ClaberColibri 180 Degree Micro-sprinkler

Did what it said

Very good, just a word of advice if you bought the starter system and adding this to it, you may have trouble if your water pressure is normal household pressure. We have had to put two systems in with 4 sprinklers on each and a block end on each not a drain, otherwise it would not work.

I thought I would share some observations having installed a number of these (90 degree and 180 degree) to irrigate my lawn.Water Pressure Requirement - I had planned to run two or more of these from a single mains watersource, but found on testing my mains pressure (pressure pretty average in my view) was only sufficient to reliably run one sprinkler at once. To mitigate this I purchased a Gardena 6 way automatic distributor to run the sprinklers sequentially.Coverage Angle - I have found these typically cover about 30 degrees more than they state. This is problematic as I had planned to install them close to the border of my lawn, but I found in this position they soaked the fence to their rear. I mitigated this by moving them approximately 1 foot into the lawn. This was the best compromise in terms of coverage of lawn and minimising water wastage.Coverage Radius - I found this to be approximately 4m. Annoyingly, whilst you can adjust the range, doing so impacts the direction of spray. As such it is impossible to easily adjust this after installation. Instead it is necessary to adjust the range and then pivot the sprinkler at installation, this can be problematic if the input hose does not naturally line up.Coverage - Still a bit early to tell, but my initial impression is the coverage is good close up, and towards the maximum range, but less so in between.Observations - All things considered, if I were starting again I'd just use a series of 360 sprinklers in the middle of my lawn and accept some gaps around the edge. Also, don't forget to purchase the threaded connectors.

Great service, great item and quick delivery.

they work for the right system when installed correctly

Well made and easy to fit

An efficient and good garden sprinkler. Sprays effectively and uniformly, which is important for the grass. i use it for also spraying the borders and plants, and it works effectively. The only reason i have not given it 5 stars is because it does not handle the weather changes well. i installed the sprinklers last year, and had to replace most of them, since the plastic cracked, either due to the cold or constant usage. This is even though i had cleared all water as winter approached and stopped using it throughout winter. the second issue was that the hose, which is also a calibri hose, developed holes at various places during winter and i had to re-dig and replace the hose.

The media could not be loaded. Installed this summer and give amazing coverage. I installed 3 and it covered all areas apart from the shaded area. I hope they last through winter
