An oscillating sprinkler is versatile - being effective on
small lawns and large lawns alike. Take note of the column
above that indicates "Area" above. This number
reflects the max area that the sprinkler can get to in a single
placement, but all of these oscillating sprinklers can be
adjusted for smaller or unusual areas.
Oscillating sprinklers have light weight aluminum spray bars
with a distinct number of jets (specified in the chart above). When
you hook the sprinkler to a garden hose or other water supply, the spray bars of this sprinkler move back and forth. The back and forth motion provides a spray of water out onto your lawn in a square or rectangular pattern. By turning a knob one way or the other, you can adjust the spray of the water to meet your lawn's exact watering needs.
To get the coverage areas specified in the chart above, use
at least a 5/8"
garden hose and have a minimum of 40 psi water pressure
available, smaller hoses or less pressure may reduce coverage
significantly.
The best time to turn your oscillating sprinkler on and water
your lawn is between the hours of five to ten o'clock in the
morning.
