Melnor 65167AMZ XT Turbo Oscillating Sprinkler

New seed needs short, frequent watering across the whole seeded area, and an oscillating sprinkler is the pattern that suits a rectangular lawn or a squared-off bare patch. The XT Turbo throws a fan from 20 precision nozzles, and the part that matters for seeding is the control set: TwinTouch levers adjust the width and the range independently, so you can shape the spray to the actual footprint of what you seeded instead of watering the driveway. Zoom Control trims the overall watering area, and the Watering Width Indicators let you note the setting and return to the exact same pattern the next time — which is how you keep a two-week germination window consistent rather than re-guessing every morning. Set it up so the fan lands inside the seeded footprint on both ends of the sweep, then walk the edges once while it runs to confirm the far end is actually getting wet; the listed 4,500 sq ft is an up-to maximum and your hose pressure decides where the water really lands. It ships as a Quick Connect bundle and carries Melnor's Limited Lifetime Warranty. There is no timer or moisture shutoff on the sprinkler itself, so pair it with a hose timer if you want the cycles to run without you standing at the spigot.
