the arc completely until all water stops.

Pro High-Efficiency Nozzles
Challenging angles demand nozzles that adapt to their surroundings. Hunter Pro High-Efficiency Nozzles deliver the flexibility of an adjustable nozzle with the accuracy of a fixed pattern. Available in five models, they cover distances from 8' to 17'.
The thick, easy-grip top makes adjustments fast and simple while helping the nozzle resist equipment damage. Learn More
Pro Fixed Nozzles
The 8', 10', 12', and 15' models also include the less common third-arc pattern for added design flexibility. These fixed-arc nozzles provide accurate irrigation for a variety of landscape shapes and sizes. Learn More
Strip Pattern Nozzles
Hunter Strip Pattern Nozzles are among our most popular fixed-arc options. The left corner, right corner, and end strip models provide tight 5' × 15' coverage, while the side strip and center strip nozzles cover a wider 5' × 30' pattern.
