Sparge spray

[G-Town Brewer]

Thinking about adding a sparge arm/spayer to my kit before I start brewing.

Has anyone tought about/already using a garden lawn sprinkler or oscilator as a sparge sprayer? Seems that they would be perfect, but haven't come across any info on using them.

Something like this Sprinkler or this Round Sprinkler

The only concern from me would be the practicalities of sterilising, and whether this is food grade plastic - would there be a risk of hot wort leaching chemical compounds from the plastic?

doubt they're food safe - sterilising isn't an issue as sparge is preboil

I tried one a while back - a floor mounted one which i chopped up and inverted - but even connected to a hosepipe on full blast it refused to rotate upside down.
