Like others have said, this is probably the most informative video I've seen on sprinkler adjustments -- and the first one ever that revealed the ability to swap out nozzles! I never knew that and have worked on my own sprinkler systems before. Kudos on the video, Silver Cymbal! (As the "Professor" mentioned below, very good instructional technique - good verbal information with synchronized visual explanation. As a DIYer, I especially appreciated the little PVC mock-up stand you put together to show a rotor head in a working, out-of-the-ground demonstration for clarity. That was an extra step and bit of effort you went to, that was appreciated.)

You are one of the best video teachers out there, all subjects. Very few people would take the time to assemble an above-ground sprinkler as you did, solely for delivering a 100% clear video on the topic. And you stick to the point. Thank you for this great video series.

They are secrets to me! As a retired college professor, I must compliment you on your excellent instructional video. You're a master teacher!

I notice that there isn't really a "seal/gasket" around the inserted plastic nozzle piece, and you can see water 'leaking' / streaming down the side of the head, causing puddles. Is there a way to fix that? I had this issue with brand new Saturn III heads. I tried making adjustments with that screw, which seemed to help hold the nozzle in better.. I am thinking I could take the nozzle out, and wrap it with some Teflon tape, and then re-insert it. You can really see what I'm talking about at 1:36 (Watch the water running own the black cylinder head)

Thank you so much.. Some one gave me a set of sprinkler heads and i had no idea how to control the distance. I searched and searched for almost 2 full hours and finally gave up. Then your video shows up. It is very well documented, detailed and answered all my questions. !! Many thanks

I think some people get intimidated by in-ground sprinkler systems. They are very easy to work on and adjust. Thank you for putting together these type of videos!

I did not know about the nozzles, that they can be replaced. I have a few sprinklers that need this. I thought I was going to have to replace the sprinklers, again, but now I won’t. Thank you.

Can you please do an equally clear tutorial on how to set left and right limits?

This is the absolute best video I have watched regarding sprinkler heads. Thank you for providing this information. So thrilled that the amount of water flow can be adjusted simply by changing one tiny part of the sprinkler head. Very interesting.

Thanks silver I had no idea that the number on the nozzle corresponded to gal/min.

This was very helpful. Thank you. You told me in minutes what I’ve been struggling with for years

Thank you. This helps to where i moved in to. An acre and a half with a creek fed watering system. Ive been learning by trial and error. This is little tid bits of information that is helpful. Thanks again

Great video, very informative. I would like to learn how to control the watering angle of the sprinkler. I mean 45, 90, 180 and the full circle

Hands down best tutorial and for that reason I’ve SMASHED the like button until it turned blue and subscribed. Thank you!!

This is amazing, thank you! I just installed an extremely DIY system with no experience. I had no idea you could change out nozzles. I thought I had to swap out the entire sprinkler head!

Thank you.... never realized the nozzles could be switched out? Unreal. Probably just saved me a few hundred bucks to fix several problem issues with my system. Keep up the great content.

This is the best sprinkler video

Very informative I got more information in this short time than I got from the manufacturer. Thanks

Thankyou ,Orbit's inclosed instructions had me baffled

Excellent video...just moved into a new home with an automatic sprinkler system.. now I learned something new...tks!

As a new home owner this is the video I have been looking for!!!! Well done.

This video has improved my watering so much. Thank you for doing this video on how to improve the sprinkler head

This is excellent info on adjusting water flow that most videos do not cover. Easy fixes. Great work!

Learning about the clip holder was great! Many times I tried holding the nosebleed head to make the adjustments! Both hands free is very wonderful!

Excellent Video, Having the sprinkler attached to a base platform was excellent to see all parts of the sprinkler up close. Your video was not jumping around and easy to view. Excellent precise instructions, good clear voice and sound quality and no background wind noise or music. I am going out right now and change a flow nozzle. Thanks so much for your time and effort to produce a top-notch video.

Thank you so much. This is the best informational video on sprinklers I've watched on KZfaq.

Very clear explanation and instructions on adjustment, cautions . Best information so far. Thank you and more power to you for sharing. D.T.

Can’t thank you enough. You have saved me hundreds of $$$ with you tips. Thank you so much!!!

Nice. Thank you. How do you adjust side-to-side settings?

Thank you to the point with a close up of the rotor head . Very helpful

Thank you! I searched and searched for this information. Subscribed.

A picture and word perfect instructional video. Thank you.

Didn't know about the nozzle replacement, how cool is that? Awesome!

Outstanding instructional video! I had no idea the sprinklers could be adjusted or the nozzle changed. Now I can do this myself instead of hiring someone which is very expensive. I really appreciate you sharing this video :)

Great, understandable explanation. I had my lawn and sprinkler system redone last October so of course I didn't find out the sprinkler system wasn't covering the entire lawn until now. I've been researching how to fix this and you had the answer. I just need to get one of those adjustment tools. Thanks!

THANK YOU for explaining how to adjust the stream length!!!!

What a useful video! Very informative. Also inspiring. Thanks very much.

Good video but I have a couple of comments. 1) one thing you didn't take into consideration is if the system can handle a larger nozzle. So say with your current pressure and gpm you can only run 8 gallons a min per zone. If your zone has 4 heads 2 gpm nozzle size by increasing nozzles on that zone you will loose pressure. 2) the best way to get even coverage is to do an irrigation audit. Set up little cups in your yard. Run all zones for 30 min then measure how much water in each cup, times that by 2 and you will figure out how much water you are actually putting down per hour. Then you can adjust from there. Remember in the heat of summer in full sun you need 1.5" of water a week depending on soil type. I just did this with my system and realized I wasn't putting down nearly as much water as I thought I was.

Thanks for explaining the instructions by making a video. I guess folks will watch this instead of reading the instructions👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

A you kidding me!! For years all I have done is try to control the stream with that tool but I had no idea the dang nozzles could be replaced. Now I have lots of brown spots in this Texas heat and could have avoided it. Thanks for this video!! I’m off to find the clip and lots of replacement nozzles.

Totally wicked video! Awesome, I enjoy watch this video and definitely I will buy it soon thanks 😊👍😁😎

Excellent video.... Tip: If you get dirt in the set screw hole in the small hole inthe rubber cap. You need to clean the dirt out so you cabn use the tool. You need to use a water hose on high power to clean out the dirt so you can adjust the set screw and therefore adjust the spray pattern using the tool.

Nice demonstrations. Thank you,

Wow Had no idea it could be that simple Thanks

the best Sprinkler Head Fix video

great basic information about the sprinkler system... thanks

Thank you for that information. We just had a new sprinkler system installed and that will be very helpful.

Super great info once again. I'm on board for all the tips in various videos. Thank You

Not bad. You should also include that obtaining optimum du (distribution uniformity) can be done with nozzle selection. Ie if one head is set at 180 degrees and another is set at 90, then the 180 should have a nozzle twice as large as the 90. For example if I use at 2 on a 90 then I need a 4 on a 180. BTW I'm a certified irrigation technician with the I.A. (the irrigation association).

AMAZING video! I just got a sprinkler system and all these little tricks are just fantastic. I cant wait to perfect each sprinkler to the max.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you

Thanks for explaining what the nozzle numbers mean.

Running to home depot THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

You're pretty awesome for educating me. Very helpful! Thank you sir!

Very helpful and I appreciate seeing it close up, step by step! 👍

Very clear and informative video. While I knew you could buy sprinklers with different output, I didn't know you could interchange the nozzles. The only additional piece of info that would be helpful would be the range of outputs available. What is the least output and most.

Very well done and informative. I have had a system for years and am just now starting to replace some of my Hunter PGP rotors. I needed a good tutorial and thank you for providing it.

Excellent video. Didn't realize I could adjust the range

I'm so happy I subscribed to your channel. I'm learning so much!

Thanks. Now I understand picking (and installing) the correct nozzle. I needed that.

Great video. I learned something new. Didn't know I could replace the nozzle.

You create the best lawn videos, thanks

Thanks, just got sprinkler system, good to know!

Great video...did not know about the head clip to keep above grade.

Great tutorial on sprinklers system adjustment. Just what’s I’m looking for. You’ve earn a sub 🙏

Thank you! I wondered if that key thing was to adjust the sprinkler heads! I had found it inside the sprinkler control box, which I can’t get working correctly, but I watched your video anyway and learned a valuable tip!

Excellent video, I absolutely learned a great deal about the nozzle and the tools involved to adjust them.

Thanks I’m really thankful that I’m learning so much from you thanks

Good information thanks

Thanks!

Thank you. Brilliant job on explaining.

Very informative thanks !

Very useful tips. Thanks for posting it.

Hell ya baby great stuff!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastic video, I have been looking for info on this. Probably the best I've seen....thanks

Excellent video. Great tips and advice.

Great tutorial, to the point with good view of the product

Finally learning the tricks that no matter how much I paid the professionals to do, I remained unsatisfied with the results!

Outstanding.

OMG! Great info. Thank you so much for sharing this information!

thank for the excellent tip on sprinklers heads

Wow, this is very detailed, thank you for sharing and teach us, very nice videos!!!!!

Outstanding video! Thank you.

Very educational, thank you!

Very thorough description and tips. Tips for which nozzle results in what kind of spray pattern would be of interest.

Very nice informative Vedio Thanks

Thanks now that I know how to make adjustments on my system.

Thank you!!! Most helpful. Exactly what I was looking for!!!

Great explanation as its done ..Thank you sooo much

Thank you - very well done.

fantastic information! Thank you! I think you just saved me at least $150.00

Very informative video. Thank you

thanks.......very simple to understand.

Mine are RainBird and use a flat tip screwdriver for all of it's adjustments. I check them all the time

This helped a lot. I have spent a lot of money on our new backyard. The lawn still gets too brown.

good informative video. Two additional comments....the screw adjustment in the head not only controls the distance. It provides a more uniform coverage when screwed down a bit more. If your throwing max distance on a head....typically you aren't getting as even a coverage from the head all the way to the max distance. Also, the rate at which the water goes down is also dependent on the number of degrees the sprinkler is set up for. Meaning....if a head is only watering a 90 degree area, and another sprinkler in the same zone is throwing a 300 degree pattern....the head only watering the 90 degree area will have put the same amount of water (assuming its the same type/same nozzle GPM), but to a smaller zone, hence....more water in a smaller area for the area.

Great video, is there an adjustment for how far the head rotates from left to right? I have one head that shoots half its rotation on my driveway but shortening the distance with a nozzle change will leave the other half of the rotation short on the grass. Thank you in advance.

This is how to make a how to video. Great.

Thanks alot!

Is it better to keep the line on a 3/4 or 1/2 Inche if I have 75 psi pressure? I put 2 that do 180 degrees , and 2 voyager II , I feel like the voyager is not pushing as well as your video thanks
