Clogged nozzles are the most common cause of nozzle failure
Here, we will explain the four most common problems of print heads and how to solve them.
Blockage
Clogged nozzles are the most common cause of nozzle failure. This kind of problem is usually easy to solve and requires more observation in many cases.
Look for the clogging point of the nozzles. These nozzles sometimes do not spray water and the speed is very slow. In some cases, the nozzle cannot be raised completely or not at all.
There are several different types of clogging, depending on the location of the sprinkler and surrounding conditions.
Debris on the nozzle surface
The debris accumulated on the top of the sprinkler head will enter the nozzle. This may be small blades of grass left by frequent pruning of vegetation. This is the problem. Simply wiping off the debris from the nozzle is enough to prevent clogging.
Dirt accumulation
Sometimes dirt will accumulate in the sprinkler sleeve. A large amount of dust accumulates in these areas, and the nozzle cannot slide upward normally. This eventually caused the nozzle to be completely stuck and the nozzle could not be raised as it was. To some extent it is a simple wear problem, the more frequently it is used, the more common it is. It is more common to raise dust in areas with heavy traffic.
Debris in the screen
The debris will flow into the nozzle over time. There is a lot of debris stuck in the screen under the nozzle, causing the water flow to be cut off.
Fixed obstacles will be different. Sometimes, wiping the nozzle clean or pulling out a piece of debris can solve the problem. Some need to remove the nozzle or nozzle to clean the various parts. There are other cases where a new nozzle needs to be replaced.
mist
In systems with large fluctuations in water pressure, atomization is a more common problem. The pressure forces the water to spray out of the nozzle too quickly, which produces a very fine mist instead of the steady spray that the nozzle should produce.
These tiny water particles; move in the air in a different way. If there is a problem with the sprinkler, the problem will be noticed after the system is running, and there will be dry spots, wet tree trunks and branches, and water on the sidewalk.
The appearance of mist in an area can reduce the flow to that specific area. If you cannot solve the problem, you can consult your irrigation expert. Some professionals recommend installing valve pressure regulators to help maintain pressure balance, as well as throughout the system. After getting professional guidance, the problem can be solved.

5 Tips For Buying a Garden Hose
Every home in America eventually will find many uses for the good old garden hose. Before you purchase one however, consider a few of these tips.
1. Decide what length garden hose is right. Hoses come in 25 foot increments. How large is your yard For small yards, a 25 footer may be all you need. Keep in mind though that they longer the hose, the lower the pressure will be when the water finally reaches the end. If you have front and back yard spigots, consider two 25 foot hoses, one for front and back.
Another question to consider is how far from the water supply is your garden If your garden is at the end of your back yard and the only spigot you have is in the front of the house, a 100 foot hose might be the only option. Keep in mind that hoses link together easily so an additional 25 feet in length is achieved simply by link another hose to the end.
2. How much do you want to spend Like everything else, you do get what you pay for in a garden hose. Hoses can vary widely in price. Expect to spend about $20-30 for a good quality, multi-ply 50-foot hose. Prices may be higher for top-of-the-line, durable flat garden hoses.
3. Don't buy a cheap garden hose. You'll regret it later. Poor quality hoses have a very short life expectancy and are prone to kink up when in use. Hoses are constructed from one to six plies. A 6-ply garden hose will last along time as long as it is properly stored in the winter. In the long run, a quality hose will be your least expensive option.
4. Check to see if the hose you would like to purchase carries a good warranty. Most reputable companies will guarantee their garden hoses from leaking or cracking for a reasonable amount of time.
5. You may want to seriously consider purchasing accessories such as a sturdy garden hose reel. There is nothing worse than having to wrestle with your hose every time you use it. A garden hose reel will make things much easier when its time to call it a day and clean up. Simply wind it up and store it in the garage or shed.

Garden Hoses For Gardening and Other Chores
If you have a big, beautiful home garden, chances are, you have a garden hose. A garden hose also known as a hosepipe is basically a flexible rubber tube that carries water. Although garden hoses may also be made from polyurethane or vinyl, rubber is the most popular material used. Attached to a spigot or a tap, water hoses are useful gardening equipment making watering a lot easier and faster. You can attach a number of things at the end of your garden hoses. Sprinklers and sprayers for example, concentrate or de-concentrate water to one point or over a wider area.
Fashioned from synthetic rubber or durable soft plastic, garden hoses have an internal web of fibers that makes garden hoses flexible and their smooth exteriors make for easy maneuvering between, around, and past trees and other obstacles. And because of their inherent durability, garden hoses can withstand scraping, scratches, even being stepped on without damaging its functional use.
Garden hoses are actually the simplest method of irrigating your garden. But if your garden is quite large, you might benefit from having multiple garden hoses attached end to end. The threads at each end of a typical garden hose easily connect with one another.
Hoses are normally classified into categories depending on usage, toughness, durability, and overall quality of materials used. Garden hoses can be either of three kinds:
Light Duty. Light duty garden hoses are made of lightweight material and can be handled quite easily. You can use a light duty garden hose for fairly light gardening chores or light house cleaning. This type of hose is easy to move around and drag to different places. It can be wrapped around in a spool after use. It is usually made of hard plastic or rubber.
Medium Duty. Medium duty hoses are ideal for general watering purposes. Resistant to kinks and generally durable and flexible, medium duty hoses are good for watering your lawns or washing your car. Most also come with at least a five-year warranty.
Medium duty hoses can give out enough water pressure to take out hardened dirt in hard to reach corners. Although a bit heavy, this is very useful in working with big lawns or gardens.
Heavy Duty. For tough watering chores, use a heavy duty hose. Very kink-resistant, heavy duty hoses come with heavy duty brass octagonal couplings. They're also extremely flexible. Heavy duty hoses can handle all of your typical watering chores such as gardening, car washing, etc. This type is perfect if you use your hose heavily as most heavy duty hoses come with lifetime warranties.
Other types of hoses are available for various uses and purposes. Generally larger and made with materials tougher than garden hose rubber, some of these types of hoses are employed for industrial purposes and are able to handle intense water pressure.
Whether you're a professional gardener or just doing it as a hobby, pick out a good garden hose to have handy. It should serve you well in the garden and for various other chores you might need it for.

Which Kind of Sprinkler Should I Use at Home?
If you find yourself scrolling through dozens of sprinkler options online while looking for the one that has everything you need, don’t let it discourage you. You don’t have to be an expert on all things irrigation to find what will work best for you — that’s what we’re here for.
What kind of sprinkler should I use at home? We want to help you find the sprinkler that will best suit your needs. However, no matter which sprinkler we help you choose, you won’t be disappointed. All our sprinkler options are made with commercial-grade sprinkler heads that will stand the test of time. They are reliable and durable, but — most importantly —sprinklers like these can’t be found in your local hardware or big box store.
What Kind of Sprinkler Stand Do I Need?
On our website, you’ll find three main "bases†for our commercial-grade sprinkler heads available for residential use. The heavy-duty sled base, the tripod or quad adjustable stands, and our most popular — the wheeled sprinkler cart.
Heavy-Duty Sled Base Sprinkler
These Heavy Duty Sled Base Water Sprinklers provide a commercial type product in a residential size. These sprinklers were specifically designed with the flow rates and water pressure usually found when using your home’s garden spigot. It also has the smallest footprint of any of the commercial options we offer, making it easy to store since it is compact.
When you select this base option, you have the choice between a green baked-on, powder coat finish or our hot-dip galvanizing process in which the sled has been submerged in molten zinc alloys to form a non-corrosive, scratch- and rust-resistant barrier between the metal and the wet environment.
Tripod Sprinkler
If you have raised beds full of vegetables or flowers, the tripod base sprinklers could give you the flexibility you need. The adjustable height of the base helps your sprinkler rise above obstacles and other plant life to get the water you need into the proper areas.
Each of the legs features the telescoping action and can be adjusted as needed for stability. This option gives you the choice of a quality commercial-grade sprinkler head, but also isn’t as heavy-duty as the wheeled sprinkler carts, while still delivering irrigation to your greenery within a 90 plus-foot diameter in a residential situation.
Wheeled Sprinkler Cart
Our most popular irrigation solution, the 1000 Series Wheeled Sprinkler Cart, is the largest and heaviest-duty sprinkler system we offer that is used for most residential uses. It connects to your home’s spigot and to ¾ inch standard garden hoses. Made with heavy gauge steel, solid steel axles and your choice of a commercial-grade sprinkler head, this durable product is still versatile and flexible due to the simple wheeled construction.
This option is great for your large lawn, garden, or hobby farm, and works equally well for your horse arena and little league fields. The portability allows you to take this irrigation solution anywhere you need more water.
These options are best suited for use in a residential situation. If you’re looking to move more water or to irrigate larger areas, check out our larger wheeled sprinkler carts. The 1250K, 1500H, 2000S, and the 3000R are good options to research if you want something more than a residential irrigation solution.
Which Kind of Sprinkler Head Should I Use?
Now that you know more about the bases, it’s time to select the right commercial-grade sprinkler head to go on top of your base. There are three main options to choose from and each function best in slightly different conditions.
Impact Sprinkler Head
This is one of the most common types of sprinkler heads, and more than likely you recognize how it works. As the water flows through the impact sprinkler head, an arm bouncing off the mainstream drives the sprinkler head to turn.
However, as the arm hits, a small amount of water sprays directly around the sprinkler each time, which if left in one spot for a long period of time can create a concentrated wet area. For some applications such as dust control in your arena this can become an issue. Being mindful of this when using an impact sprinkler for certain applications will help to reduce this being an issue and still accomplish the task you needed it for. The impact sprinkler is the most user friendly and easiest to adjust between full and part circle patterns.
Rotor Sprinkler Head
Rotor sprinkler heads are driven by internal gears and are often referred to as gear drive sprinklers. Since they are not driven by an impact arm like impact sprinklers, it results in smoother, gentler performance and a more even water distribution across your irrigation area.

Stainless Steel Vs Other Water Dispensers
For this article, I would like to focus on stainless steel water dispensers and water coolers. Aside from the benefits of having fresh purified water on demand, these sleek and stylish stainless steel water dispensers offer a beautiful touch to just about any decor.
These free standing dispensers come in several models.
Bottom loading dispensers: Allows you to load bottled water from the bottom of the unit and it pumps up to the spigots. This is a very nice style because it does not take as much strength or effort to replace when the water gets low. In fact, with these bottom loading dispensers, you just might be able to avoid a painful back injury by not having to lift heavy bottles above the waist to your chest.
Top loading dispensers: These conventional dispensers have been around for a long time in both the home and office settings. Unlike the bottom loaders, these dispensers require a bit more strength because you actually have to lift them up and place them on top of the dispenser to refill them. A downside to these dispensers is that many times when replacing the water, you end up spilling and splashing water around. Nobody likes cleaning up a mess.
Direct Connect Dispensers: These types of connecters are very nice to have however, they require a bit more installation due to the fact that they use a water line tied into the plumbing, usually somewhere under the sink. Like the refrigerator dispensers, these direct connect dispensers also have built in filters that need replaced on a regular basis.
These different types of stainless steel water dispensers can be used in both the home and the office depending on what look you are after and how much room you have to spare.
Many people think of the office when they hear water dispenser or water cooler. That is because in the office, these dispensers can create quite a wave. Many people have been known to flock to the water cooler in hopes of finding good conversations during break time and to catch up on the latest office gossip.
Another good reason to own and use a stainless steel water dispenser is because of the known fact that stainless steel containers are by far more hygienic than most other materials that are used in appliances for dispensing water.
Many companies offer water bottle deliveries for a fair price directly to your home and office for your water dispenser. You might also find a local company that fills water bottles. Some places even offer sodium free water for those with certain health concerns and issues.
Next time you reach for a glass of tap water, ask yourself this: Is this the purest, tastiest and most refreshing water I can drink right now?
Then when you realize that your drinking water could be so much better, give your local water dispenser guys a call. Ask them about their Stainless Steel Water Dispenser selection. You may find one that is a perfect fit for your home or office.

How to adjust the impact sprinkler
Impact sprinklers are located on rotating bearings, and when water flows over them, they can rotate to achieve full 360-degree coverage. If you want to adjust the impact sprinkler system to change the pressure, spray method or water arc, several methods can be used. The simplest solution is to control the flow of water at the source. You can also adjust different parts of the head, such as diffuser pins, sports collars, and deflector guards to get the correct strength and trajectory.
Adjust the flow at the water source. The easiest way to change the amount of water flowing out of the sprinkler is to tighten (clockwise) to tighten or tighten (counterclockwise) the faucet that connects the hose. Opening the faucet to increase the water flow will increase the power and coverage of the water flow, while reducing the water flow will limit the coverage of the sprinkler head to a smaller area. When you want to avoid damaging delicate plants such as flowers and leafy shrubs with strong spray, use a lower water flow.
Change the position of the diffuser pin. The diffusion pin is a large screw, which is fixed on the bottom of the nozzle. If you want to reduce the distance covered by the nozzle, please tighten the pin clockwise until it is above the nozzle. For more concentrated water flow, please loosen the overhead nail completely or remove it completely. When inserted, the diffuser pin splits the flow, causing it to emit a fine spray or mist. The farther the pin extends from the opening, the shorter and wider the spray time.
Raise or lower the shroud. Rotate up or down the flat metal square mounted on the body of the sprayer head (just next to the diffuser pin). When the stream hits the downwardly sloping mudguard, it will be redirected to a lower arc, which is perfect for watering nearby plants and grass. If you are watering from one end of the lawn or garden to the other, keep the protective cover of the deflector upward. This will allow the flow to travel in higher arcs and cover longer distances.
Use the friction ring to change the spraying method. Screw the metal clamps wrapped around the nozzle head to different positions to determine the movement of the nozzle. The closer the collar, the narrower the watering range. As the sprinkler rotates, the wire at the bottom of the head (called the trip pin) will push up against the clamp, which reverses the sprinkler. Make sure that the trip pin stays within the range you want to set for the sprinkler. This way, you can water the roses and plants outside the house without closing the front porch or garage door.
Flip the trip pin to fully cover 360 degrees. If you want to keep the nozzle rotating, just lift the trip pin until it is close to the nozzle. It will then be able to emit water in a smooth radial motion. If your sprinkler system is in the center of the area you are watering, it may help to remove the trip pin.
Adjust the distance control dial. Some impact sprinkler models have a separate dial that allows the user to manually set the desired spray distance. If your sprinkler has one of these dials, turning to the left will reduce the force of the water flow, while turning to the right will pressurize the water flow to further deliver the water flow. [7]
The approximate distance should be clearly marked in feet or meters in order to easily obtain the correct coverage.
Assuming your sprinkler does not have a distance control dial, you can get the best customized spray by patching the water pressure, diffuser pin and deflector guard.
