I have replaced some, if not many of them already after 4 years but not because they were really trouble just they lived through their life cycle. They are not expensive, BTW, so it wasn't a problem. Each time I redo my landscape I may change the type of sprinkler head to accommodate a new position to water my flowers.

BTW, we do not water much in the wintertime, the grass is dormant so have no idea what that poster is suggesting.

Good luck and enjoy your house and watch out for scams.

I think that the post about running the system when it gets below 32F has to do with the water in the lines no freezing and breaking the lines.

I've heard people say that they don't water much in the winter. Personally, I don't water much in the summer. It rains almost every day here from June-Sept. I shut my system off and water once in a while if we've gone a week or so without rain.

I water about once a week the rest of the year.
