This review is from: Gilmour 196SPB Pattern Master Impulse Sprinkler on Polymer Sled Base (Lawn & Patio)
Gilmore sprinkler gives you a lot of control of how far the water shoots and the shape of the circle. I have been using it now for two weeks, and I am very pleased with its performance. This is my first sprinkler of this type so I got a bit soaked figuring out how to set it up exactly as I wanted, so I am adding detailed instructions and photos of the controls. My goal was to set up a 220 degree semi-circle, leaving a small wedge where I can exit the basement and approach the sprinkler without getting soaked. The distance of how the sprinkler head rotates to the left or the right is control by two red levers around the head. The lever on the RIGHT hand side control how far the head rotates to the LEFT, and the lever on the LEFT hand side controls how far the head rotates to the RIGHT. (see photo) The distance of how far the spray shoots is controlled by a red ring which pushes on the back of the head. The higher the ring is lifted the shorter is the spray, when the ring is at its lowest the water shoots the furthers away. How high the ring is lifted is controlled by the pegs that you can reach beneath the sprinkler (see photo of the sprinkler upside down). When you push on the pegs from below they raise the ring. When you push on the ring from above, you lower the ring. You can control each individual peg, so you have a lot of control and can create a pretty intricate shape for your watering needs. If you need to the sprinkler to make 360 circle, you need to pull the medal clip towards you. The sprinkler comes assembled with female hose-end connector with shut-off valve and male hose-end adapter. For some reason the sprinkler's shut-off valve does not want to stay facing up, so I found it easier to turn the sprinkler on and off using the shut-off valve on the spigot. I have been watering the newly planted lawn twice a day. The sprinkler is working very well. I am pleased with precision of the watering I was able to achieve avoiding various areas that should not get wet yet getting water to everything I wanted to water. Updated 10/13/11 After 4.5 months of twice a day daily use the sprinkler was still going strong when I packed it up for the winter. I am still very pleased with it.

Best Sprinkler Ever,

I have purchased many sprinklers over the past 40 years. This sprinkler is the best engineered sprinkler I have ever seen! I have an irregular shaped yard and waste many gallons of water sprinkling the lawn. With this sprinkler and the numerous distance adjustments it offers I will no longer waste water on the driveway or sidewalk. I would gladly recommend the sprinkler to anyone considering the purchase of a new sprinkler!

What a sprinkler!,

This review is from: Gilmour 196SPB Pattern Master Impulse Sprinkler on Polymer Sled Base (Lawn & Patio)
I have a large back yard and I have had problems trying to find a sprinkler that could reach every where with out having to keep going outside and moving it. I don't know the exact measurement of my yard, but it's large enough to put another house back there! I'm now able to water from front to back or just half the yard! One important thing I suggest is make sure you read the directions! It tells you how to make the adjustments for distance by pushing "up" or "down" on the red flat part. I also like the ability to be able to decrease the distance or just water half the yard if I want! I can't believe how little I paid for this sprinkler!
