I got a couple of quotes for irrigation. One was toro and the other was Hunter what are your thoughts on them.

I have to say I feel the Hunter dealer really knew his shit as he not only checked my pressure but did a dynamic pressure check. The Toro dealer did not.
Also the Hunter dealer says he uses all commercial heads...I-20's, he showed me the difference from the commercial to the residential with the increased spring pressure to the 3 seals and the filter. He also uses a flexible comncetion to each head that will be installed. He also came to my house with a book of his clients with references. I was pretty impressed. He only was 500 bucks more than the Toro dealer. That being said im not a pro with irrigation so I was hoping you all could share your knowledge.
Hunter vs Toro
Either one I go with what should I look for in the products and install.

Forget about the brand. Did they provide a layout?

Yes only 1 of them

Head to head caverage, valve box location, no mix zones into the same area are some of the important stuff to look at.

Thank you from what I saw on the diagram coverage looked good had head to head coverage... he had the middle zones seperate from the sides and the valve boxes seemed to make sense.

I'm assuming that was the Hunter installer. I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't do pressure checks and provide you a layout. And Hunter is a better product generally speaking, but like g man said that should be at the bottom of your list.

If you have concerns, take a picture of the plans and post them.
