This takes some trial and error to figure out exactly how this needs to be set up for your yard, but basically functions like a complex parameter range on any other sprinkler (even the oscillating sprinklers). To do this, you get a flathead screwdriver and tighten it until you have a good range. Pull down the spring and set the parameters of the sprinkler. Once you’ve got your sprinkler heads attached to your stake and in the spot you want them in your lawn, remove the inner sprinkler component (with the green cap). I bought some plastic stakes and zip tied the sprinkler heads to those. You simply clip on the blue caps to the base hose adaptor connector and screw those on. The sprinkler head set up is pretty straightforward and provided in the attached instructions. This will help kill any tension once you start laying it down. Quick tip: While mapping this out, let the blue hose that comes with the system lay out in your yard and relax and “melt”. I mapped mine out with some yard stakes to make sure it was all even Steven before doing any kind of digging. Orbit recommends a U shape in your yard for you to get optimal spacing and watering. This takes some careful mapping and spacing in your yard. Since mine was on the high end, I am putting each one of my sprinkler heads 24 feet apart. Orbit has a guide that correlates how much pressure your faucet puts out with how far apart you need to set up your sprinklers. If your PSI is above 80, then you may want a pressure reducer as it might be too strong for this system. Just a warning here – if your pressure is below 35 PSI, this thing may be super wimpy and not worth it. Simply screw this on, measure the pressure, and keep note of the measurement. Step 2: Test your hose faucet water pressureįortunately, Orbit sends you a nice little pressure gauge that you can hook to your hose faucet that tells you how much water pressure your hose puts out. I got mine from Amazon and it was absurd how cheap the whole kit was. Going out and digging up a pathway will only bite you in the butt if you haven’t bought the system yet. Sounds obvious, but trying to do any pre-work here will majorly mess you up. Step 1: Buy the system (skip if you’ve already done this) Let me walk you through exactly how I set up my Orbit in-ground sprinkler system from start to finish.
