sprinkler problem
I have several sprinklers (photo link below). They have two kinds of
problem. Some of them, after having spinning for months, suddenly stop spinning. They stay at a fixed position and flood the place where the nozzle is pointing to. This happens when the sprinkler is set to spin 360 degree. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with water pressure. The other problem is that when the sprinkler is set to spin for a certain degree, say, 180, it would spin to one end and be stuck there. It is supposed to spin to one end, reverse and return to the other end, back and forth indefinitely. But no. It would not reverse. How exactly does the reverse mechanism work? I can' figure it out. The downward clip is flipped, which, if works normally, should somehow make the sprinkler reverse its direction. Some of the sprinklers just would not reverse. If I manually turn the sprinkler to the other end and release it. It would spin to the same end and be stuck there, though the downward clip is flipped. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=...AAAAAdAAAAABAU |

Get a Hunter sprinkler. I sure didn't think you could buy one for under 5 bucks ! https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop...ulse-sprinkler John T. |

Since several have the problem, It is likely a pressure problem. If they are all on one valve, try removing one and capping the pipe to reduce flow requirement and see if the others then work right. |
