    I have used various types of sprinklers and it seems to be a theme that they come without instructions. I don't have a lot of time to sit down and figure out how they work, so this annoys me. Am I the only one who feels this way? Is there a brand that consistently provides paper instructions for their sprinklers?

    Also, I might have heard that some brands simply put their instructions online. I am not sure how I feel about this. What are your thoughts on having instructions online?

    I am sorry if this topic doesn't fit here. I wasn't sure where to put it.

    Any sprinklers I've ever bought had instructions on the package. I think online manuals are a great idea!!! I'm not too sure how much time it would take to figure a sprinkler out ... most have an adjustment for the distance they spray, and the range they oscillate. A few have an adjustment for how fine the spray is. Good Luck!

    Sprinklers come with instructions ? How hard is it to connect a garden hose and turn the water on ? :eek:

    I understand your frustration and think companies should still supply printed instructions with their products. What if someone doesn't have a computer at home? I didn't have one (at home) for approx. 8 years.
    Online manuals/instructions are a great addition... but shouldn't be the only resource.
