how many of these have people had hooked and on at one time? Ex. I want 4 sprinklers running at the same time off the same hose.

I would assume it depends on your house's water pressure and the type of hosing you are using.. but I have kind of poor water pressure and normal Home Depot-type hoses and connections and am able to use 3 one the same line, at the same time, without issue

I have 4 sprinklers running at the same time but I purposefully only want it to throw 10 feet across. I have them configured to spray in half circles. It's the best way I've figured out to irrigate an extremely long narrow space but only spraying from the side.

That depends on your water pressure but honestly I doubt that you will be able to have four heads working simultaneously off one hose. Also keep in mind that you will not get the specified throw off the sprinkler heads if you try running four at one time, so even if you had the pressure to do so, you would only be watering a small areaō

I have 2 daisy chained and it worked great, small decrease to watering range. I think 4 would decrease the range signifigantly as my 2 in the front yard run fine. If I run those 2 and the 2 in the back yard range is bad. It really depends on your water pressure overall. Gear drive are the best by far though!

I have had at most two on at one time. However, we are on well water and the water pressure varies between 40 and 60 psi. At the low end of the pressure, the sprinklers have a difficult time rotating. If you have higher water pressure, then I imagine you may be able to have more sprinklers at one time.

I love the sprinklers however, I tried this with 3+ of them in-line and the water pressure dropped pretty significantly for all of them. I generally have great water pressure so I think it was just spreading it too thin. I ended up buying a 2 hose adaptor & timer and hooking a max of two sprinklers on each side. Essentially, it's timed so each side fires off at a different time but still accomplished what I was wanting to do.

You can only use one function at a time. There is an option to have all the jets on but you can't use jets and spray heads at the same time. Honestly, you probably don't have the water pressure to support that much water.

Hi Lola - The way it works is that there are a set of 6 "programs" or watering on/off times. All 6 run during the same 24 hour day, and you can decide which days will run those programs. So, for example, if you set up 4 of the 6 programs, you can decide which days run them, but whichever days you select will all have to run the exact same programs. You can NOT have different programs run on different days. I hope that helps.

It IS physically possible to couple any number of these flexible hoses together; I have done so. For each coupling, you will need a round collar, about four inches outside diameter, and two hose clamps to hold each hose to the collar. I've found these items at Home Depot; probably any store that carries irrigation/sprinkler parts would have them. For the collar, I used a THREE inch coupler, designed to couple two pieces of three inch (interior diameter) sprinkler line together, fitting over the outside of the two pieces of sprinkler line. However, you should seriously consider whether how long a hose line will work in your application. Best wishes!

Hmmm. I only use one sprinkler, but I do use a hose splitter to be able to run a sprinkler and get water for other purposes. That seems to work well, so maybe a splitter and two hoses? I notice that they do have a dual sprinkler timer and perhaps that might be what is necessary? I really like their timer and ordered a second after the first one gave out after a few years. The second one doesn't work. They do have a good guarantee and are sending me a new one. They seem helpful, so perhaps sending them an email with your question could be worthwhile.

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.

You are correct that the first sprayer gets more water than the other two -- there may be a way to "tune" them with the nozzels but I've never tried it because I don't need to -- I don't place them the full hose length apart but bring the two that have lesser spray closer together so I end up with basically an even spray -- they are not high tech but do the job --

I ordered the attachment to hook up to a water hose...However I just fill it with a Sprinkler can every other day...not a big problem.. I could hook it up sometime..but for now I am happy.

No. Only one zone will be active at a time (it's a water pressure issue really). You can set them all at the same time, but they'll end up running back to back.

I do not have more than one connected but I do have one strand plugged into am extension cord without cord locks. It rains here often and mine have worked great. Hope this helps.

Yes, you program each zone independent of the other zones. We ran 3 zones on the timer and left one off the timer to be used with the hose.

Technically you can set them all to go off at the same time but I find the water pressure isn't what I need to do that in my garden. So... I run each zone or two at different times. Hope that helps answer your question.

You attach one hose to the timed valve to have scheduled irrigation and another hose to the other which you can turn on and off by pressing the manual button. This is so you don't have to take the assembly off if you want to use the same hose spigot for something else, you just use the other attached hose and the manual button.

I usually don't experiment because it is a huge mess to clean up if I mess up. I can make 6 without fear of overflow. If I want more, I toggle the on/off switch to be safe.

Sure, their is a black Rubber piece on the side. You need to turn that rubber piece and then the water comes out of both, but only one at a time. Set the time how long you want to have the water to run and then when one side stops the other side of the hose will start . Their don't start both at the same time. Hope that helps.

So you mean two in a row on the same hose? Hadn't thought of that, but I guess you could try. What really fixed the banging for me was to just turn back the cut-off valves at the wall to just the right spot. Not too much, not too little, just enough to get rid of the bang. I still left the arrestors on because I was tired of working on this problem, so they may still be helping for all I know. It could be that my water pressure is so high that, even at maximum flow, they didn't work, then when I started closing the valves I found a flow rate that was in their ballpark. This might suggest that they could be undersized for residences with relatively high water pressure. So you mean two in a row on the same hose? Hadn't thought of that, but I guess you could try.

Honestly must be a problem in the line after that first sprinkler head, mine does 20 sprinkler heads and even equal pressure is delivered to all
