Questions & Answers with Sproutman

Dear Sproutman: My sprinkler does not spin.

Why?

First of all, the sprinkler does not need to spin order for the sprouts to get watered. The black trays are designed to spread the water evenly to all sprouts. That being said, if there is an obstruc- tion somewhere that reduces the water flow to the sprinkler, there won’t be enough water pressure for it to spin. (See also next question.) I recommend you first test the sprouter withonly the water barrel and the green water pressure tube. Make sure there

is a strong fountain coming out of the tube. Once you achieve the fountain, replace the sprouter barrel on top of the water barrel and insert the green water tube. Observe the flow of water without the sprinkler head. If the flow is good, then add on the sprinkler. If it still does not spin, something may be clogging your sprinkler. Change to your secondary sprinkler head. Clean the first sprinkler head to remove any obstructions.(See p. 10) Also sprinkler heads can experience wear and tear and should be replaced if the water is no longer spraying evenly from its holes.

Dear Sproutman: I am growing two sprout barrels, and they are growing fine, but my sprinkler won’t spin.

This is not surprising. First of all, make sure that the opening of the water pressure tube is closed. The water has to travel two stories high and the longer trip reduces the water pressure. You may have had spinning before, but how well you make the connections from barrel to barrel and from tube to tube affects water flow. Also, (see above) use a pin to clear any obstructions in the sprinkler head. Check your sprinkler. It’s just a law of physics. The sprinkler head must spray evenly from all holes in order for it to spin. If your sprinkler head has gotten hurt and is spraying unevenly, replace it with your backup sprinkler. Usually, that solves the problem. Also, check and clean the green tubes and adjust the water pressure (see p. 10). Remember, it does not have to spin to grow a beautiful crop.

Another standout characteristic of the Tribest FL-3000 is its versatile design. It features a wide feeding chute, allowing users to feed in whole fruits and large vegetable pieces without extensive preparation.
