"Major" problems? Both these factors are directly related to it's
being a sprinkler specifically designed for low water pressure systems
but I don't consider either of the "problems" you mention to be major
(or minor problems either - it just reflects the design which I
believe works brilliantly).
There are few sprinklers which will work giving more than a dribble on
low pressure so I don't consider either of these things to be a
problem because A) it's easy to get the thing level (use a rock or
twist the hose round - they're so light the hose can turn it off its
base) and
B) Farm/rural low pressure water supply is usually designed to have
more head than you describe - town water tanks are usually not put in
with any consideration of head. These sprinklers are ideal for
rural/farm water supply.
I can use them till my garden tank runs dry and they still give a
decent throw of water.
