Excellent video! Way better than the Hunter video. Perfect for a complete noob like me! Has all the basics allowed me to get my sprinklers dialed in.

Thank you. You simplified the explanation for how to adjust these. Hunter makes these needlessly confusing.

Can you make it so it will not rotate? I adjusted it down but it still goes maybe 10 degrees. Can I gut the innards? Just have a thin strip to Irrigate.

how efficient is the spray curtain on hunter pgj sprinkler. where would the most water be delivered on a spray distance of 30', the last 5' (say 25-30') or would it be delivered evenly from the sprinkler to 30'? also what brand or model would spray the most even curtain up to 30'? thanks

@thesprinklerchannel Жыл бұрын

All heads are designed for even distribution the entire spray distance with proper installation and water pressure is also a key factor.

Thanks for posting the video! I just bought the PGJ at Home Depot and it doesn't come with the Hunter Wrench. You can't buy one there either. Am I missing something here? I need this to adjust the sprinkler, right? People have stolen the wrenches off of the side of the PGP at the store.

Do you have a video on how to install a rain sensor to the control box?

@thesprinklerchannel 11 ай бұрын

We don't yet but thank you for the suggestion. Essentially you will run the wire to one of the terminals that say "REM" above the terminal, then place the rains sensor outside on the gutter or such where it will be exposed to rainfall. Adjust clock setting accordingly to turn off when it rains.

It is VERY inconvenient that Hunter sprinklers are aligned right because the landscape subcontractor just dropped them in the ground and moved on to the next house.....leaving me to have to dig them up to make that right alignment adjustment. It would be much better if they simply made a sprinkler head where 90 degrees was the max and you could narrow the angle as needed.

Hi, my new Hunter pgp ultra head doesn’t seem to have the right stop. When I twisted it to the right, it just kept going and going. When I installed it, it goes 360 degrees. How do I set right stop until it clicks and lock to place?

@thesprinklerchannel Жыл бұрын

Make sure you don’t have a full circle model. Those will continuously turn in circles and can’t be changed. If that’s not the case, the gears could be stripped and it needs replaced.

I cannot get the hex screw to sit in the nozzle screw. Idk if there’s dirt covering it up but it’s driving me crazy.

Could be that, also could be stripped out

Maybe filler with dirt or stripped. Replacing it may be your best / easiest solution

The arc adjustment screw head is wallowing out,so how do you disasemble the head to replace the screw??????

At this point, I would be replacing the head for $10 to avoid spending an hour trying to get it out.

Where do you see a plus and a minus sign on this sprinkler head? Did you mean right arrow means plus and left arrow means minus?

@thesprinklerchannel 2 жыл бұрын

Clockwise turn will increase (+) rotation or arc of head and counter-clockwise with decrease (-) rotation or arc of head.

I would be careful not to make adjustments if all you hear or when you hear gears clicking or ratcheting. Should be a smooth process when adjusting.
