Good morning. Is it OK to replace one pop-up, with a rotor on a zone that currently has 4-5 pop-ups? It's a pump-driven system.

Thanks!
 
As long as you understand that most rotors have a maximum "gallon per minute" sizing, so unless watched carefully, you may end up with dead spots from lack of water, or missing areas because they are not getting water if out of range of the arc.
 
Thanks for the reply! I'll keep an eye on the coverage. I imagine I can do some "balancing" between heads to improve any weak areas.
