Is this a joke? Does anybody actually purchase this item at a 500% markup.. they sell for less than $10 everywhere else...
Overall review of 222RC Brass Impulse Sprinkler is good.However, keeping the unit in an up right position when fully functioning is a challenge as well as positioning the flow of the water. Also, the tripod itself is weak and therefore can easily bend out of shape if you are not careful.
It does the job and is much cheaper than having a plumber come out and install a locking faucet.
I've had this for one season so far, and this sprinkler works well.I've tried many sprinklers to find one that covers enough of my lawn to not make watering a pain, and this is finally it.
I have gone through several sets of plastic connectors and finally upgraded to brass. With an occasional washer change this will last forever!
This well manufactured and heavy duty nozzle is a one trick pony, but that one trick is done better than any other nozzle I've ever used. Well worth the money.
While this sprinkler needs sufficent water pressure to function properly, and I've only had it for 2-3 weeks, for the price it is a quality product that is exceedingly better than the $30+ garbage that you will find in Home Depot or Sears. Covers a hude radius. Customer service was excellent, for when I emailed them to try to determine the difference between this model and the model 999TP, they emailed me back the same day and advised that the TP is the same product but is sold to retailers in packages of 6.After reading the negative reviews on the TP model about feet bending, the sprinkler collapsing and disintegrating the first time they used it, I spent the extra $10 to get a second TD1 model, but cannot imagine that happening to either model, even if there is a difference. My only complaint is that the threads on the plastic coupler where you attach the hose can be easily stripped by the metal male end of the hose, so either avoid overtightening the hose or buy a plastic adapter with a shoutoff valve for $3, the shut-off valve on the adapter comes in handy when you have to move it.A lifetime replacement guarantee can't hurt, either.
I have been using this for a year for spot watering dry places in my yard.It's especially useful for small areas and it is much better than the Nelson equivalent which has serious uniformity problems.
works ok, very difficult to set time if you lose directions, i'd never buy again. human interface was designed by someone who never had to actually use it.
Pros:
The cheap plastic arm that traces the heart shaped turbo shaft jumps right off and or pops out of the track. This happened within the first 2 hours of use. save your money
I have a bunch of these around my yard.They work great - when the work.You cannot put more than two of them in a series - the water pressure will be too low for more than two of them to work.I bought 4 recently and one was a dud.I bought 6 a few months ago and 2 were duds.Amazon sent me free replacements - thumbs up to Amazon customer service.Overall, I'm happy.Each throws the water about 25 feet max and you can easily set the radius.
Bought the dual one from Lee Valley.So simple, what could go wrong ?Doesn't ever turn the water off, though.It runs until I go out and turn it off manually.I guess the exercise is good for me.....
Brass, Zinc, Stainless Steel whatever If It Is made of rust proof Metal. A few years ago several times during Winter the PVC plastic pipe would freeze and bust plus the high Water pressure would cause the PVC connections to pop off, Then after leaving the Sears rubber hoses outside during the freezing cold I discovered these hoses do Not bust when frozen and are easy to defrost so naturally I replaced all My Water lines with Sears rubber hose but then Wal-Mart built a center a few miles away and new Water lines was put In from Bartlesville to the Wal-Mart center and now We buy Wal-Mart recycled sewer Water so now I buy bottled Water for drinking so I don't get sick the Water bill jumped from around $12.00 to $50.00 a month but they also Increased the pressure so now any type of plastic valve or connector will break then the Water bill Is $100.00 a month I have a well but I need a $400.00 pump I tried to get My southern Baptist relatives that don't Read well enough to Understand The Bible so they write their own books they Sound just like that YouTube sheeple of America video to spit the cost of the pump but they said we don't want to use that Iron well Water but It worked grate years ago other than having a little Iron In the Water. So anyway If You have super high Water pressure and don't want to pay a $100.00 Water bill this Is what to get.
This is a great product. I like the black and dark green so it doesn't show.
When I ordered this part, I also ordered the Air Locker H581 steel hose clamps.These are small parts, no bigger or heavier than a U.S. quarter.They were sent together in a 4" X 6" padded envelope via USPS with a postage charge of $1.22 printed on the label.However, a separate shipping and handling fee was charged for EACH part.So I paid $3.05 to ship the Barb Adapter and an additional #3.05 to ship the hose clamps.That a bit excessive, don't you think?
My hands get COLD in the winter so the rubber handle on this nozzle is a life saver for me... no more gripping cold metal with wet hands in 40-degree temperatures.The o-ring that keeps these from leaking sometimes comes loose and water leaks from the base, but that's because I am constantly taking the nozzle on and off... it's bound to leak sometime.This is a 3-pack.It wasn't labled as such when I bought it.
swift delivery - this was a gift for an out of state relative so I don't know how well it works
I purchased this because of a neighbor's recommendation.I live in a townhouse/condo profile, and our residents try to water the common areas that are near our units.This is a remarkable sprinkler, with your complete ability to program it for time and for distance covered. In fact, I went and bought a second one so I can cover the front and the back lawn areas.
Call me stupid, but I've purchased this item at least 4 times in the last 3-4 years and every single one has filled with water and stopped working.Do NOT waste your hard-earned cash on this joke of a product.It should be taken off the market IMMEDIATELY or a class-action lawsuit filed!!!
