35ADJTNTB Brass Impact Sprinkler, Adjustable 0° - 360° Pattern, 23' - 50' Spray Distance, Grey

UPDATE JUNE 2019 - I've had two of these sprinkler head for over three years and they are still going strong. That is at least three times longer than any other brand sprinkler I have tried. For folks with low water pressure, or using surface water irrigation pumps, these are the only choice. Of course, they work great for everyday residential applications with city water, too. ORIGINAL REVIEW - JULY 2016 I irrigate my lawn using surface water pumped out of a shallow lake behind my home. The additional solids present (i.e. algae, sand, debris, grit), as well as the inconsistent pressures seem to play havoc with most of the impact sprinklers I have tried. The big box store brand sprinklers I tried wouldn't oscillate right out of the box, as they often hit the first stop and stopped, literally. I finally found the Orbit 56667N Tripod Base Impact Sprinkler on Amazon, which worked at the required pressures; but then it stopped oscillating after the first season. I ordered this Rainbird (with ½ inch male fitting) to replace the Orbit head on the tripod, and the difference is staggering. The Rainbird is by far the highest quality sprinkler head I have tried yet. I have used specialty Rainbird heads in industrial applications, so I knew they were a well-made product. Rainbird doesn’t make many sprinklers that aren’t for use in irrigation systems, which is why I didn’t go with Rainbird from the beginning. I am glad I found this replacement head, and I will be making another base connection, so that I can order an additional Rainbird head for use at my second spigot feed. See below for additional details of the Rainbird 25PJDAC. MATERIAL QUALITY – 5 STARS The difference between the brass Rainbird and the Zinc Orbit was staggering. The Orbit brand sprinkler was made of junk Chinese potmetal, whereas, the Rainbird had high quality brass fittings with bronze and stainless steel. The Orbit model was based on a similar design, but taking the two apart revealed that the materials were not even close. Even the washers on the male fitting were far superior on the Rainbird model. COVERAGE AREA, SPRAY PATTERN, & OPERATING EFFICIENCY – 5 STARS These will cover a large area. Best coverage are of any sprinkler head yet, which cuts down on time spent moving sprinklers around. This model sprays at least 10 feet further than the previously mentioned Orbit sprinkler. The stops also stay put better, but yet somehow are easier to adjust with a single hand, compared to the Orbit. Rainbird is also capable of true 360 degree operation, whereas, the Orbit model is not. Compared to other sprinkler styles, impact sprinklers have a much more efficient spray type, and their adjustability makes keeping the water where you want it much easier. NONPOTABLE WATER CAPABILITY – 5 STARS As previously mentioned, this sprinkler head handles surface source water better than any model I found. If you irrigate from a pond, creek, lake, or other surface impoundment, then this is the sprinkler head you are looking for. It also handles low water pressure very well, so it would also be a good choice for those drawing source water from wells. VALUE – 5 STARS Fantastic price for such a high quality sprinkler. I haven’t seen high quality materials like this one has in residential grade sprinklers in years, yet the price is cheaper than most plastic impact sprinklers you could find at your local lawn & garden or big box chain stores. You will need to purchase a base for the head, but even still, at this price you can’t go wrong. THANKS Thanks for reading my review. I hope it was helpful.

It’s hard to beat the old solid brass impact, and they are plastic. But they do have great adjustment control and work without a hitch. But if you’re hard on your outdoor stuff these might not be the best option. They are a great value however and if you just water your grass or small beds these are perfect

Bought 6 of these to fully replace a similar product made by a now-defunct company. Multiple spray-pattern head attachments come with it, but honestly, we only used one type for our needs, so I cannot review the interchangeability. Though Rain Bird products are widely known, reliable and trusted, as always, be very careful when adjusting the spray ranges and nozzles, or clearing out debris around the sprayer as much of it is plastic -- sturdy, but still fragile.

Aw man where to start on these! :) First let me say that I've been a machinist for over 20yrs and after that long you're cursed with the mind set that everything you do has to be done with precision. I had a couple cheap pulse sprinklers from a local store and they both began leaking at the base and one started slowly rotating while getting stuck more often after no less than a month of use. After some research and pricing, I started to get the metal version of these but then seen the great reviews of these in plastic with the weighted insert and how some liked them even better than the metal ones after having used both. I got two of these and installed them on the metal sprinkler base 58030 which have no movement or leaks whatsoever during use. The sprinkler heads give me the exact precision of adjustments needed for me to be satisfied with. My centipede grass needs heavy watering with deep saturation but watered less often (twice a week during dry hot spells) for good deep root growth. Centipede doesn't respond well to alot of watering all the time. Again these heads are perfect for the situation, large water drops evenly spread with a steady slow rotation. I use both of mine working together to cover around 2000 square ft at a time and it doesn't take long to get the deep saturation that I'm looking for in the area covered. The heads turn freely and smooth with no hangups or stuttering action and the rotation can be stopped and returned to the start exactly where you want it. The spray is adjustable for the spread or distance you want which gives you the best coverage for your situation. These are very quiet sprinklers compared to my last ones (which I'm giving away now) and operate with very little water pressure as others have mentioned. Wife can be running the washer, kid taking a bath and two sprinklers running all at the same time and they continue rotating smoothly just as they do with higher water pressure. As a bonus, its very relaxing in the evenings/mornings while sitting on porch hearing the lightly pulse of the sprinklers running. With expensive items you often read in the reviews that 'you get what you pay for'. With these sprinkler heads you get an excellent price with everything and more for what you paid for compared with the more expensive heads. Simply a great buy!

great. First, I've had a ton of experience with these impact type sprinkler heads from working in a small tree nursery business some years ago. This fall I decided to some pretty major reseeding of my front lawn, I need two sprinklers to run off a splitter to water the seed, so I went to the local box store and picked up the splitter, specific hose lengths, and two impact sprinklers...,Orbit I believe is the brand, these had the green metal head and they are garbage, nothing but problems in evey way. So I had a freshly renovated lawn that was going to need water twice a day and garbage sprinkles. I came here, saw the Rain Bird brand amd bought the two pack of these heads only to use in the bases from the garbage green ones I bought. I've been using these Rain Birds twice a day for a month and down now to once a day and they're great. They're plastic so you do have take some care not to break them but they work on high pressure, low pressure, whatever. I adjust the distance control and the rotation degree daily when I move them and it's not a problem at all. The screw to fuzz up the stream is a pain but you just need to set it once so it just touches the stream and leave it, so it's fine too.

I purchased a total of 21 Rain Bird 25PJDA-C brass impact sprinklers from this store for my 3 acre property and I could not be happier! Not only does this Amazon store have the LOWEST prices for this particular top-end model from Rain Bird anywhere on the internet or in stores by far, but each time I ordered they arrived quickly, packaged well with each sprinkler being individually bubble wrapped, and always absolutely brand new and sealed in the original manufacturer’s packaging. These impact’s installed easily and with no issues and throw the water farther than anything else I’ve seen or tried on the market. I HIGHLY recommend these if you have a large space to cover (especially in windy areas) as they do not waste water by misting it into the air, are adjustable by pitch, degree of coverage (0-360 degrees), and distance - and not to mention they just look BEAUTIFUL! You can tell how high quality they are just by holding one. Heavy, well-designed, and as a bonus they just sound GREAT! I love waking up at 6:00 AM to watch them run and listen to the impact’s ticking back and forth. Overall 20/10 product and 30/10 customer service and Amazon store. 100/10 recommend!!!

Well made

I've had so many disappointments with lawn sprinklers through the years. One of the issues I've had is that they won't rotate the spray from side to side unless the water is turned higher than I want it. This sprinkler amazes me with how well it operates when water is turned on very little. The settings of it are different from what I'm used to, but I figured things out quickly and been loving this sprinkler every since. I've had it only a short time but have used it in several areas of different shapes and sizes in my yard. I highly recommend it.
