Orbit 58092N Port-A-Rain Hose Watering Sprinkler System, Green

I love these old skool sprinkler systems!

These are so hard to find. Bought a set about 25 years ago and I’m still using them. Found these and didn’t hesitate to buy them again. You have to give them a chance before you just look at them and return them. They water consistently and they cover a good area. With the three, and now I have two sets going, it makes watering a breeze. The hoses are flimsy and useless to me, but the sprinklers alone were worth every bit of the price I paid.

Wish hose lengths were a little shorter and a 4th sprinkler option and hose were available. Works well.

Overall a very good sprinkler set for narrow areas and hard to water odd shapes. A few hints. Adjust the nozzles from the bottom using a phillips not from the top using a slotted screwdriver. Take the nozzle off the sprinkler and rotate the phillips head underneath the nozzle. You will avoid damaging the small fragile adjustment slot on top of the nozzle. Take however long it takes (it took me over an hour) to get the flow to be uniform from each spray head regardless of how high the flow was from the hose bib. It is worth it in the long run. Also, go to the hardware store and purchase a 3' long 1-3/8-in Zinc-Plated perforated Steel bar and cut into 3 sections. They will fit exactly on the bottom of each of the 3 sprinklers and when bolted to the sprinklers will provide weight that helps keep them in place and level.

I purchases the hose kit and used it less than 3 weeks and one of the hose ends broke off. It was just in a stationary spot and never moved. The plastic must be brittle.

I am going to give this item a 3-star because it does in fact work for the application I had in mind. So I don't feel it appropriate to give it <50% rating. That said, this product really is very "cheapy" in several senses: 1. The yellow plastic sprinklers could not be cheaper! They are extremely light weight. This itself is not horrible, *except* when you lay them on the ground they don't have enought weight to consistently lay flat. Sure, there are holes for stakes you can use (not included in the kit!), but who wants to mess with all that? I would pay extra for a unit that has much heavier (metal?) sprinklers that sit nicely on the ground when you put them down. 2. The screwed connections between the hose and yellow sprinkers just are not very well made. One refuses to seal at all (if I screw it too hard, it skips a thread). It just leaks, which I live with because I don't mind a bit of trickle watering. 3. The hose between the sprinklers is cheap and not very flexible. It kinks, it won't lay flat, it's too rigid, etc. This makes problem #1 that much worse, because the rigid hose has a tendency to cause the overly light sprinkler heads to sit on the ground at all kinds of odd angles. On a cool morning, you can forget using this thing; the hoses are almost solid and very difficult to get into position! The good news is when you do manage to get it all laid out the way you want and and turn on the water, it does put out a very nice pattern of "rain-like" water. It is perfect for odd shaped gardens in which you set up a nice coverage pattern and just let it run for a while. It is *not* very effective for lawn sprinkling, unless you have a really small, odd shaped lawn that needs this flexibility. Otherwise, for lawn sprinkling you will do better to spend 1/2 the cost on a standard lawn sprinkler of some kind. Overall, I am getting the watering I want out of it. But honestly for the amount this product cost, I would have expected much higher quality (and weight!) in the parts than I got.

Had a similar product when we lived in Corpus Christi TX glad I found it on Amazon. Able to water the whole front or back yard without moving the hose. Works great!

This is awesome! Just wish it came with steaks for keeping the sprinklers in the right spot. Pear this with a auto watering hose adapter and you got yourself a sprinkler system
