How much restriction in water pressure is ther with this, is the pressure flow good enough to use a sprinkler for large grass area?

I noticed none. I ran several sprinklers for a large yard through a single unit, and of course there was some, but no different than without the unit. Running one through the unit, absolutely no drop.

I guess it depends on how small your yard is. I've got a large yard, but am using this sprinkler to water only a 25x50 foot rectangular seedbed. With the sprinkler in the middle of this area, I've got it adjusted so the spray distance varies from about 13 to 25 feet. I think it could service an even smaller area if I turned down the water flow. If your yard is smaller, and is not very irregular in shape, you might want to use a small oscillating sprinkler. Keep in mind that impulse sprayers, like this Gilmour, are designed to shoot water fairly long distances because they aim in one direction at a time. The oscillating sprinklers provide more even coverage for smaller areas.

This is a high quality sprinkler that will meet your needs. I tried it over the "spike" pulse sprinklers that I have used for years and have found it to be flexible and easy to adjust. While you have varying needs, I believe that this sprinkler will meet all of them.

Yes, it is great for 5ft x20 ft and small areas. I miss the timer my old sprinkler had on it.. I like my dramm nozzles too. I have used mine to water a smaller area and was happy.

I love the sprinklers however, I tried this with 3+ of them in-line and the water pressure dropped pretty significantly for all of them. I generally have great water pressure so I think it was just spreading it too thin. I ended up buying a 2 hose adaptor & timer and hooking a max of two sprinklers on each side. Essentially, it's timed so each side fires off at a different time but still accomplished what I was wanting to do.

something is not right with your numbers? If you have 70 psi of pressure, you should be getting more than 6.5 gpm from your spicket. I have 3 of these sprinklers on the same line with only 40psi and 6 gpm from my spicket. The 3 heads I have running cover an area that is 40 feet in length.

It will work to some extent,although this is a very strong pump it still does not generate the pressure that you would get from your regular water spigot on the side or rear of your house.I never tried the pump before to operate a lawn sprinkler so just as an experiment I did.As I said, it did work but the sprinkler worked at about 1/2 to 2/3rds the pressure of your regular spigot So for a smaller area it worked fine but the coverage was not there for a larger area or lawn .You would just have to re-position your sprinkler several more times than the traditional set-up with your house spigot.

This is not a high pressure pump. I run 3 impact sprinklers off of each of my two Wayne 100 pumps. Their performance changes if I run them very far uphill . This is a good pump to move a lot of water , (volume) but not at high pressure. You can find out more info at the Wayne website. They rate it up to 70 psi at less than 10 feet of head. you will want to get familiar with the "head" rating for pumps to help you select a pump for your needs.

dear sir sorry i took time to respond i dont go to email much i can tell you the area i water is 16 ft by 32 feet a veg our water pressure about 25 psi . garden i have not try to water larger area. i think one could water an area 50 ft by 25 ft. this is the about the 3 rd year we have had 2 of these dramm sprinklers. these dramm sprinklers are the best we. have had no trouble out of them they stay outside in garden all year long - no leaking/ no trouble with arm moving side to side. if u wish more info call me four 0 four 276 008three

I don't know for sure, but I don't think I would recommend it. You would probably run the chance of breaking part of the sprinkler system.

We bought 2 of these in summer 2013 and have had no problems. We use to water the grass and with sprinkler.

We have no problems -I got this for my spouse to make it easier with 100' of hose and it works good. However here is a tip lazy people expect it to do all the work and walk away from it, and it gets caught up or kinks the hose etc. Just do not let you trigger nozzle drag in the grass. and it will wind up quickly.

Probably so. I generally use mine in a bed that's a little smaller. But if your water pressure is sufficient, this little sprinkler should work fine -- for a lawn. If you wanted to use it for a garden bed this size, I would caution that larger plants that are nearer the sprinkler will block the sprinkler flow from reaching the farther reaches of the bed. Gardena makes a larger sprinkler that can be adjusted two directions so that it will work well on smaller beds as well as larger. Regardless of which one you choose, you can't go wrong with a Gardena sprinkler. I think they're well worth the extra price up front. (I've used the full sized one for over 10 years. I bought the zoom-max a couple of years ago for some very narrow small beds, and I love it too. There's also one that sprinkles in a circular pattern. I thought it could be adjusted to sprinkle in different sized wedges, but I don't think it will. (At least I can't figure out how to do it.) Nothing wrong quality-wise, but it sprinkles only circles. Hope this is helpful -- good luck!

Absolutely wonderful sprinklers. I have very good pressure where I'm at and I have about a 90 foot diameter of spray. Work very well.

I haven't tried it but I really doubt you can use it to hook up to a sprinkler. There is not enough pressure.

Hi,I'm using the sprinkler now, and it really covers a large area. I think the distance long and wide I gave you is very underestimated - it's probably twice that much with the hose spigot on fully.- Maggie

You would be better served with the Wayne PLS100 irrigation pump. About the same price and for the most part has good reviews. This pump is also listed on Amazon. I agree with Mary Ellen Owensby's comment about the pump probably being too powerful for lawn sprinkling
