25PJDAC

Great item, replaced an old unit that had a broken spring. Works great and lasts many years!

We had telescoping sprinklers that we bought last year (different vendor) and the sprinkler part quit working on all three that we had. I ordered one of these to check it out and my husband said it’s much better than the original sprinkler head, so I’m back again to order two more. These are well made and we are very pleased with the functionality. With the name Rain Bird how could we go wrong.

It is nicely made. One of the best made sprinkler that I have purchased. The brass sprinkler and the plastic sprinkler are not the same design. If you look at the picture you will see this. I have had the plastic sprinkler for over a year and really like it. It has zero black splash and I really like that. The brass sprinkler has more back splash, not really bad, but not even close to the plastic sprinkler. The plastic sprinkler is prone to breaking. The screw in adjuster that controls the drop size and distance broke on one of the plastic sprinklers. I replaced the screw with a identical thread screw. I ground off the end to a sharp tip. The spray on the brass sprinkler has a little bit better spray pattern. I may just buy more of the plastic sprinklers.

UPDATE JUNE 2019 - I've had two of these sprinkler head for over three years and they are still going strong. That is at least three times longer than any other brand sprinkler I have tried. For folks with low water pressure, or using surface water irrigation pumps, these are the only choice. Of course, they work great for everyday residential applications with city water, too. ORIGINAL REVIEW - JULY 2016 I irrigate my lawn using surface water pumped out of a shallow lake behind my home. The additional solids present (i.e. algae, sand, debris, grit), as well as the inconsistent pressures seem to play havoc with most of the impact sprinklers I have tried. The big box store brand sprinklers I tried wouldn't oscillate right out of the box, as they often hit the first stop and stopped, literally. I finally found the Orbit 56667N Tripod Base Impact Sprinkler on Amazon, which worked at the required pressures; but then it stopped oscillating after the first season. I ordered this Rainbird (with ½ inch male fitting) to replace the Orbit head on the tripod, and the difference is staggering. The Rainbird is by far the highest quality sprinkler head I have tried yet. I have used specialty Rainbird heads in industrial applications, so I knew they were a well-made product. Rainbird doesn’t make many sprinklers that aren’t for use in irrigation systems, which is why I didn’t go with Rainbird from the beginning. I am glad I found this replacement head, and I will be making another base connection, so that I can order an additional Rainbird head for use at my second spigot feed. See below for additional details of the Rainbird 25PJDAC. MATERIAL QUALITY – 5 STARS The difference between the brass Rainbird and the Zinc Orbit was staggering. The Orbit brand sprinkler was made of junk Chinese potmetal, whereas, the Rainbird had high quality brass fittings with bronze and stainless steel. The Orbit model was based on a similar design, but taking the two apart revealed that the materials were not even close. Even the washers on the male fitting were far superior on the Rainbird model. COVERAGE AREA, SPRAY PATTERN, & OPERATING EFFICIENCY – 5 STARS These will cover a large area. Best coverage are of any sprinkler head yet, which cuts down on time spent moving sprinklers around. This model sprays at least 10 feet further than the previously mentioned Orbit sprinkler. The stops also stay put better, but yet somehow are easier to adjust with a single hand, compared to the Orbit. Rainbird is also capable of true 360 degree operation, whereas, the Orbit model is not. Compared to other sprinkler styles, impact sprinklers have a much more efficient spray type, and their adjustability makes keeping the water where you want it much easier. NONPOTABLE WATER CAPABILITY – 5 STARS As previously mentioned, this sprinkler head handles surface source water better than any model I found. If you irrigate from a pond, creek, lake, or other surface impoundment, then this is the sprinkler head you are looking for. It also handles low water pressure very well, so it would also be a good choice for those drawing source water from wells. VALUE – 5 STARS Fantastic price for such a high quality sprinkler. I haven’t seen high quality materials like this one has in residential grade sprinklers in years, yet the price is cheaper than most plastic impact sprinklers you could find at your local lawn & garden or big box chain stores. You will need to purchase a base for the head, but even still, at this price you can’t go wrong. THANKS Thanks for reading my review. I hope it was helpful.

This is very, very nice! Beautifully sprinkles evenly even with our little test spray! It was easily put on my old sturdy base and though it was stiff before I hooked it up and turned it on, it was perfect once the water was turned on! The brass is very good quality and will last us many years! No plastic at all!!! Not one tiny piece! I would highly recommend this product.

Very nice brass impact sprinkler I was not impressed with their sleds so I purchased one from a different company. I have a feeling it will last for a long time.

I purchased a total of 21 Rain Bird 25PJDA-C brass impact sprinklers from this store for my 3 acre property and I could not be happier! Not only does this Amazon store have the LOWEST prices for this particular top-end model from Rain Bird anywhere on the internet or in stores by far, but each time I ordered they arrived quickly, packaged well with each sprinkler being individually bubble wrapped, and always absolutely brand new and sealed in the original manufacturer’s packaging. These impact’s installed easily and with no issues and throw the water farther than anything else I’ve seen or tried on the market. I HIGHLY recommend these if you have a large space to cover (especially in windy areas) as they do not waste water by misting it into the air, are adjustable by pitch, degree of coverage (0-360 degrees), and distance - and not to mention they just look BEAUTIFUL! You can tell how high quality they are just by holding one. Heavy, well-designed, and as a bonus they just sound GREAT! I love waking up at 6:00 AM to watch them run and listen to the impact’s ticking back and forth. Overall 20/10 product and 30/10 customer service and Amazon store. 100/10 recommend!!!

They’re GREAT when they work properly, all modes of the cycles engaging and working properly. Three stars may even be a bit high, but I based it on the two that DID work. I returned the two that didn’t and had no problems returning them within the allotted return window. I held back, because I wanted to try everything I could…changing out the piping and couplers until finding one that allowed the unit to rotate, if it was going to. There’s a definite ingenuity in how they should be installed, and the manufacturer needs to pay a WHOLE lot more attention to details in the instructions. The breakdown of the parts identification suffers, as well. Also…DON’T tell me to start taking the nozzle apart (the manufacturer will do this to you when you call the help line) to make sure there’s no blockage inside! How about, MANUFACTURER QUALITY CONTROL BEFORE IT LEAVES THE FACTORY?! OH…and guess where they’re assembled. I bet you only have ONE OR TWO GUESSES, and you’ll be right. You bet, I’m a bit cynical about imports. Be aware of junk, and I believe RAINBIRD NEEDS TO BRING ITS BUSINESS BACK TO THE MAINLAND USA. Just my opinion, and if you’re offended, well…. The proof is in what quality USE to be vs what it is now.

Los mejores aspersores de impacto. Los baratos te saldrán caros pues al año empezarán a atascarse y a no hacer los giros correctamente, estos si aguantan y funcionan a la perfección. Valen la pena.

Estoy muy decepcionado de que uno de los Rainbirds haya dejado de girar correctamente después de menos de un mes de uso una vez al día.

Great sprinkler head. Can definitely tell the quality of the build and material. I have no doubt this will last for years to come.

Bon produit de qualité

**Hervorragende Wurfweite und sehr hochwertige Verarbeitung** Der Sprenger hat mich vollständig überzeugt. Die Wurfweite ist herausragend und deutlich besser als bei vielen anderen Modellen, die ich bisher verwendet habe. Selbst größere Flächen lassen sich damit zuverlässig bewässern. Besonders positiv ist, dass der Sprenger auch mit Teichwasser problemlos funktioniert. Trotz der möglicherweise enthaltenen kleineren Schwebstoffe arbeitet er bei mir zuverlässig und gleichmäßig. Auch die Verarbeitung macht einen ausgesprochen hochwertigen und robusten Eindruck. Ich konnte keine Kunststoffteile entdecken; der Sprenger scheint vollständig beziehungsweise weitgehend aus Metall gefertigt zu sein. Dadurch wirkt er deutlich langlebiger und belastbarer als viele vergleichbare Produkte anderer Marken. Für alle, die einen leistungsfähigen, stabilen und voraussichtlich sehr langlebigen Sprenger suchen, ist dieses Modell aus meiner Sicht eine klare Empfehlung.
