Just moved into this house. Trying to get the sprinkler system sorted out. Two problems though.
First pic, bare pipe coming out the ground. I take it there is supposed to be a fitting to screw a sprinkler head in? 
Second and third pic. It's a half circle spray. Sprays like shit though. Real heavy, not misty. I adjusted the screw, still no good. Unscrewed the spray head and cleaned the filter too. I'm hoping I can just somehow replace just the spray nozzle? This head is surrounded by tree roots, and digging it up will be a total bitch.

buy all new sprinkler heads at ace or home depot for 10 bucks. |

yup. You need to test in sprinkler and see if there are any clogs/obstructions. I redid sprinklers in last house and two of the PVC pipes for the sprinklers were filled with dirt. Don't know how. I had to replace all the spankers and adjust them too easy but tedious project |

How is that pattern adjusted? If you're able to find the same brand/model of sprinklers, you should be able to just replace the top/guts of it, keeping the body in place, screwed into your pipe runs. Might save you some digging now, but roots will eventually leave you no choice. |

If you pry/pull up the pop up circle in the middle and hold it up, you should be able to turn the very top portion to increase or decrease the spray pattern.
