Andrews 100-Foot 2 Tube Sprinkler Hose 10-12349
Double tube construction with holes pierced on one sideMade of durable yet flexible vinyl, the two-tube sprinkler is easy to contour around garden beds and varied terrain. The end clip can be removed and reset, allowing you to adjust the hose length either permanently or temporarily. And, because the hose lies flat, you can point the holes up for a gentle spray or down for a slow soak. Guaranteed for five years.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Gentle, deep watering
I've used Andrews 2-tube sprinkler hoses on my lawn for fifteen years. They provide the perfect kind of gentle, deep watering that I prefer. They help me have a lush green lawn, even though its just ordinary bermuda grass, and even though I only water once every two weeks! I let the hose sprinkle gently for about two hours on each area of my lawn, then shift it to another--it does take a few minutes setting up and adjusting the water pressure to give just the coverage I want, but since I don't have an inground sprinkler system, this works best for me. I store the hose on a cord reel (the kind made for 100 feet of heavy-duty extension cords), so it's a simple matter of reeling it out across the area I want to water, then reeling it up again when I'm done--keeps it neat and free of kinks ... plus, it keeps it out of the "hands" of the raccoons, who used to chew it to pieces before I came up with the idea of using the cord reel. Nowadays, my lawn looks better than my neighbor's with...

easy-to-use sprinkler hose
This sprinkler hose is extremely easy to use and functions exactly as described. The only possible problem which I see is that the holes go all the way to the faucet connection. This may be problematic since water can seep into your home's foundation. I purchased a 10 ft. extender hose to solve the problem.
P.O.S.
I suppose this sprinkler hose would be OK if it is always left in one place, but I had several duties in mind for it.
While the amount of spray was just perfect for the parking strips that I used it for the most, I came to dread setting it up because it is so cheap and flimsy it would very easily get into nightmarish twists. I would end up wasting a great deal of time untwisting it. I found that it is easiest way to get it untwisted was to turn the water on and just get soaking wet, but save time. Upon about the 10th use a rose thorn slashed it and it was kaput.

Good economical solution for small areas
This is a very simple sprinkler. You control it by increase or decrease water pressure by how wide you open the spigot of water to which the hose is attached. How much of the area is covered depends on how strong your water pressure is at its max. The biggest area I can get is about 10 feet square. And, of course, anything less is obtained by just by turning down the water flow.

This sprinkler works well for spot watering. I have two small areas in the front lawn that I need to water, so I move the sprinkler a few times to get the entire area covered.

Since it has no moving parts this is going to outlast all my other rotation and oscillating sprinklers that I use in the back yard. The only down side of this sprinkler that it is very light, so if the hose does not want to lay flat (which is often the case) this sprinkler will not stay flat, it cannot fight what the hose wants to do. There is a little loop of metal at the very tip which can be used to pin the...

Too light weight. Not really rectangular pattern
Too light weight. Not really rectangular pattern since water spray out at different pressure. It won't stay flat because of the light weight.
Just right for my small rectangular vegetable garden
This is the perfect shape for my smallish, rectangular vegetable garden. No controls or moving parts so this should last just about forever. Just adjust water flow/pressure to make the coverage area larger or smaller.

To those reviewers who said it was too light to stay in place I have a simple solution. Take a wire coat hanger and cut the straight portion to about six inches in length; this can usually be done with a pair of pliers. 1" or 1 1/2" from one end use the pliers to bend the wire to a 90 degree angle making a handle of sorts. Use the "handle" to push the wire through the little hole (opposite of where the hose connects to the sprinkler) and down into the ground thereby stabilizing the sprinkler. When you're finished watering simply pull up on the "handle" removing the wire and you're sprinkler is ready to be used in another location. Hope this helps those who thought it was too light to stay on the ground.

simple item works as expected
Fits properly to terminate the 1/4" Orbit soaker line that I purchased to add to existing lines in our garden.
However after purchasing I did find that you can order these thru Lowes online and just pick them up next time you're in the store.

No Complaints
I have used this sprinkler to replace my aging fleet of sprinklers that were originally installed years ago. This sprinkler is very easy to manage as far as directing spray goes and easy to install (not that any sprinkler of this type is difficult to install). There is a noticable difference in my lawn where I have these installed. I will continue to replace my old sprinklers with this one as I go. Great product. Great price.

Rotary sprinkler
Decent sprinkler, kind of cheap feeling but for the price that is to be ecpected. It leaked pretty bad when I first got it so I had to use some teflon tape to help it seal. also the product came extremely dusty. The sprinkle pattern is pretty weak too.

Good design but needs more durable rubber washer in the check valve
Pros

1. Excellent design feature - has a built-in union that allows the valve to split in the middle. The valve can then be easily removed from the pipes for servicing. Each half simply spins off the corresponding inlet or outlet pipe.

2. The solenoids that operate the valve have proven durable.

Cons

1. Unfortunately, the rubber washer that is part of the check valve in the backflow preventer has not proven durable on half of the Toro valves that I'm using. The rubber washer ends up cracking/splitting and then allows significant water to flow past the check valve when the unit is operating. This results in water flooding the area around the valve instead of going to the sprinklers. The rubber washer looks like a common size but when I get what looks like an identical washer at a local plumbing shop and install it (very easy to do, by the way), the leak still occurs. I haven't called Toro for the exact replacement part which I'm sure...

Toro 53763 Sprinkler Valve
I purchased this valve for parts. My sprinkler system is about 7 years old and 1 valve failed. Toro doesn't sell the part I needed, so this was the easy fix. Part was just what I needed and fixed the problem in 5 minutes. I also have other spare parts if another fails. Shipping was quick and free, which made it even better. Over all the valve works as promised. I just wish Toro sold all the internal parts, so I wouldn't have to spend $15 to fix a part that would cost 50 cents.

Backyard Magic
I always wanted to have a sprinkler system that did not require too much of my time. I priced a system for my yard and it required several thousands of dollars to achieve it, not to mention the complicated setup for times and sections.

I picked up two Orbit 58872N sets and a handful of extra valves last year, one set for the front yard and one for the back yard, four sections/valves each. Today I write a review as a very satisfied customer. The devices work great, timers and settings work perfectly well and accurate. These timers were easy to install and after installing a basic sprinklers system pattern around my yard, it took me about ten minutes to setup each into four individual sections/valves, each section/valve with different watering times.

All-in-all, these devices are worth a fraction of professional installed systems and work just as well. Give it a try before you spend the big bucks...

p.s. ensure they are disconnected during the cold...

Decent functionality, as long as it stays dry
The design is nice as you can expand to more than 1-2 zones. It also provides the ability to attach hose without having to take the whole thing off the faucet.

I've not been able to figure out if it is possible to set different zones so that say Zone A runs everyday, for 10 minutes at 5am, while zone B runs every other day for 8 minutes at 5:30 am. I can get it so they both run either every day, or every other day, but it doesn't seem to be able to separate the daily frequencies.

Unfortunately, I've already been through 2 of these so far, and have now resulted to keeping it surrounded in a ziploc bag. The reason is to keep the water from either rain or the sprinklers themselves from seeping into the poorly sealed battery compartment. This thing was full of water by the end of the season even though there is no water flowing through the electronic compartment. Orbit needs to address this as it makes an otherwise B+ compenent into a C- or a D.
Here are a few 'ideas' or 'suggestions' for you to consider.
The new product is similar to the old model. I have been using the old model for a few years now. Seriously - about 5-6 years all told.

I spent more than most of you might, due to my setup, which I will explain further below.

I also bought multiple valves, more than one timer, new rubber washers, additional hoses, quick connect sets Orbit Brass Hose Quick Connect Set 58117 and some assorted plumbing items. All told - approximately $200+, but still way cheaper than an underground system.

I took a piece of plywood and mounted the controllers to it, mounted the manifolds to it and then pieced together my piping parts (1/2" galvanized) to put together a 'system'. I also connected a device that absorbs the pressure when the vales shut off to avoid the hammer effect.

The system starts at the faucet with the hammer stopper, then runs through a small (2-3') of hose, which...
