1,225 sq. ft. 8-Pattern Stationary Sprinkler

A:  I clicked on this by mistake. Most stores seem to be out of this item, probably because it is a great sprinkler and the excessive heat wave we are in. I had to buy mine online.

A:  These availability type questions would be best posed to the local Home Depot location directly.

A:  Same issue, with 2 different ones, different stores & batch #s. 75% of the water shoots straight up in a spike; only 25% goes out to where it's needed. And it shoots so high up that the slightest wind it sends water where you didn't want it. Bad design!

A:  All of the different patterns I have used worked well and do no recall any shooting straight up

A:  Mine does the same thing with the 90-degree (or 1/4 circle). I use the half rectangle instead.

A:  I would say on the quarter that would be normal because your trying to squeeze all the water through a small opening and it’s best to make sure its not plug with grass. Mine has plugged after a fresh mow and I’m dragging it around

A:  The sprinkler does not always work in the pattern described in the instructions I have found. If you are not pleased with how it performs you can return it to the store for a refund or exchange.

A:  I didn't have to remove anything.

A:  If you are referring to the clip that holds the dial in place, no. Mine came ready to use. Just hook up the hose, dial the pattern you want, and adjust the water pressure to cover the area you want.

A:  dont know..most likely yes

A:  Nothing should be removed before use.

A:  The plastic disk is a little hard to rotate but it will cede with a bit of force.

A:  This sprinkler does not rotate.

A:  Turn the green dial to select the pattern before you turn on the water to the sprinkler unit. When the water is flowing to the sprinkler, the dial will not turn. The hose can be attached to the unit with the water turned off and will not affect your ability to turn the dial.

A:  The only way I know to adjust it is to see what it does with the water running, if it's not what you want, turn the water off and adjust. You may have to do this more than once. I'm not certain what you mean by rotate. Mine is set to cover my whole space without rotating - this is very easy with the controls on this sprinkler. So it doesn't need to rotate - maybe this sprinkler doesn't actually have that option because it doesn't really need it.

A:  Before turning on water rotate it by gripping the outer ring and twisting.
