Reading all of the troubles and issues with the sprinklers brings up a question I'd like answered if anyone can do so. I have never bought either sprinkler, but now I find I could use the benefits of the brown one. I certainly do not want the red one for sure, so if I purchase the brown one and NOT the red one, will the brown work and water flowers only as it was originally designed to do? Or is it now just plain useless regardless?
Thanks.
