    Bought the house 2 years ago, sprinklers worked the 1st year. Had a company come shut it off and blow it out. Then tried to get them up and running last year and they weren't working. Low pressure, zones not activating. I'm thinking there's a leak or blockage. Maybe damage from the blow out.

    Didn't use it last year, and now I want to get it up and running again...or fixed...or replaced...

    I could also use a bi weekly mowing/edging/trim.

    Reviving an old thread for a question.

    I have all MP Rotator sprinkler heads. Can anyone recommend a pop-up sprinkler head that is somewhat dog resistant?

    My back yard has been looking unusually dry. I was just swapping a couple of heads to get better coverage, and my dog ruined one of the heads. He bent in the stainless adjustment ring. As I continue to check the other heads, they're pretty much all destroyed with the same issue.

    In other words, can I fix the sprinklers or would it be easier to fix the dog?

    Maybe just replace with standard 4-in pop-ups? Orbit makes a metal topped unit . . . but the reviews on them universally suck, so I wouldn't use those. Something like a regular Rainbird pop-up would take a lot more chewing on the upper "ring" part without causing the same issues and the head itself would be recessed so not something likely to be damaged as bad as the rotors (which I think stick up just a bit, right?).

    They're flush when they go down. He chews on them when the water is on. It's a game for him. He loves water.

    Based on what he's done to the stainless, the plastic heads wouldn't last long.

    I've started training the dog to leave them alone. He did better tonight.

    Not rotator. Youd need to go to a commercial, Toro makes an ss t5
