Rain Bird P5RLSP Impact Sprinkler, Full Circle, 25-41 Feet

Very happy with the purchase of this Rain Bird Sprinkler! I’ve used other branded sprinklers for years and some worked ok and some not very well. We have a well water system so our pressure does fluctuate and I run 2 sprinkler heads together that use 100’ of 5/8” hose. These Rain Bird Impact Sprinklers throw out a great amount of water and have not suffered when the water pressure briefly is reduced until the reservoir tank pump kicks in. They truly can throw out water 40’.

So far so good. Easily adjustable. I have only run it for maybe 6 hours so far.The spike is very nice and appears strong, no sign of fatigue yet.This sprinkler head already lasted longer then the last cheap Orbit unit I got on clearance. The sprinkler head itself also seems well built.I just bought another bare Rain Bird sprinkler head of this model to use on the spike leftover from the defunct orbit model. That shows my level of confidence in this unit.Jay

Great alternative to an underground sprinkler system without the need to dig a trench and at a fraction of the cost.I have been using these for almost a month. I've installed two in my front and two in the backyard. The water pressure at my house is decent enough to use two at once. Being that it can rotate at a very wide angle, your coverage is very adequate.The side splash prevention isn't as perfect as Rainbird claims and it still hits the sidewalk or driveway but it's not that bad. The impact sprinkler is easy to use and versatile. Easy to connect to the hose to the metal spike and the spike itself inserts to the Arizona clay soil very easily (it rained a few days prior to installation which is probably why it was easier to plant the spike).This was a major upgrade compared to an oscillating sprinkler with a fixed range and lots of water mist being carried away by the wind, which wastes water. The impact sprinkler delivers a strong stream with fat rain droplets. The only considerable con would be that it's a bit loud since it's an impact sprinkler but I don't mind it at all since I don't hear it from inside.Although this may seem expensive buying them at $20 per sprinkler, it's very worth the cost. If the sprinklers break, you can just buy the actual sprinkler and replace the old one and keep the spike. I'm glad I gave this a try! Hopefully they'll last a while.

I bought these Rainbird sprinklers along with these Orbit 56351 Zinc Impact on Metal Step Spike, 2-Pack. I personally like the Orbit one better because it is made of all metal. The plastic parts of the Rainbird works well and it does hit 360 degrees as advertised, but I just think metal parts will last longer. It's only the top head of the sprinkler including the green piece that's plastic, but it holds up well. I give this 4 stars because it works as advertised but the quality could be a bit better.

This is not a 'cheap' water sprinkler but upon reading reviews I decided to spend more to start and hope it was worth it. At the same time as I made this purchase I picked up two $9 sprinklers at the big blue home improvement store after just two months I can report the Rain Bird is the only one still performing perfectly. The quality of build is better than the price might suggest with proper metal spike, brass coupling with a stainless inlet screen something all sprinklers should have while sadly most will not. The range of motion, distance achieved and capability to quickly adjust pattern makes this the clear choice for a yard lawn watering duties (or garden if you place on pole or tripod). I would love to have two more of these and when I can afford them this will be my choice. Wish I could have my money back wasted on the $9 Orbits, because Rain Bird is the best.

Best sprinkler I've seen in years. Lots of junk out there. Plastic heads for minimal corrosion and beefy carriers with stay put spikes.

This cheap plastic head does not properly adjust the "water throw' distance. I have turned it every which way and it does not move the upper flapper into the flow stream for distance control. I have been force to use the plastic set screw to make this adjustment and it is difficult to do. I have had many of these plastic heads and they have all been able to adjust water flow distance by simply turning the top round adjustment knob. This one does not. I do not recommend purchasing this product.

Two of these covers our medium-smallish front yard. They have great coverage and are pretty simple. Usually, the less moving parts, the better with these things. One of these did fail after about 6 months, the water wasn't spraying very far and it wasn't rotating any more. We didn't hesitate to get another one though.

Hands down the best sprinkler I have used. Lots of adjustments to control watering pattern. I have has multiple neighbours ask me about these units and they have gone and bought the same.

I've tried a few different types of sprinklers through the years, and this is the model that I've settled on. The spray is fairly even and consistent, they're reliable, and the impact function never fails (I've had problems with other brands of sprinklers getting stuck). My oldest one is about three years old and it's still going strong.

Very sturdy, feels well made. Does exactly what I needed it to do.

Overall, I like this sprinkler because shoots far even on my 40 PSI well water pressure tank. It covers a lot of area when I can get it set up properly. The green knob on top that adjusts the distance does not do much and I sometimes have to smack the deflector down to get it to spring up fully so it doesn't block all of the water.The metal base is very solid and can be purchased alone at a cost that makes this sprinkler a good deal. If I ever change the sprinkler, I will keep the base to use with the new one.

Super easy to set up and use. Awesome above ground sprinkler system.
