    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.)

    • @SilverCymbal
      @SilverCymbal  Před 4 lety +2

      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.

    • @Andrew-co6wn
      @Andrew-co6wn Před rokem

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • @SilverCymbal
      @SilverCymbal  Před 5 lety +3

      @barbadosphilip Před 4 lety +3

      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.

    • @patdthomas
      @patdthomas Před 3 lety +4

      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.
