Low-Water-Use Sprinkler Systems with Top Product Recommendations

For Waterwise landscapes in dry climates like San Diego, drip irrigation is often the most efficient and sustainable way to keep your plants thriving. Drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to the root zones of plants through tubing, emitters, or inline drip lines—significantly reducing water loss from evaporation, runoff, and overspray. These systems are ideal for shrubs, groundcovers, native plants, and drought-tolerant landscapes, and can be easily integrated into new designs or retrofitted into existing sprinkler systems.

To complement drip irrigation, upgrading to high-efficiency sprinkler components is key to conserving water while maintaining a healthy, beautiful yard.

1. Drip Conversion Kits:
Easily retrofit traditional spray zones into water-saving drip zones using Netafin Drip irrigation Systems or Rain Bird 1800-RETRO Spray-to-Drip Conversion Kit or the Hunter Retrofit Drip Kit with integrated pressure regulation and filtration. Drip irrigation is especially useful for shrub beds, planters, succulents, and California native plants.

2. Rotary Nozzles / MP Rotators:
Swap standard nozzles with Hunter MP Rotator Nozzles. These multi-stream rotating heads deliver water slowly and evenly, reducing runoff and saving up to 30% more water.
Another excellent choice: Rain Bird R-VAN Adjustable Rotary Nozzles, perfect for irregular or sloped areas with customizable arc and radius settings.

3. Strip Pattern Nozzles:
For narrow areas like parkways or side yards, install Rain Bird U-Series Strip Nozzles or Toro Precision Strip Nozzles (side, center, or end strip). These provide controlled rectangular spray patterns that minimize waste on hardscapes.

4. High-Efficiency Spray Heads (HES):
Upgrade to Rain Bird 1800 Series PRS Spray Heads or Hunter Pro-Spray PRS40. These heads feature pressure-regulating stems that maintain a consistent 30 PSI, reducing misting and overspray for efficient water use.5. Smart Timers & Flow Sensors:
Take full control of your water use with Rachio 3 Smart Controller or Hunter Hydrawise HC Controller. These devices use weather data to automatically adjust watering schedules. For leak detection and efficiency tracking, pair them with Rain Bird Flow Sensor FS200 or Hunter HC Flow Meter.
