Ratings & Reviews for Orbit 8-ft 12-ft Adjustable Spray Adjustable Shrub Head Sprinkler

Would not buy again

I bought five of these for my yard. I have now replaced all five. If you look at the design, it goes from 1/2" to what looks like 3/8". That cuts down the water flow a lot. Three of the five were not working at all. When I replaced them, I found they had cracked at the base where they connect to the in ground supply. They looked like a great idea when I purchased them. They just didn't work out well for me.

Shrub Sprinkler

Perfect for what I needed!

large leaks before the spray head

Large leaks at the height adjustment joint render these useless. I've taken them apart to clean the threads and o-ring and ensured no cross-threading, then hand tightened at different heights. Still leaks to the point where the flow at the head is poor to non-existent.

Total garbage

The flow is not adjustable on these, the height and the spread of the spray can be adjusted, but not the flow, they are very inconsistent from cycle to cycle, one cycle thy will spray to the full 12 feet radius, the next cycle, it'll only bubble and spit a tiny bit of water if you're lucky, these are awesome if you want very inconsistent watering.

Work Well...

These are great for areas where the plants are large of if you are watering an incline.

Versatile

This Shrub Head Sprinkler was easy to install and because it had an adjustable height I was able to direct the water where needed.

Easy install

Easy install and works as advertised would recommend

Do not overtighten the head at the lowest position

Someone at the store or at the manufacturing plant over tightened it at the lowest position. When unscrewed, the rubber seal is stuck tight inside the threaded knob and the knob cannot be slid down and the device is permanently stuck at 12 inches of height. The seal had to be carefully pried out from under the threaded knob.

Works great for garden boxes

I have used this for water raised beds and they work great. As the plants grow you can raise the sprinkler up. You can adjust the spray patter according to your needs. The only problem is that you need to fasten them to a support stake because they break easily. Some have come with the washers stuck so that they will not extend. However, this is easily fixed with a small screw driver to loosen the washer.

Works great, but head comes off eventually.

I've been using these in my garden for almost a year and they work perfectly. Only problem is that the heads somehow will eventually blow off and the only way they'll tighten up is by removing the filter. It's almost impossible getting them adjusted back to 180 degree pattern because the head will blow off again. They are cheap enough to just replace, though.
