nice video thanks for sharing very interesting .. god bless

do you have to turn on the tap for it to work?

[QuickSnapSprinklers]

The flow of the water from the hose causes the sprinkler head to pop up. When you turn off the water, the head automatically drops back down below ground.

[QuickSnapSprinklers]

Sure, you can bury the hose. Some people just run it along beneath their shrubs, or bury it under mulch. Some just leave it out and let the grass grow up around it.

[MrNerf231]

Can you also bury the hose if wanted?

[labudovim]

Does the sprinkler head rotate? What is the area coverage for one sprinkler? What is the required water pressure for that coverage (assume 1 sprinkler only)?

Thanks,

Marko

[QuickSnapSprinklers]

Rotation can be set from 40 to 360 degrees. At furthest settings (360 deg X 40') it waters 5000 sq ft. 30psi is required--typical household is 50-70 psi.

burry the garden hose......then that will really save time

[QuickSnapSprinklers]

They are very durable. They come with a 5-year warranty and will generally last longer than that. Compare that with the sprinklers that have to get dragged around the yard!

[prescottwinstonworth]

This looks great, and looks like an easy way to go about installing sprinklers, how durable are they?

[willkoster]

Yes your saving thousands on a real irrigation system but,  downside:

Your using your house hose bibs and your being charges for sewage (city water)

Your still dragging hoses, How much is your time really worth?

You'll have to have alot of hoses and alot of time to switch heads for even coverage

[QuickSnapSprinklers]

People who don't have an installed system are already using their hose bibs and household water to water their lawn. Quick-Snaps use the same method.

Using a Quick-Snap means you SAVE time. You don't have to drag the hose as much as you did before. You don't have to watch the sprinkler each time you move it to see where the water will go. You dont have to move it out of the way for mowing or bring it back out.

No. you don't need a lot of hoses. The one you already have will do.

Best sprinkler you will ever buy!!! I love it. its so easy to water now!!

[Mrstonester]

where could I find one?

[stnapruoyoop]

yeah, i would suggest screwing on a little vacum breaker before hooking up and using this...

[QuickSnapSprinklers]

No. Whether water is turned off at the tap or at the sprinkler (via a quick-connector w/ a shutoff valve), the sprinkler retracts back into the ground by releasing water, and thereby, equalizing the water pressure that is behind it.  Notice when you turn off the water that the sprinkler head ejects water as it drops down. If you are still concerned a backflow prevention valve can be threaded onto your tap. They are quite inexpensive.

Is there any chance to get water contamination keeping the hose hook up to the sprinkler head. I mean contamination going to the house water system?
