WATERING WAND

[cre8ivbonsai]

Just a note of caution for some people; I tried (purchased and retuned) a DRAMM wand a couple of years ago, they appear to be a very good product, however I had to return due to our low/unpredictable water pressure (a result of being 1 of 5 units on the block). These work best with decent, consistent mains water pressure. (Although I didn't try their smaller head, which may need less pressure)

The best widely available alternative I've found is https://www.masters.com.au/product/9000 ... -inch-46cm _ I've found it to be: comfortable, robust, and functional, with the wide 'shower function' best replicating the DRAMM head (obviously not quite as soft/drenching).

I've also had a japanese brass wand, which was excellent - soft and drenching, but found the head damaged quite easily (especially underfoot )

Might try one of these http://bonsaisensation.com.au/product/j ... wandlarge/ next

you are a champion. I've bought 3 of these wands of late and were not fine enough spray for delicate trees. Looked at this website and there they are. Thank you.

Ryan, I had the same issue as you originally, I tried the 750PL yellow head which was only marginally better, but the 170AL Water Breaker Head is the way to go - works a treat now!

so guys which head does every one recommend before I buy one?

[Josh]

I bought one of these the other week and it's fantastic. Lots of water flow but gentle. Works a treat. Dramm heads fit it too if you want to change them.

Josh which head did you get?

Josh which head did you get?

I just used the head that came with from Masters, it's silver I think. I have a Dramm head but it's too direct and to much force. The Dramm head is the 1000 narrow. The head that came from masters is fantastic.
I figured for $13 it's worth a try. I'm going to grab a couple a stick in the shed so I have spares.

Josh what is the dram head from Masters do you Know?

Josh what is the dram head from Masters do you Know?

Masters don't sell dram heads. This wand is a knock off version of the dram. I think the cheaper head works better than the dram heads I've used. It's a softer flow but plenty of water.

Thanks Jase, might be worth a shot, I returned the original dramm wand because my local supplier didn't have any additional heads that I could try. But last weekend bought an Orbit "M@ster's special" on Josh's recommendation ($8 clearance special @ Knox) but had the same water pressure problem ... so if the dramm heads are compatible ...

I know you can order the heads online from Forestry Tools, but I think I may have actually grabbed mine from Garden World in Keyborough

Ahh, Ok thanks

1000PL is definitely the nozzle to go for if you have the water flow rate/pressure to drive it. It may be difficult for some people who use a long 30+ metre 12mm hose, switching to a shorter hose and/or 18mm might do the trick.

Cheers,

Did you find out if the Dramm heads are compatible with the Orbit Masters?

Sorry Homer, I ended up returning the Orbit to Masters, as I couldn't be bothered with the running around, especially if it didn't fit or if I got the same result
