These Quick-Snap In-Ground Sprinklers are going to help me water my lawn easier and will allow me to use their quick snap connectors to hook up a hose and begin watering. I no longer have to re-position the sprinklers and move them as needed since these Quick-Snap sprinklers will already be in the ground set to where they need to water ready to go. These Quick-Snap sprinklers are a great DIY Sprinkler System for in ground sprinkler systems. Great for your everyday DIY person and easy to install.

Run a garden hose under your fence below the first board. Go 50 feet and drop a head at each joint. That's what I did so I don't have to move sprinklers anymore. Put 3 on a zone and add a timer. Only trenching will be at the house to the fence. Use an edging shovel and make a slot. Easy to dig and it doesn't have to be deep. If the hose ever goes bad you can pull it up. The freezing doesn't damage the hose. That's how we do it at "Ratino's Small Engine & Landscaping." 🐀🐾

@MrRaven2517 5 лет назад

I've been using these for 3-4 years now and have about 5 total across my yard. Even had my neighbor ask where I got them from and he ordered his last year and loves them. Another thing to get is the quick connect with the "air pump" attachment to push any water out of the cylinder to winterize. Trick: there's a small screw on top of the canister towards the sprayer to change the width and height of the water coming out; very handy for creating a mist and for slopes in the yard.

@davidkearin3622 4 года назад

Ah so with these types will they water the patch directly Infront of the sprinkler? As it looks to arc over it, or do you need another facing that patch? Thanks

@MrRaven2517 4 года назад

David Kearin It depends on the distance of the patch from the sprinkler. I think using the trick I mention to create a mist will give the seed and soil the moisture needed for any growth.

@DIYReid 4 года назад

Normally you’d have another over lap it but it waters very close to it.

You can do it that way, but you can also use the Y joints to hook more than one sprinkler up in a zone. Can bury the hoses or leave above ground. You can use a multiple outlet digital hose spigot timer to automate the entire system.

Just trench a line and install regular sprinkler heads. It is so easy to do. If you don't want to use solenoids wired to a control panel just send them to one quick connect with 4 or 5 on that line. You can have multiple heads and lines and just hook the hose to the main inlets around your yard. Wiring to a control panel via solenoids would also be easy for your yard because it is all open grass, so don't be scared to go the fully automatic route if you choose.

@Balocay 4 года назад

Would there be enough water pressure with that method? I like the idea of what you recommended but I'm curious if water pressure would become an issue?

Am I missing something? How is this easier than just carrying a sprinkler over to the corner of the lawn when you take the hose to hook it up? It seems like it is just a waste of money on 8 sprinklers where 1 would do just as well with less effort. The only real advantage of in-ground sprinklers is the permanent hoses that connect the sprinklers and the electronic timers and valves to automate the process. This seems to be a lot of the work and expense of in-ground with none of the benefits.

@Slimzyjoe 5 лет назад

It literally takes 10 minutes to put one of these in. I wouldn't classify it as work. Lol. You literally plug the hose in a quick connect to a sprinkler that is pre set, correctly, every time you use it.. and you aren't dragging a sprinkler around. You act like this is a full on excavation project to put one of these in.. Lol.

have you even actually tried to water a lawn like that? it usually takes 2, 3 minutes to figure out the best placement and do adjustments to make sure you are covering the area you wanna water.

I am interested your opinion of the product. I am still looking for the video about the timer. It was great in my search for a sprinkler system for my lawn transformation and easy for me to do myself. I am getting a power seeding in a about 4 to 6 weeks to develop thicker and healthier grass and need it watered 3 times a day. I work from 8 to 5. Hows the timer working out. I have a read a few bad weeks about software complications or the app messing up. I need something that’s easy I think may those people are not technically advanced. Idk what do you think?

Yes I blew the sprinkler out with air.

@djmgarage306 4 года назад

Made my own and used something like these www.amazon.com/Orbit-Sprinkler-System-Plastic-Drain/dp/B0040QWLHK, did this years ago with no issues

Will you need 8 hoses to connect 8 sprinkler heads? If do you wold need to move the hose to each sprinkler.

@DIYReid 3 года назад

Yes. Each sprinkler will require a hose providing water.

80 P.S.I.? Is the water tower behind the house.?

@DIYReid 5 лет назад

Most homes have the ability to raise and lower water pressure.

@stevebabiak6997 4 года назад

I have public water that delivers over 100PSI at the entry to the house. There is a pressure reducing valve at the meter to drip the pressure into the range that building codes dictate (typically 40 PSI minimum to 80 PSI maximum). You can buy a water pressure gauge at the big box stores or online for around $10; it will attach to a garden hose faucet fitting so you can measure your actual water pressure.

Any concern when mowing? Seems like leaving the connector accessible might get it clipped. Especially in my uneven bumpy yard.

@DIYReid 5 лет назад

With a push mower you’re good. Heavy riding mower I would just be aware of where they are. Should be fine but if you can avoid them.

@djratino 2 года назад

I run my heads along the fence line so they can't be hit. I use the sled version for center stuff on a separate spigot. The lower yard is the only one I sprinkle.

@hondaturbo666 4 года назад

You might as well use a regular sprinkler because that will freeze over break in the winter unless you blow the water out

@DIYReid 4 года назад

That’s why they recommend blowing it out for winter.

@kwgalpin08 4 года назад

Is there any way to tether two together so they run at the same time? I only have one spigot in my front yard. Would prefer to be able to link two of them together if possible as opposed to using a splitter at the spigot and two hoses.

@DIYReid 4 года назад

Yes. You can link two together.

@jwells2005 3 года назад

Seems very expensive for a DIY system, especially being that it's still above ground. Can you connect the sprinklers together?

@DIYReid 3 года назад

Yes. You can tie two sprinklers together.

@natashafraser8685 4 года назад

So do you just have to move the hose around to each sprinkler head since you said you were doing more than one? Or do they all connect somehow?

@DIYReid 4 года назад

They send a splitter so I hook two up together in line.

@uptone12111 4 года назад

How has this method worked for you thus far?

@Blitznstitch2 4 года назад

You could have given those sprinklers away rather than throw them away - reduce waste

@DIYReid 4 года назад

It was only for the video. I still have them.

My neighbor just installed a Rain Bird 32ETI system. Just saw it in action today and it works great for the two heads he has in his backyard. Full coverage for about 3,000 SF. He has more on the side of his house (misters) and another unit for the front. Sure, there are trenches that needs to be dug for the connection hose, but you never have to go out to move your hose from one head to another so I see that one-time labor as an overall time saver for the number of times you have to move the hose from head to head. Also, I'm just not fan of having that connector sitting above ground and being seen all of the time. Rain Bird also makes a similar hose connect system, LG3HE, that is better in my opinion because the entire unit is below grass level. It's bigger than this, so the hole's a little larger, but no hose connection just sitting at ground level waiting to be hit be a lawn mower or weed eater, or becoming brittle from constant UV exposure.

@DIYReid 5 лет назад

These are below grass level. I have a difficult time sometimes finding them to hook the hose up. But yes, I’d love to have an underground system but for now these work awesome.

@richardgreen2421 4 года назад

From sprinkler to another sour most on same zone, just use the size hose?

@DIYReid 4 года назад

You can put two on one hose.

To drill under a concrete path dig a hole each side and get a long enough piece of pvc pipe about 1.5 inches on diameter and cut it sharp in an angle. Twist the pipe through the ground under the concrete and remove soil inside it periodical. It will drill easily through most soils

@troyb9609 5 лет назад

Dig a hole on both sides of the concrete use a piece of PVC pipe 3/4 or 1 in with a hose and adapter glue hosen adapter to the PVC pipe attach your garden hose and turn the water on all the way put slight pressure on the pipe it will go right through

@isierrah 5 лет назад

save work and money, just buy 4-pack of sprinkler heads, run a piece of hose to your water faucet, dig the heads and hide hose so they will be permanent. No timer... no problem, just do it manually.

@Balocay 4 года назад

Wouldn't you need to use a more durable material instead of a hose when running the hose underground? Would bugs/environment eventually destroy the regular hose?

@isierrah 4 года назад

There is special hose to be use under ground (black hose, funny hose etc, etc.) However, PVC pipe can be used too. You be surprised how long Regular hose will last.

Hey I watched your other video where you used pvc pipe into a t shape. Can you connect the sprinklers you bought from Amazon onto that dyi?

@DIYReid 4 года назад

Sorry. Didn’t realize what you were saying. In theory yes. But you’d be better off connecting rain birds or similar.

@kamranrasul4018 3 года назад

Question: how is it possible the lawn mower doesn't chew up the hoses?

@sadavis74 2 года назад

You don't leave the hoses out just the device stays in the ground.
