Yes, the impact sprinklers are working well. I'm using different nozzles in them depending how much area they need to cover. I'm very happy that I can run 4 impact sprinklers off of one spigot in the back yard and get coverage over the entire area all at once.ken-n-nancy wrote:Do you have your watering all planned out, as to where you need to position the sprinklers in order to get sufficient coverage, and a plan to get everything watered about 4 times a day?
Are the impact sprinklers giving you the coverage you need without excessive runoff?
(The problem I've seen in the past is that the impact sprinklers often result in pretty heavy watering within about a 2' radius of the sprinkler, sometimes resulting in runoff from around the base of the sprinkler while the bulk of the area being watered by the sprinkler hasn't received enough water yet. However, as long as the sprinkler is in a level area with well-drained soil, impact sprinklers can work pretty well.)
I bought timers that I can program hourly. I'm not sure if you can tell from the pics, but both front and back yards are hills. I'm going to be using very short, frequent watering periods to try to avoid runoff.
