I'm told that the old heads do not disperse water evenly whereas the new system designed does and hence efficiency and saving. What I wonder is if contracted how long does it take to get your pay back on this investment. If the process was as simple as replacing a head, I would try it but you probably need to relocate heads, add some ,etc and a simple DIY for a guy like me gets a little complicated. Perhaps I am making too much of it??
I need to talk to my DIY brother
