Alright so after dealing with some leak issues and countless hours of making different sprinkler head modifications and mix n' matches I finally found something that gets a solid mist all around from top to bottom without leaking...


Its the simplest idea, but the subtle difference is the key thing..

Just adjusting the flow on the head I was not able to keep my tub leak-proof, so I have had to do some serious experimentation out of my bin of supplies..

I flipped the screw around the other way to change the way the sprayer works, its supposed to do some huge radius.. so instead of letting it spray out that far the screw head is squeezing it in a little bit more and sending it upward at the top of the top then it bounces right back down onto the roots, so its indirectly misting them, rather than blasting them.


I had been using this gravity misting concept for a few days but I couldnt seem to get it to spread out as much as I wanted. I was just blasting it up through a tiny hole into the tub and letting it splash around.. But now I have it spread out quite a bit so the mist is all over the place, but not out of control.

Leaking isnt an issue on the tub that has a 200 gph pump, thats the sweet spot for these tubs I think.
