We have three outdoor water faucets connected to hoses and nozzles. I
use traditional style sprayers for two of them, but really like having
this butterfly nozzle for a side yard that has small gardens, flower
beds and a bit of grass that never seems to do well. I know I’m to
blame—each year grass seed is re-applied, but lack of watering doesn’t
help. The reasons are simple—I hate dealing with hard-to-work-with
hoses and reconnecting the garden equipment that goes on them.
There’s
not much I can do about kinking hoses, but this Radius sprayer
eliminates the need to switch out between sprinkler and sprayer all the
time. Two arms in the handle easily pivot outwards and they lay nicely
on any surface. The sprinkler’s coverage range doesn’t extend as far as
some conventional ones, but the 870 sq. ft. radius is adequate for my
needs. It can sprinkle in either a full circle or half of one. Both
patterns are put to use here—the full circle works well in that hard to
grow grass area, and the half circle is useful for elongated flower
beds. I was a little leery about arms that project out and possible
breakage, but the rotating ball connection points are very sturdy.
Should an accident occur (example—stepping on it) the wings look like
they’d fold back inward rather than break off.
I like using this
as a sprayer too—it’s comfortable to hold and the thumb control for
water flow operates smoothly and easily. The spray patterns are the
usual ones, but instead of words, pictures convey what pattern is being
used when the outer ring is turned. I especially like how well it
connects up with our hoses—screws in easily and there’s a mesh screen to
keep out unwanted debris from going into the hose.
I don’t have a
need for this type sprayer at all the outdoor water faucets, but it’s
the perfect solution for lazy gardeners like me who hate messing with
hose connections and have specialized yard issues. I’ve included
pictures showing the butterfly nozzle’s size compared to traditional
sprayers, its picture display of spray patterns, the nice screen insert
and the sturdy ball connectors that operate the two leg extensions.
