Microsprinklers are like drippers as they do not require any special maintenance unless there is a problem. One of the things you will run into most often is the need to adjust the spray direction if they have moved. The other thing may be hard water deposits on the deflectors or nozzles. Some sprinklers you can clean this off and others you may need to replace occasionally. Occasionally does not mean every year or even two, it all depends on your water quality. Just check how they work every once in awhile. ... Microsprinklers: 2 models, 21 gph / 27 ft. diameter and 11 gph / 21 ft. diameter. Both come with 90°, 180°, 360° and strip spray deflectors.

Les microasperseurs sont de petits asperseurs dynamiques, dont les débits sont plus élevés (100 à 300 l/h) et les portées de 3 à 6 m. Moins sensibles au colmatage, ils requièrent une finesse de filtration supérieure et sont utilisés en arboriculture et sous serre. Arrosant des surfaces de 1 à 6 mètres de diamètre, les minidiffuseurs et les microasperseurs sont nécessaires lorsque la diffusion latérale de l'eau est faible ou que l'eau n'est pas disponible tout le temps (tour d'eau). 1, record 1, French, - microasperseur
