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.

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.
