Our Garden Impulse Sprinkler With Spike is a variable water sprinkler with maximum versatility, featuring a pulsating head, which can be adjusted conveniently from partial to full circle, providing full uniform coverage up to 60 feet in diameter for effective long distance watering. This impulse sprinkler is manufactured from high quality solid plastic material and is easy to fit. It is also compatible with all brands. How do Impulse Sprinklers work? The sprinkler head pivots on a bearing on top of its threaded attachment nut. The head is driven in a circular motion by the force of the outgoing water, and at least one arm extends from the head. The sprinkler arm is repeatedly pushed back into the water stream by a spring. The arms impacting the water stream scatters the stream enabling a uniform watering area around the sprinkler.
