Impact Sprinkler Heads Won't Reverse.

K2

Seems my impact sprinkler heads stop reversing after a year or two. I've tried changing the pressure and tried a few different brands with no luck. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

Have you tried just using a regular Rain bird 5000? or is that not enough volume for you?

I think that is the one I use. One that was stopped for a month sudenly came back to life and is working great.. I think I need to learn how to take these apart and put them back together again. I havn't tried yet. Thanks for the response.

A RainBird 5000 isn't an impact rotor, it's gear driven so that it doesn't matter how much pressure, it will still turn. If it is a Rain Bird and itis an impact it is probably a maxi-paw. Ona Maxi Paw you can adjust the spring on the hammer( has 3 settings and comes from the factory at the tightest spot) to a lower setting. Hope this helps, I could show u in less time than it took to type this lol..
