Rain TrainTraveling Sprinkler With a rustproof cast iron construction£¬ the sprinkler waters up to 13£¬500 square feet£¬ though covering a lesser area of 11£¬900 square feet ensures more effective performance. The sprinkler arms adjust for varied spray patterns and arcs£¬ throwing water from 15 to 56 feet. The sprinkler waters as it travels along a hose on a preset route£¬ much like an electric model train£¬ except with a hose as the rails. To water£¬ the homeowner lays out the hose as desired£¬ taking care to avoid dramatic corners or turnabouts that may result in hose kinks or a derailed sprinkler. A front wheel runs on the hose with the two traction-ready rear wheels bestride. The hose connects to the posterior of the sprinkler. For the best results£¬ LR Nelson recommends a 5/8-inch hose£¬ though a 1/2-inch hose may suffice£¬ up to 200 feet in length. For sprinkling termination£¬ the user places a shut-off ramp on the hose to lift the sprinkler off its “rails£¬” while simultaneous stopping operation. The shut-off ramp should be installed with at least five feet of hose between it and the spigot. The traveling sprinkler operates at two motor speeds£¬ high and low. On high power£¬ the sprinkler travels approximately 37 feet per hour£¬ with a 1/4-inch water application. On low power£¬ the sprinkler moves at a 21 feet per hour rate with a 1/2-inch water application. The simple installation requires no tools. The sprinkler weighs 18 pounds
