Difference Between Impact Sprinkler And Gear-Driven Rotary Sprinkler

Rotary sprinklers are driven by internal gears that disperse the water exactly where you want it in the desired volume. For this reason rotating sprinklers are usually the best sprinkler for water conservation as a fine tuned sprinkler system can waste very little water. Impact sprinklers cannot be fine tuned as much so they tend to use more water to cover the same area, however an impact sprinkler can usually cover more area than a single rotor sprinkler head.
