Estimated Water and Cost Savings Using Rain Bird® U-Series Nozzles

Use 30% Less Water *

You can confidently expect that when you install patented U-Series nozzles from Rain Bird, the result will be the most uniform water distribution available for spray heads. This is the only plastic nozzle with a dual-orifice design that efficiently delivers superior close-in watering and even water distribution across the entire radius range.

Enter the information from your system below and see how much water you can save:

Calculate your estimated water savings:
Step 1: Enter the watering time: minutes/week
Step 2: Enter the number of watering weeks: weeks/year
Step 3: Enter the spray zone flow at 2,1 bar for all nozzles in the system or zone: cubic meter per hour (m3/h)
   
  Estimated water savings: m3 per year

 

Calculate your estimated water savings:
Step 1: Enter the estimated water savings from above:   m3 per year
Step 2: Enter the unit water cost: $ or other per cubic meter (m3)
Step 3: Enter the difference in cost between standard and U-Series nozzles: $ or other per nozzle
Step 4: Enter the number of nozzles in the system or zone (Be consistent with your entry for Step 3.):   nozzles
     
  Estimated cost savings: $ or other per year*
