Question 1

Sprinkler won't cover a full circle? I purchased one of these, but it won't cover a full circle - seems to leave about a 10 degree area unwatered.

Accepted Answer

Can you make the sprinkler head move 360 degrees by hand? If you look at the sprinkler head is the "stop peg" holding the complete circle? You might have dirt in the head and if you rotate it by hand it should free it up.

Question 2

Is there a place where you can buy replacement nozzles of smaller size. i need to get GPM down a bit to match well

Accepted Answer

If you know of an irrigation supply company they may have them. Unless you get into the really big sprinklers the threads and everything are all the same. The Gilmore nozzles will fit the rainbirds. At least on the ones I have they interchange. I run a gasoline powered pump from the creek an try and put out as much water as possible. That is why I don't like the new rainbirds I bought. They turn entirely to fast. If the cheap plastic sprinlers have a screw in nozzle they will work and are probably a lot smaller. I have one I will try if you want to email me back later at geldreth@charter.net. Hope this helps.

Question 3

How does it preform in low hose pressure?

Accepted Answer

The P5-R Plus model has a total or 5 nozzles so you can change out/customize the nozzle to your water pressure and gallons per minute to provide the best possible spray pattern. This is perfect for low-pressure applications.

Question 4

Does this go right into the ground, or do I need to buy a separate 'stand' for it?  Thank you.

Accepted Answer

you need separate stand for it. I bought "Orbit 1/2-Inch Metal Ring Sprinkler Base 58030" they go well with it. These sprinklers worked well for me, they work the way sprinklers should work easy to adjust the angle and i get good water force (city water). Good luck.
