I had to replace eight Sprinkler Head today and was very glad I saw your video. The method of using water to create a nice tube to pull the old sprinkler out and slide the new one in WORKED GREAT! Saved a lot of time and digging. Thank you.

Thanks for this video, very well done. I screwed the adjustment screw up all the out of the head of mine and water was just gushing out. I just needed an easy DIY video to replace it tomorrow

Great tip about pouring water in the hole before removing the head!

I actually used your method today to replace the sprinkler head and it was about five minutes worth of work. The idea of water around the dirt one had came out the other one slid right in tightened up I just had to adjust it. Thank you so much

This is the video that I needed. I literally dug up some of my sprinkler heads last week to replace them. Definitely following these instructions for the remaining heads. Thanks!

Much simpler than the way I've been doing it. I'll give it a try (and I even have a Hori Hori). Thanks

A couple of things I noticed while watching the video: 1) Aligning the right edge. Some heads say to align the left edge. The way you do it is the same, just read the instructions on the replacement head to know which edge to line up. Once this is done, turn the internal adjustment screw to set the other edge while the sprinkler is running. 2) The front adjustment screw doesn't change the flow. The nozzle size does that. The adjustment screw changes the distance that the stream shoots out of the nozzle, not the rate of water flow.

I live in Florida and the ground is mostly sand. That was a great idea of pouring water around the sprinkler. Thanks!

Fyi, if replacing with exact same sprinkler, then u can leave the shell in place and just replace the guts.
