Tripod Zinc Impact Sprinkler, Adjustable Height - 56667

This work horse of a sprinkler gets the job done. I left on vacation in July during heat warnings and nothing died. I was concerned it would not be heavy duty enough to keep from falling over in a storm but it has done great. Right out of the box the legs easily telescoped for set up. I do wish it could go a little higher as it comes to my upper leg and I am 5' 2" with short legs lol. The distance it covers is incredible as I have a huge garden with lots of raised beds and I also needed to get my in ground potato patch. It can spin 360 degrees, but the water distribution is different than when you are using the easy metal clips to adjust the direction. It is limited ever so slightly by the size of the clips and it could be my user error that's messing that up maybe not the design. Adjustability is important in the garden. This may be more designed for a lawn to cover alot of territory, but it worked well and my plants survived. You cannot tell there is any plastic material because it is so sturdy. I had my eye on one of these for a long time and finally decided to invest in a more heavy duty sprinkler like this and that is well worth the money.

Arrived on time.

It works great and covers a large area. Covering a large area means less water per square foot. I put out measuring cups. It took 2 hours to reach 0.5 inches. I have good water pressure. Another problem is that round is a hard shape to work with if you want to water all of your yard, unless you have a round yard. It works great. I wouldn't buy it again. I'm not sure how much I'll use it. I may stick with my rectangular sprinklers.

I have never tried using a rotating sprinkler head before & live the way it works & spreads the distribution of water & how far it sprays best v investment I have ever made.

I've been using this daily now for 3 weeks and have no complaints. It was easy to set up. The water flow and distribution is really good. I bought a couple similar sprinklers at the same time--the kind with a peg you push into the ground, but this one has much better coverage. I wish I had bought another one of these instead. Maybe it's the elevation of the tripod that gives better coverage, but whatever the reason, I'm much happier with this one. The tripod is very stable, and I haven't had to adjust the settings.

Tip over easily with only moderate water pressure. Also after only a few uses, the bushings where the water hose connects to the sprinkler piping are leaking. They will soon completely fail, the whole sprinkler system useless. I would return them, but my 30 day return window just expired. I really expected better quality from Orbit. Will never buy one of their products again.

Designed for dependability, impact heads have an uninterrupted water flow that is clog-resistant, even when used with dirty or reclaimed water from ponds and canals. Attached to an adjustable tripod, this sprinkler sprays up to a 90-foot diameter. Easily adjust the coverage from a partial section to a full circle. Features a deflector shield for distance adjustment and an anti-backsplash arm to aid in spray pattern and area coverage. A simple twist of the diffuser screw breaks up the water stream, creating larger or smaller water droplets. The tripod base adjusts from 22 to 48 inches in height and retracts to a small size for easy storage. The base connects easily to a 3/4-inch standard garden hose by a gooseneck attachment. The all-metal construction means it will hold up against the typical wear and tear that most impact sprinklers experience, giving you years of dependable use.

UPDATE 7/12/16 I am updating this review after approximately three months of use. I ordered this sprinkler in September 2015, so I only used initially for a month at the time of my original review. The sprinkler head finally stopped working in late June 2016, after less than two additional months of use. My original rating was 4 stars, but I have dropped to 3 Stars based on the short life span. Admittedly, my application is a bit tougher on sprinkler heads than typical users irrigating from a municipal water supply, so I don’t want to be overly harsh with my rating. Orbit now makes a similar tripod sprinkler with a brass head, which at the time of this review is exactly the same price on Amazon as the Zinc model. I would recommend trying the brass model instead of this zinc model, which should more accurately be described as Chinese pot metal. The Orbit adjustable tripod actually works great, so this purchase was not a complete burst. In fact, I highly recommend the following model found on Amazon as a replacement head to use on this tripod - “Rain Bird 25PJDAC Brass Impact Sprinkler, Adjustable 0° to 360° Pattern, 20' - 41' Spray Distance”. The Rain Bird replacement is the highest quality sprinkler I have found in a very long time (no Chinese pot metal here), and it handles dirty source water better than any impact head I have ever tried. Read further for specific details of the Orbit Zinc tripod Sprinkler. FUNCTION – 4.0 Stars The Orbit Impact sprinkler worked fairly well (while it lasted), and the radius is pretty close to the stated specs. I use a well pump to draw irrigation water from a shallow lake behind my house, and I have purchased cheaper impact sprinklers before that would not work at all. This sprinkler cycles much faster than previous impact sprinklers I have used, which probably works better from an irrigation efficiency standpoint, but it makes walking past the sprinkler (while it is spraying the other direction) a difficult feat without getting wet. There is a screw that can be adjusted into the stream to create a coarser spray pattern and limit the spray radius. A small metal plate can be swiveled to limit spray radius as well, but it is much different than the typical top mounted adjustment designs of traditional impact sprinklers. The traditional design (that is adjusted by a knob on top of the head) is simpler to adjust than the side-mounted swivel plate on this model. Note – the adjustment stops on the Rainbird are much easier to adjust, and it is capable of true 360 degree operation (which the Orbit is not). TRIPOD – 4.5 STARS I have some steeper areas on my property, so I thought the Tripod might be useful for set up, but I found that it tips over fairly easily if I don't get it set up just right (on slopes). (I have no problems with it tipping when set up on flatter surfaces). This feature is handy for gardens and landscaping, though, and the legs adjust easily. I also found that the legs need to be extended at least somewhat, or the water hose kinks at the hose connection point. Ultimately, the tripod is the most redeeming feature of this model. I actually purchased another identical Orbit tripod (brass head), just because the tripod ultimately works so well with the (much higher quality) Rain Bird replacement head. DURABILITY – 2.0 STARS Durability is always an issue when using surface water instead of city or well, so I am not that surprised that the head lasted less than a growing season. I should have realized this from the start, because the material is cheap Chinese pot metal. The adjustment springs for the stops are a bit flimsy, and are a little persnickety as you need both hands free to hold the head and squeeze the spring to adjust the stops. It is also tough to adjust the stops during operation without getting a little wet. My old Ace Hardware impact sprinklers are much simpler in terms of just tapping the stops to make a small adjustment (instead of squeezing a spring). While similar in design, the Rain Bird replacement head stops are also much easier to adjust than the Orbit. In fact, everything on the Rain Bird model puts the Orbit to shame, all the way down to the washers on the fitting. THANKS Thanks for reading my review.

La struttura metallica è robusta. Purtroppo il sistema di bloccaggio delle gambe telescopiche è fragile ed inadeguato. Si sono rotti in breve due dei blocchi.

Very happy with the function, ideal for my sloping block. The only thing letting this product down is the constriction materials used for the legs. They are corroding away under the paint (not anodized) after 3 months of use. This makes it problematic then trying to adjust the leg length. This is the last thing I would have expected from a sprinkler.

I chose this product because it had better reviews for the strength of the tripod than others sold on Amazon. I had bought one sprinkler in which the tripod was so badly made that I was amazed anyone would sell it at all - see my review. The Orbit tripod is a well made product and strong enough for the purpose intended, although stronger ones are available from trade suppliers. The female screw thread in the Orbit tripod is brass, which is much better than the plastic some other products use and doesn't leak. With the legs extended, it doesn't fall over as some reviewers claim. I can't speak for the sprinkler as I use a spinner instead. The spinner is from Darlac and works a treat.

Buena calidad y robusto

Works excellent so far
