Toro 570Z Pro Series Pop-Up Sprinklers

The 570Z Pro Series delivers professional-grade irrigation features that contractors actually want. Zero-Flush seals prevent water waste at startup, and X-Flow technology shuts off flow if a nozzle gets damaged — both patented features that save water and prevent property damage. These aren’t the cheapest pop-ups on the shelf. But for contractors who’ve dealt with callbacks from flooding or uneven coverage, the engineering pays for itself.

Why the 570Z Pro Series Matters

The Zero-Flush seal changes the irrigation math. Traditional pop-ups flush water at startup to clear debris — wasting gallons every cycle and reducing the number of heads you can put on a zone. Toro’s patented seal eliminates this flush-by, letting contractors add more sprinklers per zone without oversizing pipes or pumps.

X-Flow technology provides built-in insurance against damage — if a mower clips a nozzle or kids knock off a head, the shut-off valve prevents water geysering across the property. That’s the difference between a quick nozzle swap and replacing flooded basement carpeting.

The MPR+ (Matched Precipitation Rates) system ensures all patterns within a zone deliver water at the same rate. Mix quarter-circles along sidewalks with full-circles in the lawn center — they’ll all apply water evenly. No more brown edges or swampy spots from mismatched precipitation rates.

Model Configuration and Coverage

Model	Arc Pattern	Radius	Pop-up Height
53711	90° (Quarter)	15 ft	4 inches
53712	360° (Full)	15 ft	4 inches
53813	180° (Half)	15 ft	4 inches
53814	40°-360° (Adjustable)	15 ft	4 inches
53816	0°-360° (Variable)	15 ft	4 inches
53720	0°-360° (Variable)	15 ft	3 inches

All models use 3/4-inch threaded inlets and include filter screens. Nozzles are color-coded (typically black or brown for 15-foot radius) for quick identification during installation and maintenance.

The adjustable models (53814 and variable arc versions) offer flexibility for zones with irregular shapes. The 53814 adjustable model allows 40° to 360° patterns, while the 180° model (53813) is fixed for specific half-circle coverage.

Installation and Maintenance Features

Every 570Z Pro head includes a heavy-duty stainless steel retraction spring — not the cheap springs that rust out after three Montana winters. These springs maintain consistent pop-down performance even after years of mineral buildup from hard water.

The 4-inch pop-up height clears most turf varieties, while the 3/4-inch inlet threads onto standard risers. All heads remain compatible with existing Toro 570 series bodies and shrub adaptors, so contractors can upgrade existing systems one zone at a time without wholesale replacement.

For Montana’s varied elevation zones, the low operating pressure design matters. These heads perform reliably even on systems with marginal pressure — common in mountain communities where water comes from wells or small municipal systems.

Bottom Line

Reviews across retailers average 4.6 to 5.0 stars, with contractors praising durability, spray pattern precision, and ease of installation. The Zero-Flush and X-Flow technologies aren’t marketing fluff — they solve real problems that cause callbacks and property damage.

Skip these if you’re doing basic residential installs where water waste doesn’t matter and the homeowner maintains their own system. For commercial properties, HOA common areas, or anywhere water costs money and flooding means liability, the 570Z Pro Series delivers measurable value. The patented features work as advertised, and the build quality survives Montana’s freeze-thaw cycles better than bargain alternatives.

Rain Bird offers comparable 4-inch pop-ups with similar coverage patterns. But without the Zero-Flush seal or X-Flow shut-off, you’re back to the old problems of startup waste and damage-related flooding. For contractors who value their reputation and hate callbacks, the premium pays for itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes Toro 570Z Pro Series different from standard pop-up sprinklers?

The Toro 570Z Pro Series features patented Zero-Flush seal technology that eliminates water waste at startup and X-Flow technology that automatically shuts off water flow if the nozzle is damaged or removed. These 4-inch pop-ups also include heavy-duty stainless steel retraction springs and MPR+ (Matched Precipitation Rates) that ensure even water distribution across all spray patterns within the same zone.

Q: How much area does the Toro 570Z cover and what patterns are available?

All Toro 570Z Pro Series models cover a 15-foot radius with various arc patterns including 90° quarter-circle (53711), 180° half-circle (53813), 360° full-circle (53712), and adjustable models like the 53814 that ranges from 40° to 360°. The consistent 15-foot throw across all patterns allows mixing different arcs in the same zone while maintaining matched precipitation rates.

Q: Will Toro 570Z heads fit my existing irrigation system?

Yes, Toro 570Z Pro Series heads use standard 3/4-inch threaded inlets and are fully compatible with all Toro 570 series spray heads and shrub adaptors. The 4-inch pop-up height works with most turf varieties, and the low operating pressure design performs reliably even on systems with marginal water pressure common in mountain communities.

Q: How long do Toro pop-up sprinklers typically last?

According to user feedback, Toro 4-inch pop-up sprinklers typically last about 12 years, though some heads may eventually fail or become clogged requiring replacement. The 570Z Pro Series includes heavy-duty stainless steel retraction springs designed to maintain consistent pop-down performance even after years of mineral buildup from hard water.

Q: What’s included with each Toro 570Z sprinkler head?

Each Toro 570Z Pro Series sprinkler includes the pop-up spray head body, a 15-foot radius nozzle in your chosen pattern (quarter, half, full, or adjustable), and a filter screen that comes standard with all Toro 570Z series nozzles. The nozzles are color-coded (typically black or brown for 15-foot radius) for easy identification during installation.
