Review Gilmour Pattern Master Impulse Sprinkler, Teal #996D / Gilmour 996D:PATTERN MASTER PULSATING SPRINKLER 16-43 ft. radius water coverage Rotation easily adjusts from full to partial Special speed control for even coverage Programming disc easily adjusts Durable fold out steel base 996D PATTERN IMPULSE SPRINKLER No yard too odd for the Pattern Master Pulsating Sprinkler; once it's programmed for a custom watering pattern, it repeats that pattern every time. The Pattern Master is a unique, adjustable sprinkler that waters virtually any shape lawn without wasting water on fences and driveways. This innovative impulse sprinkler waters up to 5,800 square feet and features a 43-foot watering radius. An easy-to-use programming disc adjusts up or down at sixteen positions within a single rotation-cutting the spray short to avoid the flower bed; going a little longer to soak that freshly planted tree; then launching a broad sweep across the far end of the yard so there's no need to relocate the sprinkler down there later. With full rotation control, watering just about any obstacle course of a lawn is possible! The Pattern Master also features an adjust trip-lever and collars for full or partial coverage, a special speed control for even coverage, and a durable sled base for stability. Best of all, its impact-resistant, rustproof polymer construction means the Pattern Master will be around for custom watering applications for years to come. Didn't think a sprinkler could do all that? The Gilmour Pattern Master can! -Brian Olson.

Review LR Nelson Raintrain Traveling Sprinkler #1865 / LR Nelson 1865:While an automatic sprinkling system certainly ensures greener grass and nurtured flowerbeds during the sweltering days of summer, not every household comes equipped with such a system and they can be downright expensive to install. Historically, the alternative to the built-in sprinkler system has involved setting up a hose and sprinkler and then manually relocating the water source to several strategic locations every thirty minutes for several hours. Despite all the detail and time this manual system receives, the sprinkler never quite makes contact with certain patches. Likewise, swamping also occurs at times because homeowners generally have more important things to worry about than whether it is time to switch the sprinkler. Luckily, the folks at LR Nelson are employed to worry about finding comprehensive watering methods for busy homeowners who don't have the means, time, or desire to dig up the yard to install and intricate system of sprinkler pipes. Responsible for a bevy of creative lawn care solutions, the Peoria, Illinois outfit introduce this ingenious Raintrain traveling sprinkler. With a rustproof cast iron construction, the sprinkler waters up to 13, 500 square feet, though covering a lesser area of 11,9000 square feet ensures more effective performance. The sprinkler arms adjust for varied spray patterns and arcs, throwing water from 15 to 56 feet. The sprinkler waters as it travels along a hose on a preset route, much like an electric model train, except with a hose as the rails. To water, the homeowner lays out the hose as desired, taking care to avoid dramatic corners or turnabouts that may result in hose kinks or a derailed sprinkler. [+]A front wheel runs on the hose with the two traction-ready rear wheels bestride. The hose connects to the posterior of the sprinkler. For the best results, LR Nelson recommends a 5/8-inch hose, though a 1/2-inch hose may suffice, up to 200 feet in length. For sprinkling termination, the user places a shut-off ramp on the hose to lift the sprinkler off its "rails," while simultaneous stopping operation. The shut-off ramp should be installed with at least five feet of hose between it and the spigot. The traveling sprinkler operates at two motor speeds, high and low. On high power, the sprinkler travels approximately 37 feet per hour, with a 1/4-inch water application. On low power, the sprinkler moves at a 21 feet per hour rate with a 1/2-inch water application. The simple installation requires no tools. The sprinkler weighs 18. 1 pounds upon shipping. -Jessica Reuling Nelson, 16,000 SQFT Maximum Coverage, Traveling Sprinkler, With Automatic Shut Off Valve, Rust Resistant Cast Iron Body, Durable Brass Hose Connection, Built In Automatic Shut Off, Ramp Can Be Placed Anywhere On Hose, Ramp Trips Lever & Shuts Off Water, Low Speed Transmission, Adjustable Spray Arm With Regular Nozzles, Patented Rear Wheel Cleats, Made In USA.
