I’ve run sprinklers similar to these for years. Never paid attention to the screw and what it does for the water distribution 😐. Thanks for the tip! Loving your videos.
If I didn't have an in ground irrigation system, I'd be using something similar. I built a couple of sprinkler using PVC and Hunter sprinkler heads for my parents lawn. These type of sprinklers using irrigation heads or spray nozzles are much better suited to cover more distances for the yard and you can change the nozzle to fit the size lawn.
@@PoloFieldsLawnService You won't do too much damage to install the system. Just get a machine to do the trenching work. It will be worth the little bit of damage. Based on what I see, you would have the lawn back to normal in no time. I installed mine in the fall time which gave some recover time and it's going into the winter so the look didn't matter too much. If you let a company do it with the polypipe (funny pipe), the machine would just slice the ground, drop the pipe and cover it with pretty much no sightly damage. The only damage that way will be to your bank account, haha. Do it man, haha.
Yea, I did my own system several years back. Even trenched lines and have some rainbird pop up's. My issue last summer was that $400 dollar water bill, wife ain't having it, LOL. Waiting for some rain tomorrow AM to mix and spray some hydretain,progonzol and azoxystrobin fungicide and just go with twice a week watering to keep that water bill down. I need one of the special water meters just for lawn usage.
😆😆 Gotta monitor that watering. Couple times a week for a green lawn is fine. It's a different story if your lawn has slipped into dormancy and it hasn't rained for weeks. Gotta make a decision, either keep it green or let it go......
Hello Martin, a regular hose will work fine. I've never had a problem with using a long hose. The hose I use to water my test plot is 100 ft and the water pressure is just fine 👍🏾
@@pnkpnthr80 Will do sir, got another one dropping tomorrow. I normally will release a video every Sunday. Well, let's just say that I try my best. Thanks for your Support. It means alot 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hello Quen, it all depends on what type of sprinkler that you have. Some put out more water than others. Your shooting for 1 inch of water per week. For example, if it doesn't rain during the week, I water my lawn on Tuesdays and Saturdays for 50 mins each day in the mornings. That gives me 1 inch of water per week. Hope this helps
I purchased a dual on Tuesday and set it up as you mentioned in the video. It started and went the duration on both ports at the desired time. Then it just started recycling the process over again. I turned the water faucet off. I only wanted 30 minutes on each port and stop for the day. Why didn’t it stop after the first pass?
I think I figured that part out but I found water in the battery case when I removed it. Eventually that is going to cause problems. Also, is there a cover to put the timer in? The sun beams will destroy this gadget.
@@livingmylife24x74 As far as my knowledge, they don't make a cover for the case. I've had mine on my spigot the entire summer and fall and never had any issues each year. If water is leaking from it, check to make sure the component it tighten to the spigot. If it is tighten, make sure the nut behind the handle that turns the water on is tighten as well. Do you still need some assistance on the water timer cycle?
@@PoloFieldsLawnService No I figured it out. I found water in the battery pack when I took it out. Does this device cause pipe issues when it switch from 1 connect to the other? Mine made a rattle, clunky noise when it switched. That’s for responding.

No Problem Mark, that screw really does help vs using the metal flap on the front of the sprinkler. Give it a try next time 👍🏾
Great Video again POLO 👍🏾

Yes Sirrrr, your winning though with the in ground irrigation. I'll get bold enough and tear my lawn up and install me one day 😆

@@Methodical2 I'm wrestling with it man. Let's see how busy I get on these Renovations. If I have time, I'll tackle it.
@@PoloFieldsLawnService I can dig it. You need to have time and focus on the install only once started.
@@Methodical2 I know, we'll see later on this year 👍🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 going to grab a couple more hoses and a timer
Thanks Polo
No Problem Sundromajor. These orbit timers are easy to just set it and forget it.
Great video bro!!!
We HOT and DRY here my man 😓🤦🏻♂️🥵
We FINALLY got 1/2 inch if rain last night. Anything helps cause mist lawns out here is super dry
Well said WELL done 👍
Thank you Freeman 💪🏾
Great tips. I got above ground sprinklers and we've had temps between 90-100 for past 2 weeks with no rain and heat stress is really taking over
Yes it is. Same thing up here. Gotta keep that lawn watered if you can 👍🏾
Nice set up
Thanks Devin 👍🏾

awesome video!! what's your take on the gauge of the hose as well as the length of hose? this question is for anyone who can answer.

@@PoloFieldsLawnService thanks a lot. Keep those videos coming.

Do you have any be reduction in water pressure at your second sprinkler? Nice set up. Thanks
Hello John, if there is any reduction it's not noticeable. In this video, the hoses are 50ft long and seem to be putting out good water to me 👍🏾
Great info polo 👍🏾.. that was awesome thanks bro ✌🏾😎
No Problem Fairway 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
@@PoloFieldsLawnService ✌🏾😎
@@fairwaybermudalawn You got that Bermuda jumping down there man ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
@@PoloFieldsLawnService 👊🏽🤣 polo bro I'm trying i really appreciate it 👊🏽 😎. Thank you
QUESTION: Wish I could get Orbit here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 that’s a great system. Quality products.
When is the best time to water during summer?
I've got a video dropping this Sunday to tell you all about it 👍🏾
@@PoloFieldsLawnService Thankyou
@@craiggillett5985 No Problem Craig
Hi Polo love the demonstration step by step demonstration is very helpful thanks for sharing this video.
No Problem Ms. Tucker. Sometimes those timers can be a little tricky so I had to show that part in detail 😉
I sure had to water 110 with the heat index i have same timer with a spliter on it with impact sprinklers like you
Gotta do what you gotta do boss. It's SMOKING out here
@@PoloFieldsLawnService yes it is we got 3in's of rain last night
@@PoloFieldsLawnService it was well need
@@TerranceSTL That's what we need down here RAINNNNNNN
@@PoloFieldsLawnService I pray you get some

Great video as always Polo!! 💪🏾I actually thought about buying a couple of these yesterday so this video was right on time for me.
That's wassup, these sprinklers and timers are the truth 💪🏾
I have rainbird was the easiest to install
Great choice 👌🏾
Great video bro. That is an excellent alternative and affordable system if you don't have an in ground system 👍💚🦸
Yes sirrrr and this timer and sprinkler is the truth 💪🏾
