That boomless nozzle is sweet! I want one.

I tried to get fancy and include a link from the teejet online catalouge, but I couldn't make it work.

So, Ile just tell ya (and you can go to teejet.com, click support, then buyers guide, then like the first thing on the list, and then scroll down to page nine) QCK Quick FloodJet 100 is my favorite nozzle, pushes 10-20 GPM at 10 - 40 psi. Its awesome. I can walk like a gentleman, and spooge a 10K sqft lot in 20 min easy, never lookin back to go over and over an area. Its got a swath up to prob 15-20 ft, depending on yur angle, of course angling up like that youd wanna slacken the pace abit. I figure on a two or three mile an hour stroll. Yaknow, cool as a cuke, no stress.

I also use their stream jet (I think thats the name) spray tip when I wanna put a rooster tail up into a tree; gets about 70 foot up, does a nice job at 7GPM as I recall.

I also use the tip when Ime out doin like a soccer field (that doesnt have irrigation). This alows me to take less steps and drag less hose. Walk 2/5 the width of the field, travel legnthwise down the field, revolving around, doin the human pivot, getting that half the field and bench area, then come back. I put down 500 total G. Half of that probably qualifies as well in range tea. Takes approx an hour twenty min to spray. Then ya got set up and break down which isnt much. I think a soccer field is approx. 50K SQFT maybe if you include an area of 10Yds beyond the sidelines? It may also depend on the level of play performed on the field.

Anyhow, Pioneer Equipment in Butte, AK has a line of these automated rolling watering canons of various size that shoot water in all directions while progressing forward under water power (pressure). I think you can even use the hose as a track for the thing to follow. Set that puppy up, fetch a lawn chair and a glass of lemonaide and yur stylin. Catch up on yur Bible.
