Spray patterns are the shapes and distributions of water as it comes out of your hose nozzle, sprinkler, or watering tool. The right spray pattern ensures that water is applied evenly and in the right amount for your specific plants or lawn.

Not all plants require the same amount of water, and some are more sensitive to the force of water than others. Choosing the correct spray pattern not only helps conserve water but also protects your plants from overwatering, underwatering, and damage caused by improper water flow.
When deciding which spray pattern to use, you need to consider the type of plants, the size of the area being watered, and the season. Sunshine offers a wide range of watering tools, each with multiple spray settings to suit different gardening needs. Let’s explore the various spray patterns and when to use them.
