A greenhouse operator years ago told me about this spray nozzle.

It does work extremely well. You turn it in a smooth motion to go from fine rain shower to almost a power wash. What I don't like about mine, and they may have changed it by now, as mine is t least 10 years old, is that it does not have immediate on/off. You have to twist it. This does not have "settings" like some hose end sprayers that might have 6 different spray patterns. This is one smooth turn until you get a pattern and flow rate you like. So, each time you twist it off, you have to locate the sweet spot, again, for the flow and spray you want. That is the only downside to this nozzle for me, though.

My workaround for that is to put it on the end of the newer Dramm water wand, then put a shut off valve between the wand and the hose when I need to use it for a lot of watering.

I don't have an irrigation system and have a well. So, I water "by hand" meaning that I go up and down the rows of daylilies with the hose.

This nozzle will put out a lot if water, yet can be set to be gentle on the foliage.

Wonderful tool for power washing dirt from dug up daylily clumps prior to division.

I bought the stainless, and it is heavy!
