    I absolutely love this sprinkler, bought two of them last when I laid bermuda sod down last year. I also got the dual nozzle timer so I can hook them both up and set different timings for different zones of my yard. Works great, I set it and forget it.

    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. 😁

    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 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.
