Rainbird sprinkler nozzles - where to buy them?

I thought there was a rainbird dealer in west Ajijic, mountainside, past Casa de Waffle,  if I recall close to Aceros Ocotlan

He is (as you said) just past Casa de Waffle. Immediately west of the Autobody Shop as the parking lot ends. I believe the sign says Garden Centre. You have to ask at the counter for the parts and they will order for you if they don't have what you need.

The hard water is brutal on the sprinkler heads and I did have some success soaking them in vinegar. The ones that have been whipped to death by string trimmers have to be replaced.

Ferret, I love the "whipped to death" comment as it is for sure true. However I just seen a  recent solution to the whipping. Around each sprinkler head was installed a piece of 3 inch PVC pipe where the head is protected against the wicked whipper and lawn mower where the gardener does not see the head. Simple, cheap and effective. Each piece of PVC #40 might be no more then 4 inches, 2 or 3 below ground, I inch above. Good luck
