- There are a variety of different lawn sprinklers that differ in their watering method.
- Circular sprinklers can be set up and water the surrounding grass using a rotating head
- Square sprinklers consist of tilting spray nozzles through which the lawn can be watered in all directions.
- Multi-surface sprinklers consist of a spray nozzle that uses pressure to create a wide stream that irrigates a targeted area.
- The pressure of the spray nozzles can usually be adjusted so that the lawn sprinkling can be adapted to your garden area.
- Lawn sprinklers are recommended during warm months when rainfall is absent or infrequent to ensure plants receive enough moisture.
- Sprinklers should only be turned on during the evening hours on hot days, as wet grass tends to burn under sunshine.
- A lot of watering should be done several times a week, rather than daily and less. Grass can store water well in the roots.
- Regular sprinkling of the garden gives the lawn a greener color and is generally healthier.
- In addition to the beautiful appearance, the roots are also deepened as well as strengthened.

FAQ About Lawn Sprinklers
A rule of thumb is that lawns should be sprinkled for at least 45 minutes. On open areas, the lawn sprinkler should run for 1 to 2 hours. If watering is too short, the water will not sink deep enough into the soil to reach the roots.
The basic principle of a lawn sprinkler is that spray nozzles rain water onto the surrounding lawn area to water the grass during dry months. Lawn sprinklers differ in the type of spray system, here we distinguish between circular, square and multi-surface sprinklers.
Due to the generated pressure of the connected pump, the head of a circular sprinkler rotates at regular intervals to ensure even watering.
Common lawn sprinklers use between 500 and 800 gallons of water per hour. Large models use more.
