I’ve been using 6 of these for the past couple of years. Definitely a great alternative to an in ground sprinkler system. I connect one, set a timer, then move to the next. Takes a while, but beats moving and adjusting a sprinkler every time.

Hey man are you on the BLD Facebook group?

@@1ray917 yeah

Kinda surprised you didn't do an inground system when you tore up the yard after the pool install. The cost would have been insignificant compared to the cost you must have endured with the pool and full sod reno that you did.

[@TheALG]

Probably, at the time, the pool cost was just so overwhelming. I didn't want to shell out any more money. The property is only 0.25 acre, and I feel 6000 sqft of lawn is manageable without a dedicated inground system. You are right though, looking back I could have done this myself easily.

So you still have a hose strewn about the yard? what is the benefit of burying the sprinkler if thats the case?

[@andy_byrd]

Wondering the same thing. Now you can't even move it around to get more areas!

[@TheALG]

Still have to move the hose to the sprinkler but because its stationary, you don't have to adjust it after the first time. The key is to have more than 1 to cover more areas. This works even better if you have a hose timer to come on before the sun comes up.

@@TheALG Can you daisy chain multiple units these together underground? That would provide a big benefit because then you would only need to plug your hose into one place to have multiple sprinklers running..

[@TheALG]

@phidip2328 no and yes. I have 4 zone timers with each going to the different snap n go. I just run the hoses the night before, then pull them back the next morning. The timer starts the watering cycle at 4 a.m., going through all the zones, and it finishes at about 6 am. As for your question, the units will not allow you to hook them up together, or at least I don't see how it os possible.

[@phidip2328]

@@TheALG Ah, so that seems like the way to do it with the timer cycling through multiple hoses. I guess that is the best way to copy the effect of an in-ground irrigation system, but at a much lower cost (and I presume no permit is needed to install this compared to an in-ground system).

What is the biggest diameter a sprinkler head covers?

360 degrees and up to 41 feet depending on water PSI
