Hi, I set up this kit and each sprinkler only sprays about 1-2 feet. I bled the system first, and there are no leaks. Any suggestions?

this is a low flow system it wont spray any further its designed as one step up from a drip system sorry I had the same issue

There is a small circle knob on the front of each sprayer to adjust. Also, make sure you have water on strong enough because at a certain rate the water falls through the hole area close to the spigot, but doesn't when water is running with proper pressure.

Check the washers inside the anti-syphon and reducing valve. The one with the mesh may be clogged or twisted to block proper flow. I had a problem that they didn't seat properly and caused reduced flow. Also, if you run one head to the next using the 1/4" tubing, you will not get good flow on that line or lines. I took these out and ran direct runs from the 1/2" tube directly to each head.

I used mine to water a small garden and it worked very well. I don't believe the sprinkler heads were designed to spray more than 1-2 feet.

Each sprinkler head has a different spray pattern, so perhaps you should switch heads. If you aren't using a pressure regulator, you can also control the distance of the spray by adjusting the water level up or down.The hoses are relatively small and only carry a certain amount of water, so you may be asking more from the system than it is physically capable of delivering. If that is the problem, add more hoses and more sprinkler heads. Good luck!

Hi, This system is designed for only low flow as it says in the item description like veg garden for best results only for shorter distance. I got it for my garden to attach one of the sprinkler head so that my garden gets water. I guess you need one step higher may be.

Keep in mind that the Rain Drip system was developed in Israel to make the best use of a very scarce water supply. It is designed to direct water to exactly where it is needed and only to such areas. A 1 to 2 foot radius is normal. If water is needed outside of that area use an additional circular sprinkler or a fitting that does not revolve and just sprays at a 90 or 180 degree angle. Also some rotary sprinklers have an an adjustable feature that allows you vary the radius. There are many parts that do not come in the packaged kit. jrhanlon@attglobal.net

I agree with the low-flow 1-2 feet is about it. But with the number of sprinklers in the system and the way you can overlap the sprays I did get a lot of coverage. This is my second year and I only removed the sprinkler heads for the winter and we are up an running again this summer. Love the system.

I have purchased and set up three shower sprays so far and did not use too much Teflon tape in each one --don't understand why your hose is leaking. Check out your own installation again

I tried it with 1/4 inch and there is not enough pressure to go more than a few feet. I wanted to do my raised garden. Spent a lot of time piecing it together and the connectors broke as I was setting it up, then it did not work after the first 3-4 feet. I took it apart, plugged the sprinklers into 1/2 inch and was good go to.

As the others have said in answer to this question, as long as you keep pumping more air into the air compartment, the water should still spray out. I've had the water level low in mine and it works fine.

There is NOT an adjustment on the sprinkler. The only way you can adjust the spray distance would be the amount of water pressure you apply. If I want to do a small area, I turn the water on low. It takes very little water pressure to get the wand to turn. It just turns slower. If I want to water a large area, I turn the water on all the way. I am on a water well system and it works great for me.

i used a 2 gallon sprayer i did not attach it to my hose it worked on zoysia grass takes a while so youve got to be patient

You have a defective sprayer....I've bought three of these and never had a problem leaking....e-mail them..this is way too expensive to be loosing so much product

I have well water and water with 3 of these at the same time and do not have a problem they all oscillate and water a large area and the hoses range from 75ft to 100ft to 200ft that these sprinklers are hooked up to.

If you're talking about your sprinkler lines then yes (assuming 3/4" lines). I tested mine when we laid our new sprinkler system and the pressure drop is very rapid (5 seconds before you have to shut off and rebuild pressure). My lines are approximately 500 feet each station. Had to re-pressurize twice and any residual water after that is fine. As to the connector, it depends on your back-flow device. Mine is a Watts 009 series with 1/4" fittings. I used a quick change connector, 1/4" ball valve and a 1/4" hex connector. For the Watts, its check valve #4.

It is probably leaking at one of the connections and running down the hose. I have had to retighten where it connects to the sprayer a couple of times. Hope this helps

You adjust the pressure manually with this sprayer. So, if you keep it pumped up and have the nozzle adjusted to a stream-spray, it may spray up to 8' . I typically use it as a mist spray to cover a broad area and then it only sprays about 2-3' ahead of me.

I had three impact sprinklers on one timer for the front yard. My faucet was wide open to accommodate that and the timer was able to handle the pressure without leaking from the faucet connection when not running. I guess I'd make sure your washers are new, but honestly, I don't think I changed my very often. I hope this helps.

Ours sprays like a squirt gun and doesn't seem to have any issues. Also doesn't seem to be any adjustment. Hope that helps

My husband's WP hose (leading to the sprinkler) worn out, spraying water every where, but not on the tip itself. He got the manufacture's website, ordered it for $8.00 and a few $$ for shipping. It came less than a week, took 10 minutes to replace, worked like a charm. I believe yours should be stress-free problem as well. Good luck

Absolutely wonderful sprinklers. I have very good pressure where I'm at and I have about a 90 foot diameter of spray. Work very well.

dear sir sorry i took time to respond i dont go to email much i can tell you the area i water is 16 ft by 32 feet a veg our water pressure about 25 psi . garden i have not try to water larger area. i think one could water an area 50 ft by 25 ft. this is the about the 3 rd year we have had 2 of these dramm sprinklers. these dramm sprinklers are the best we. have had no trouble out of them they stay outside in garden all year long - no leaking/ no trouble with arm moving side to side. if u wish more info call me four 0 four 276 008three

I am not sure, we do not have sprinkler. You should try to contact the manufacture
