Product Overview
The Hunter MP300090 MP Rotator is an advanced sprinkler head designed for efficient water distribution in landscape irrigation systems. It utilizes a unique multi-trajectory rotating stream delivery system, which allows water to be applied at a slower, more consistent rate compared to traditional spray nozzles. This method promotes better water absorption into the soil, reducing runoff and conserving water resources. The MP300090 model offers an adjustable radius from 22 to 30 feet and an adjustable arc from 90 to 210 degrees, providing flexibility for various landscape shapes and sizes.
Key Features
- Water Efficiency: Increased efficiency results in up to 30% less water use compared to traditional sprays, significantly reducing wasteful runoff.
- Versatile Installation: Can be installed onto any conventional spray head body or shrub adapter, making it suitable for new systems or upgrades.
- Flexible Range: Provides immense range flexibility, making it an excellent choice for various landscape designs and watering needs.
- Adjustable Arc: Features an adjustable arc from 90-degree to 210-degree for precise watering.
- Adjustable Radius: Offers a radius range of 22-Feet to 30-Feet.
Setup Instructions
The Hunter MP300090 MP Rotator is designed for straightforward installation. It can be easily threaded onto any standard pop-up spray body or shrub adapter with a 1/2-inch female thread. Ensure the system is depressurized before beginning installation.
- Prepare the Connection: Ensure the existing spray body or shrub adapter is clean and free of debris.
- Thread the Rotator: Carefully thread the MP300090 MP Rotator onto the spray body or adapter. Hand-tighten only; do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the rotator.
- Adjust Arc and Radius: Once installed, the arc and radius can be adjusted. The arc adjustment is typically done by rotating the collar on the top of the nozzle. The radius can be adjusted using a specialized tool or by hand, depending on the specific model. Refer to the markings on the nozzle for precise settings.
- Test the System: Slowly turn on the water supply to the zone and observe the spray pattern. Make any final adjustments to the arc and radius as needed to ensure optimal coverage and avoid watering non-target areas.

Operation
The MP Rotator operates by delivering multiple rotating streams of water, which significantly reduces the precipitation rate. This allows water to penetrate the soil more effectively, even on slopes or dense clay soils, minimizing runoff and promoting healthier plant growth. The adjustable arc and radius settings enable precise customization of the watering area, ensuring water is delivered only where it's needed.
The MP Rotator heads are often color-coded to indicate their specific range and arc capabilities, simplifying selection and installation for different zones within your irrigation system.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Hunter MP300090 MP Rotator. While MP Rotators are known for their resistance to clogging, periodic checks are recommended.
- Filter Cleaning: The MP Rotator includes a removable filter screen at its base. If you notice reduced performance or an irregular spray pattern, carefully remove the rotator head and clean the filter screen under running water.
- Debris Removal: Periodically inspect the area around the sprinkler head for any debris (e.g., grass clippings, soil) that might obstruct the spray pattern or prevent the head from fully retracting.
- Winterization: In regions subject to freezing temperatures, it is crucial to properly winterize your irrigation system, including the MP Rotator heads, to prevent damage from freezing water. Consult a local irrigation professional for specific winterization procedures if unsure.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
