Your Irrigation company or whomever you use to maintain your system will never recommend this becasue they rely on the constant maintenance work you will pay them for yearly.
First things first, if you get rid of their crappy rotating heads and go to standard Hunter heads, this becomes 1) inexpensive to replace 2) took about 90 minutes to replace 3) takes me 10 minutes every year (if necessary)

So why bother?
