5.0 out of 5 stars A great sprinkler for large areas, November 5, 2004

This review is from: Gilmour 998FB Extra Large Coverage Pulsating Sprinkler (Lawn & Patio)

This is the only sprinkler I have found that is adequate for my front lawn. It covers about 100 foot diameter with enough water flow so I don't have to water for hours on end.

Before purchasing this sprinkler, make sure you have a good water source and are using the proper hoses. The instructions say to use maximum hose length of 100 foot of 5/8". I am using two Apex commercial-quality 5/8" 75 foot hoses (150 foot total)with metal fittings and my pump has a feed pressure of 48 psi when running the sprinkler. Works great! If you have low water pressure or inadequate hose then buy a lower-capacity sprinkler.

This review is from: Gilmour 998FB Extra Large Coverage Pulsating Sprinkler (Lawn & Patio)

We have two Gilmour sprinklers, 998FB and 998ZS. Both have the same problem. They get stuck at one end of the range of coverage if water pressure is not at its peak. If you do not have consistently high pressure you might want to try another model.
