Oscillators are ideal for watering large to extra large rectangular areas. Easily slide the two tabs to adjust the spray distance from a full coverage to a partial coverage, allowing the sprinkler to conform to an array of yard lengths. The wide base has been designed to make repositioning easy and to reduce tipping during watering. Designed with precision nozzles, water is distributed evenly over the entire area. The plug at the end of the spray tube can easily unscrew to reveal a clean-out tool used to clear clogged jet nozzles.

We offer free standard shipping on orders over $50. Most orders ship within 3–5 business days (placed before 12 PM MT, Mon–Fri). A tracking number will be emailed once your order ships, and you can also check order status in your account.

Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

What warranty does it come with?

Many reviewers mention a lifetime warranty and report the company honors it promptly with free replacements.

Does the oscillating mechanism stay reliable?

Most customers report good performance, but several have experienced the oscillating gear stopping or getting stuck after weeks to months of use. Many reviewers praise its smooth motion and even coverage when working properly. The company offers warranty replacement for units that fail.

How evenly does it distribute water?

Reviewers consistently praise the uniform, even coverage across the spray pattern. One customer specifically noted it maintains a smooth, consistent motion with no lag at the ends, which helps avoid overwatering at the edges like some other sprinklers.

Is the metal construction durable?

The heavy-duty metal base is well-regarded for its sturdy build quality. However, several reviewers noted that the zinc interior of the hose connection can break easily, making the sprinkler unrepairable if that part fails. Many customers express confidence the unit will last years with proper care.

Will it cover a 4,000 square foot area?

Yes; the rectangular spray pattern is designed to cover up to 4,000 sq. ft. Reviewers confirm it delivers excellent coverage for large areas, with some using two units to effectively water a 1,000 sq. ft. garden, suggesting it performs well within its rated range.

Is it easy to adjust the spray distance?

Yes. The product description notes that tabs slide to adjust spray distance, and the base allows easy positioning without tipping. Reviewers describe it as simple to set up and control, with spray distance adjustable by water pressure as well.

Is customer service responsive if it fails?

Multiple reviewers praise the company for quick warranty replacements and excellent customer service, including one-click online claim processing. Several customers report receiving replacements at no charge when units failed, highlighting strong post-sale support.

Is it quiet when operating?

Yes. One reviewer specifically noted that the sprinkler is quiet, and multiple customers describe it as a reliable, well-functioning product without complaints about noise.

Oscillating sprinkler Pro Series 4000

This sprinkler has given me nothing but problems every time I hit one ,, called in to warranty and they sent me 2 new ones and guess what they worked for about 15-30 min and then stayed stuck in one position . Called warranty back and they told me they they had already been warranted and couldn’t warranty them again even tho they had just sent them to me . Would not recommend these sprinklers

The oscillating sprinkler did not oscillate

The oscillating sprinkler did not oscillate. This was a replacement for an orbit sprinkler I had purchased last fall. I use a sprinkler 2-3 times per week. These pricey products continue to fail. Frustrated and not a fan.
