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

I've had this for one season so far, and this sprinkler works well. I've tried many sprinklers to find one that covers enough of my lawn to not make watering a pain, and this is finally it.

Pros:

1. Largest coverage I've seen so far. It doesn't quite cover what they claim, but it is by far the largest coverage of any sprinkler I have.
2. Very even coverage. I've put rain gauges in various places, and the watering is pretty even no matter how close or far away you measure it.
3. Fast watering. My measuring was about 0.25 inches per hour.

Cons:

1. Requires high water pressure and very high GPM to work correctly. If not, your coverage will be poor, or it will stop turning all together. I had to modify my plumbing to handle this (which was for the better anyway).
