How does a gilmour sprinkler work

You can adjust the length of the water pattern using the collar control tabs. The one we tested was very tight, requiring a firm grip with both hands and considerable force to slide the tabs. This was a definite down-side to an otherwise terrific sprinkler. We tested the water distribution of the Gilmour Rectangular Sprinkler with rain gauges. We also set out rain gauges to test how much water was distributed. This is important to keep in mind when you are using it, as you might want to move the sprinkler to different locations to ensure more even watering.

We also liked the hose connector as it was easy to grip, even when wet. The sprinkler is sturdy and has a full complement of length and width adjustments, although some may find the length adjustment difficult to use.

Menu Skip to content. In fact, Gilmour has our favorite hose connectors out of all the sprinklers we tested this year. Multiple hose connections mean that you can daisy-chain multiple sprinklers. All of the parts are large enough to easily grasp or move, and Gilmour makes it even easier by making all adjustable or removable parts their signature aqua color so you know what to touch and what to leave alone.

Figuring out how to use the Gilmour Hybrid Impact Sprinkler with base was intuitive thanks to labeling. Can Be Daisy-Chained — There also is the option to daisy-chain multiple sprinklers together connect them in series with a length of garden hose , so you can reach more areas of your yard or garden all at once.

While this sprinkler is impressive with its features and levers, the actual use of the sprinkler leaves something to be desired.

This inevitably leaves a giant unwanted puddle or two in your yard. See a video of how to adjust the Gilmour Hybrid Impact Sprinkler in the video below.

We also captured some issues we had with the sprinkler which are pointed out in more detail above. The Gilmour Hybrid Impact sprinkler has a limited lifetime warranty.
