Don’t let that put you off though. With the tap turned fully open, and as long as your home’s water pressure isn’t terrible, you will get a decent spray in a circular pattern. Unfortunately, it doesn’t spin that well with the tap turned right down, and wouldn’t be the best choice for smaller gardens. For gardener’s who struggle with the constant battle of sprinkler vs. water pressure, Claber’s rotating Idrojet 2000is one of the most reliable and best oscillating sprinklers to use in low-pressure areas. Overall, though, this is a decent, compact, sprinkler that will still work with low water pressure and gives you a ton of different options when it comes to spraying patterns, making it ideal for smaller gardens.

Personally, I prefer to opt for metal whenever possible, and that’s why I would go with either the Orbit travelling sprinkler or the Aqua Joe oscillating sprinkler if it only came down to durability. Either that or something heavy duty like this. Types of sprinklers The four settings (circular, semi-circular, square or rectangular spray pattern) are easily changed with a twist of the bright orange dial at the head. If you’ve got enough pressure this sprinkler will reach a range of 20m, either side, and even at a relatively lowly two bar of pressure you should reach up to 16m away. With a maximum coverage of 320m, it’s a great choice for keeping larger gardens watered.Unless you have a large garden, you may find that a rotary sprinkler wastes water, watering fences or even your neighbour’s garden. Rectangular Oscillating Sprinkler For most sprinklers to work effectively, you will need at least 4 bar water pressure. If your water pressure is lower than 4 bar, you will need to look for a sprinkler that is specifically designed to work with low water pressure . Round sprinklers can be a better choice for low pressure areas. A garden sprinkler can save you time and effort, as well as water and money. However, it’s important to find the best lawn sprinkler to suit your specific garden. One thing you have to be aware of if you’re considering this sprinkler, is that it ships from the USA, and so there’s a waiting time for delivery and you might end up with some extra charges for importing. Personally, I think it’s worth the wait because you’ll end up with a really solidly built sprinkler, with ¾” coupling which allows for better water flow.

The spread is quite wide, doing a relatively good job of evenly covering a rectangular space. It is also possible to reduce the water pressure by using a dial on the unit. This may be helpful for people with smaller gardens or very high water pressure.Several stationary sprinklers will need to be used to cover the whole lawn, as their maximum area coverage is limited, so they’re better for small or medium sized gardens. These round sprinklers usually have three or four arms that spin and cover a circular area. One of the best things about rotating sprinklers is how far they can spray water. However, they do not achieve an even coverage because the area closer to the sprinkler receives more water. The metal fittings add to this already high level of durability and showed no sign of leakage, even after we dropped it on purpose a few times to see what would happen. It’s no wonder that the company is offering a 2-year warranty, they know the product will last.
