Perfect for irrigating large lawns, the Gilmour 999TP impulse sprinkler features a canon-size, extra large sprinkler head and adjustable tripod for optimal irrigation coverage. The tripod legs extend up to 58 inches for clearing shrubs or broadening the spray diameter. Spiked feet resist the force of the sprinkler and stay put even in high winds. Weighing just five pounds, the sprinkler is easy to move from site to site. Made of a combination of brass and zinc, the metal head is built for years of reliable irrigation. --Brian Olson

 sprinkler June 20, 2008
The sprinkler has preformed as expected. I have only been using it for a short period of time.
 Excellent lawn watering equipment October 23, 2007
The gilmore tripod impulse sprinkler works well, covers about 45 feet radius. No problems with less than ideal water pressure - the hose used is 5/8 inch id, length 200 feet.
 Happy, then Sad September 24, 2007
Same experience as many other reviewers. I was initially thrilled with this item, although the screw used to set the height never did work correctly...after an hour or so of use, the vibration would work the telescoping shaft all the way down and I'd have to go out and raise it again.
However, after one summer of relatively moderate use (maybe 15 hours per month for about 4 months) it has gone haywire. The clips used to set rotation have inexplicably become so loose on the shaft as to be useless. Plus the thing leaks like crazy.
I like the concept, but I'm not crazy about this version of it.

I had my doubts after years of throwing away sprinklers that never lasted more than a few weeks. I bought two of these and they've been working continuously 3 times a day for over a month without any problems. They are completely adjustable and really do have a large circumference if you want it.
I am running them on well water with a pressure tank set at 40-60 psi. I can't run more than one at a time and still get the distance I need, but with one running it performs extremely well. I bought a timer ($40-$50) that controls up to four hoses and that sets the cycles.
The only comment I have about the product that could be improved is that if you fully extend the legs they become a little wobbly. It isn't a problem because there really is no reason to fully extend them since it's plenty tall. The "step-in" feet and adjustable legs work great and make for a very stable platform.
Good at first, does't last July 22, 2007

I was very pleased with this sprinkler when I bought it last year when our regular sprinkler system needed a new pump. It worked just as advertised and was not hard to set up. This year, however, almost everything stopped working and it developed leaks that were hard to fix. Sometimes it rotates - sometimes it doesn't, and the range is greatly truncated, partly because the control seems welded in place. Sometimes, there really isn't even a spray, but just a fountain - and the system pressure is fine. Perhaps, we didn't treat it right - it was left outdoors in the fall and spring - but you'd think a 65.00 sprinkler could tolerate that. Not something I'd recommend, but perhaps with more compulsive care it would last longer. Who'd have thought that one could diagnose his personality type by the state of his garden sprinkler?
