Like others have said, this is probably the most informative video I've seen on sprinkler adjustments -- and the first one ever that revealed the ability to swap out nozzles! I never knew that and have worked on my own sprinkler systems before. Kudos on the video, Silver Cymbal!
(As the "Professor" mentioned below, very good instructional technique - good verbal information with synchronized visual explanation. As a DIYer, I especially appreciated the little PVC mock-up stand you put together to show a rotor head in a working, out-of-the-ground demonstration for clarity. That was an extra step and bit of effort you went to, that was appreciated.)
Very kind of you. I felt the same when someone finally shared these with me too. These make all the difference on having your system tuned for your yard.
It should be said that the ability to swap the nozzle should be thought out prior to doing so. 90% of the people watching this wont have the water pressure through the city to throw 5.0 GPM nozzles in multiple heads on one zone without the zone tanking from low water pressure.
Very well done and informative. I have had a system for years and am just now starting to replace some of my Hunter PGP rotors. I needed a good tutorial and thank you for providing it.
You are one of the best video teachers out there, all subjects. Very few people would take the time to assemble an above-ground sprinkler as you did, solely for delivering a 100% clear video on the topic. And you stick to the point. Thank you for this great video series.
I really appreciate the very nice comment! Thank you for saying this and watching my videos.
Unless I missed, you should also show how to adjust the turning pattern, I’m waiting for that mahalo
@@SilverCymbal wich brand of sprinkler you recommend
They are secrets to me! As a retired college professor, I must compliment you on your excellent instructional video. You're a master teacher!
Excellent Video, Having the sprinkler attached to a base platform was excellent to see all parts of the sprinkler up close. Your video was not jumping around and easy to view. Excellent precise instructions, good clear voice and sound quality and no background wind noise or music. I am going out right now and change a flow nozzle. Thanks so much for your time and effort to produce a top-notch video.
This is the absolute best video I have watched regarding sprinkler heads. Thank you for providing this information. So thrilled that the amount of water flow can be adjusted simply by changing one tiny part of the sprinkler head. Very interesting.
Thank you so much.. Some one gave me a set of sprinkler heads and i had no idea how to control the distance. I searched and searched for almost 2 full hours and finally gave up. Then your video shows up. It is very well documented, detailed and answered all my questions. !! Many thanks
AMAZING video! I just got a sprinkler system and all these little tricks are just fantastic. I cant wait to perfect each sprinkler to the max.
Learning about the clip holder was great! Many times I tried holding the nosebleed head to make the adjustments! Both hands
free is very wonderful!
Great, understandable explanation. I had my lawn and sprinkler system redone last October so of course I didn't find out the sprinkler system wasn't covering the entire lawn until now. I've been researching how to fix this and you had the answer. I just need to get one of those adjustment tools. Thanks!
Glad it helps. Mine was the same for years and installers don’t want to deal with tuning the system they just tell you to run it longer until you go bankrupt. Thanks for the nice comment and for watching
I think some people get intimidated by in-ground sprinkler systems. They are very easy to work on and adjust. Thank you for putting together these type of videos!
Thank you very much
Outstanding instructional video! I had no idea the sprinklers could be adjusted or the nozzle changed. Now I can do this myself instead of hiring someone which is very expensive. I really appreciate you sharing this video :)
What a useful video! Very informative. Also inspiring. Thanks very much.
Thank you.... never realized the nozzles could be switched out? Unreal. Probably just saved me a few hundred bucks to fix several problem issues with my system. Keep up the great content.
This video has improved my watering so much. Thank you for doing this video on how to improve the sprinkler head
Getting ready to make your pvc sprinkler watering base. Great videos, learning alot. Thanks.
Finally, thank you for this video
I'm so happy I subscribed to your channel. I'm learning so much!
Thank you very much for the nice comment!
This is excellent info on adjusting water flow that most videos do not cover. Easy fixes. Great work!
Thank you! I wondered if that key thing was to adjust the sprinkler heads! I had found it inside the sprinkler control box, which I can’t get working correctly, but I watched your video anyway and learned a valuable tip!
Thank you so much for the tip this explanation will help me with the problems that I have on my yard!
Very informative.. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!

Thanks silver I had no idea that the number on the nozzle corresponded to gal/min.
Thank you I appreciate that
I did not know about the nozzles, that they can be replaced. I have a few sprinklers that need this. I thought I was going to have to replace the sprinklers, again, but now I won’t. Thank you.
So glad it was helpful

Wow
Had no idea it could be that simple
Thanks
Thank you very much
Thanks. Now I understand picking (and installing) the correct nozzle. I needed that.
Just remember that picking it out is not as easy as shown. The nozzle fits pretty tightly. Picking it out will destroy the nozzle, better to release the retaining screw and turn the water on. The nozzle will just shoot out.
great basic information about the sprinkler system... thanks
Very educational, thank you!
hi there well that was interesting tip I got a very large lawn about 15 metre across I only got thos brass head metal
got to many of them not getting high pressure
I hope this will work for me thank you my friend cheers
A picture and word perfect instructional video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the nice words
Great video, very informative. I would like to learn how to control the watering angle of the sprinkler. I mean 45, 90, 180 and the full circle
With the sprinklers running, take that white adjustment key and stick the plastic end of it into the hole with the plus and minus signs and turn it until you feel it engaging. Hold the running sprinkler head with your left hand and turn the key either to the left (-) or right (+). This will either decrease or increase the lateral swing of the head. With most brands, the right swing remains the same while the left is what the key adjusts. If the right swing needs adjusting, do that first. Grab a pair of channel lock pliers and turn the whole head so it's right swing stops where you want it. Don't grip it too tight because it's only plastic and can crack. Once the right swing has been set, use the key to make adjustments to the left swing.
Thank you - very well done.
Good info !
Thanks for explaining the instructions by making a video. I guess folks will watch this instead of reading the instructions👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

thank you
