What type of sprinkler head puts out the most water is flood or bubbler head and rotor heads with high flow nozzles, but among standard lawn sprinkler heads, impact rotor heads and large area gear driven rotor heads put out most water per minute compared to spray heads. Rotor heads typically have flow rates of 2 to 10 gallons per minute depending on nozzle and pressure, covering large radius of 20 to 50 feet, while fixed spray heads put out 1 to 5 gallons per minute but over small radius, so they have higher precipitation rate per square foot. Flood bubbler heads put out large volume at low height for trees and shrubs, up to 2 gallons per minute in small area. Impact sprinklers used in agriculture put out most water overall, up to 10 to 20 gallons per minute. So if asking most water per minute total, large rotor and impact sprinklers put out most, but if asking most water per square foot per hour, fixed spray heads have highest precipitation rate and can cause runoff if run too long.
