Toro is a well-known company that produces a variety of sprinklers and irrigation equipment. One of their popular products is the 570 MPR sprinkler line, which features sprinkler heads that have a “Matched Precipitation Rate” or MPR. This means that all the sprinkler heads in the 570 MPR line will distribute the same amount of water regardless of the pattern or throw distance they are set at. This ensures that all areas receive the right amount of water without over or under-watering. However, the MPR sprinkler heads cannot be adjusted individually. Instead, you need to replace the nozzle with a new one that has the desired settings built-in.
Step 1
Purchase a new MPR nozzle that matches the desired settings. The MPR nozzles have different colors that indicate their throw distance. The red nozzle covers 5 feet, the green nozzle covers 8 feet, the blue nozzle covers 12 feet, and the brown nozzle covers 15 feet.
Step 2
Locate the sprinkler head that you want to adjust.
Step 3
Using needle-nose pliers, grip the top of the nozzle and pull the spray head straight up.
Step 4
Hold the supply tube with one hand.
Step 5
Rotate the existing MPR nozzle counterclockwise until it comes off.
Step 6
Attach the new MPR nozzle to the supply tube and turn it clockwise until it is tight. Adjust the direction of the nozzle by turning the supply tube until the opening points in the desired direction.
