So I bought a new oscillating sprinkler because my old one was all clogged up and stopped oscillating.

So I just got one of these:

left, right, center, and full. It makes the water oscillate between the left and center, the right and center, around the center to the left and right, and all the way to the left and all the way to the right.

Yeah, looks like that might not be a good choice.:O Their sprinklers have always worked great for me though.

All the oscillating sprinkler reviews look like that. Probably because you cant get anything that isnt made without cheap plastic **** anymore.

It's possible it could be low pressure. Take it back and try another, if it still doesn't work it's a problem somewhere else. Maybe there's a leak in your hose? heh

I bought one from Atwoods that looks to be the same brand. It was closer to fifty bucks though. It does work however.

Check the if the plastic arm is connected to the rotating face. If that is not connected, it will not rotate. Also, get down on yer knees and pray to the god of sprinklers.
