What Is a Nelson Pulsating Impact Garden Hose Lawn Sprinkler?

Nelson Sprinkler Systems

• Nelson irrigation equipment is a great option for the bargain-savvy homeowner. The type of sprinkler system that is best for a lawn depends on the individual needs of the gardener and the characteristics of the lawn. For the average lawn, an above-ground sprinkler system is best because it is portable and low-cost. There are many top-rated sprinkler systems available from Nelson that are perfect for any garden need.

Impact Sprinkler Heads

• One of the most widely used and reliable types of sprinkler heads are impact sprinklers, also known as pulsating sprinklers. Impact sprinkler heads have a type of rotor head that provides more uniform watering than other sprinklers, mainly because it mimics natural rain patterns. These sprinkler heads are adjustable and can cover large areas or small areas, even with low water pressure. Impact heads are also preferred by gardeners because they are wind-resistant and less likely to clog than other types.

Sprinkler Features

• Nelson's above-ground sprinkler bases can be customized to meet the individual needs of a garden. They are designed to attach to an ordinary garden hose and can be mounted in any area that needs irrigation with simple garden spikes, including whole gardens and hard-to-reach areas. They sometimes feature adjustable jets, oscillating heads or a customized timer. Creating a custom sprinkling system with Nelson products is as easy as choosing a sprinkler head and a base and connecting it to a garden hose.

Custom Garden Needs

• Nelson lawn equipment is designed to meet any type of garden need. Larger lawns may require a single spike or tripod base because they provide great stability for powerful impact sprays and allows sprays to reach a larger area. Lawns and gardens with an unusual shape can benefit from traveling sprinkler systems. As with the other bases, traveling bases can attach to an impact sprinkler head, where it then "walks" along the length of a hose using small metal tractor wheels. Light sprinkling in and around areas that are hard to reach may not require an impact sprinkler, but would benefit instead from a sprinkling hose. These hoses look just like regular gardening hoses, but they have tiny holes all over that "drip" water onto the surrounding plants.
