Tools and Hardware Reviews of Walking Sprinkler - Cast IronCustomer Review: Good sprinkler - Built like a tank Summary: 4 StarsThe Rittenhouse is a very well built unit. Nice and heavy which is good for these types of sprinklers, helps them to maintain traction. Not a bit of plastic on this thing, no cheap gears to strip when dragging a lot of hose behind it. The water distribution seems very good and even. This thing is built like a tank when compared to other walking sprinklers. If you want a sprinkler that you will use for years and years, this is the one. The only down side is that it doesn't have an automatic shut off like some other similar units, you just have to keep an eye on it till its done. This means you can't turn on the sprinkler and leave or turn it on and go to bed because you have to be there to turn it off. I guess you could put it on a timed valve that would turn off the water at a set time, which I may do, but in my case the sprinkler does not always travel at the same speed due to varying water pressure depending on neighborhood water usage at the time. So it might be difficult to time but we'll see.
Description of Walking Sprinkler - Cast IronSince 1938, these rugged sprinklers have been built to last. The Walking Sprinkler creeps along on cast iron wheels, using the hose as its track. The Walking Sprinkler can be set at high speed (40 ft/hr, putting down about 1/2" of water); low speed (20 ft/hr, putting down about 7/8" of water) or be used as a stationary sprinkler. The adjustable sprinkler arms provide water spray coverage from 4 feet up to 50 feet wide over the entire length of the hose. To use, lay your hose through the middle of the area needing water, gentle curves around bushes, trees and corners. A 5/8" hose is best as 1/2" hose may be to small to guide the sprinkler around some corners. The heavy duty model weighs in at 30 pounds and has the strength to pull standard 5/8" diameter garden hose with overall hose lengths of 250 to 300 feet. Made in the USA!
