Gilmour Extra Large Coverage Impulse Sprinkler 998ZS Review

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.

Pros:

1.Largest coverage I've seen so far.It doesn't quite cover what they claim, but it is by far the largest coverage of any sprinkler I have.
2.Very even coverage.I've put rain gauges in various places, and the watering is pretty even no matter how close or far away you measure it.
3.Fast watering.My measuring was about 0.25 inches per hour.

Cons:

1.Requires high water pressure and very high GPM to work correctly.If not, your coverage will be poor, or it will stop turning all together.I had to modify my plumbing to handle this (which was for the better anyway).

Gilmour Five Pattern Turret Sprinkler 775 Teal Review

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.

The only issue with this one seems to be that it starts to leak profusely after a while because the internal water connection becomes loose.It can easily be repaired as follows:

1.Remove the single screw from the bottom and lift off the rotating top.
2.Pull out the round water transfer fitting on the base (identifiable by the small rubber O-ring).
3.Remove the metal spring washer, which has probably become flattened out over time.
4.Bend the spring washer into a more warped shape.It's best to bend it in thirds rather than in half.
5.Put spring washer back on and reassemble the way it came apart.

I intend to get another one of these for my other hose.Very handy.

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.

Gilmour Metal Impulse Sprinkler on Zinc Sled Base 967ZD Review

I bought one in 2006 and it still works great....I just ordered another one so I would not have to take the one I have off one hose and move it to another hose....I leave my hoses and sprinklers outside all year. ( I live in Zone 8) ... I bought the plastic impulse Gilmour with the timer earlier this year but it moves too fast and I loose too much water to evaporation, it has always looked like it would break easily.

Nelson Cast Iron Square Spray Pattern Stationary Sprinkler Head 50951 Review

I love this little sprinkler. With our community's 60 pound water pressure it covers a decent sized area. It throws pretty large drops so the water falls back onto the lawn instead of blowing or evaporating away. And it doesn't take long to saturate an area.

I did notice that since it has such a low profile, longer blades of grass next to it can get caught in the flow and interfere with the spray pattern. I just pluck them out of the way before I turn on the sprinkler. I'm not sure the pattern is all that sharp of a square, but it is square-ish, and that's good enough in our yard.

I think it's a great sprinkler for kids to play in. It has no moving parts to break and no sharp edges to step on. And the flow can be adjusted downward until it's a gentle bubbler. It is cast iron and weighs a pound or two, so it could be painful if one of the kids decides to swing it around on the end of the hose like a mace. Other than that it should be great for play on a hot summer afternoon.

The sprinkler technology here is vintage and bone simple -- it's a cast iron chamber with a little hole in the top. There's nothing to fail or break. With a little care -- very little -- it will last for years and years. You might want to smear a little grease in the threads to keep them from rusting, and occasionally remove it from the hose end to keep the two from rusting together. Every few years a spritz of spray paint will keep it looking like new.

Nelson Turbo-Heart 18-Jet Oscillating Sprinkler with 3,250 Square-Foot Coverage 50915 Review

I bought three of these sprinklers to water our yard which we had just seeded (just slightly less than an acre).

At first I was impressed by the adjustability of the sweep area, although there is no adjustment for the width of the fan size.This must be done by water pressure alone.After a short period however, the adjustment for sweep area became more difficult.I suspect that it was from dirt getting in the mechanism.

The first one had the hose connection fail.It seems that this is a weak link for nearly all sprinklers.It breaks off immediately behind the hose connection point.

The other two quit oscillating after less than a weeks worth of use.It seems that the "turbo Heart" is heartless.On one of them, the screw that holds the oscillating mechanism to the rotating "heart" started to back out (I thought that was causing the oscillating failure) but even after re-tightening the screw it still did not oscillate properly.After a short period of time, both of them started to stall in one position, which would cause them to flood out my new lawn seed.

Not sure if ANYONE makes a decent oscillating sprinkler based on other reviews.

Gilmour Telescoping High Rise Sprinkler 894 Review

Having seen similar items locally (but at a much higher price), I couldn't resist the price Amazon offered, and sure enough a couple days later a rather large box was on my doorstep.When I opened it up, I saw what appeared to be a bit smaller and lighter weight than I imagined (though consistent with the facts provided), but I quickly expanded the telescoping shaft and staked it into the ground.Many other sprinklers fail to deliver the promised range, so I was surprised to find it exceed the stated coverage area (quickly fixed by dialing down the spigot).

All things considered, I'm very happy with this sprinkler, and I'm sure it will get the job done in the garden this summer.I docked it a star for being rather lightly built (no issues thus far).

Raindrip R559DP Automatic Drip Watering Kit Review

OK first the pros, this will save you a lot of time compared with the "pull out the hose and spray it around" method. A lot of time. And your patio plants will love you for it too--I grow tomatoes, herbs, and flowers on my patio and all my little ones produced much better when I got this (with less water waste).

The downside... The attachment from the spigot to the machine always leaked. I couldnt' get it to fit perfectly right, despite trying everything in the manual. It would be really nice if they also included a rubber tube or something to fit over the threads and the end of the tube that attaches to the spigot to make sure nothing leaks.
The machine itself also conked out after about a year...I changed the battery and everything, but it never worked right again. I did buy another, but if there was another option out there I probably would have gone with a different brand.

We purchased this product from Walmart. It has a good span, but it only oscillated for one day and how remains permanently stuck in one position, or will only oscillate to one side.
