    I just came across the Orbit sprinkler the other day and love it too! I was previously using the impact sprinkler head type and enjoy the sound it makes, but I would always get wet fine tuning the adjustments. Always! The Orbit head is easy to adjust and its multiple settings are a huge advantage over the impact sprinkler. Eventually I'll Daisy chain two Orbits together and keep the impact sprinkler to hear the sound it makes if hanging out in the back yard. 😁

      red, you are an extreme outlier. On the lawn forums people who water every day almost always write in asking whey they have fungal diseases. You may have a soil with much less clay and more sand/gravel than the average person.

    I’m jealous. Just laid sod and have like 10 of these. My water pressure must be really low compared to yours. These sprinklers just laugh at me and not only does the spray only go about 10 ft these stop turning because lack of pressure I’m assuming. I’m having to still try and manually spray all my sod to protect my investment.

    I just bought the Orbit Tripod and unless I push the pink up, it doesn't move side to side but stays in one position. So, I'll probably return it and buy one of these smaller models which seems to oscillate much better.

    I just got this sprinkler and I may be overlooking something, but with mine the hose attaches under the point where the water sprays out, which makes adjusting it on the fly while it is running basically impossible. I can't determine how to re-orient things so it resembles the setup in this video., with the hose attaching behind the direction of spray.

    5:00 You might want to stop giving advice in this area. The necessity of fertilizing depends entirely of the health of the soil. Watering and cutting alone ARE NOT the only answer. Without a doubt a soil test should be performed on any yard to at least ensure balance of macro and pH. ESPECIALLY if you water with hard water or highly chlorinated water.
