Orbit Impact Sprinkler heads - Performance Tests and comparison 

Thanks for the comment!

@@TommyTester Great video, atrocious soundtrack. whatever works for you though. Would you be willing to share some of your time and knowledge regarding best sprinkler for rectangular areas with most even coverage?

Sure beats what's on TV! Thanks!

Thanks, will do!

Ive used the plastic one for our yard for the last 5 years. Mine sits on a plastic base and ive had no problems with it. My preference is for the plastic one and not metal.

Not sped up. It is lightweight so that helps it go so fast.

I use the Orbit H2O - 6 and the Orbit 58322.

@@TommyTester Thank you!

It is a copy of it and boy is it crap. The one i have seen is already well on its way to being worn out within a year of hard use. The body of it is brass, but the arm is a cast zinc which really doesn't last long at all. The trip collars are bent up and one is already broken off. I want to replace it with an Aqua Burst X-25. Much better sprinkler for the money.

I also have one, they are really crappy. I usually avoid orbit products although I’ve used some of there rotors before and they aren’t that worst in my experience.

The plastic one is lighter so it operates faster than the other. There is no way to adjust the speed as long as there is good pressure available.

Never heard of that. I'd try WD40 in the right spot as it repels water.

I've heard that if you don't have enough water pressure or flow rate that sometimes the metal sprinklers can get stuck. Sometimes they also just need an initial flick to get going.

See the charts at the 6 minute point.

Orbit and Melnor are brands I avoid at all costs. I do have that tripod Melnor but mostly for the tripod itself. The head that came with it is yellow brass and junk in every way.

He states at :19 that the deflectors and diffusers are retracted. It's a solid test.
