OG exemplary drawing
 
1. Apparatus comprising:
a rotatable water distribution sprayer including
a base, wherein the base includes
a body,
wherein the body includes a generally cylindrical internal cavity,
wherein the cavity extends along an axis,
wherein the body includes an outlet body end, wherein the outlet body end includes an outlet body end opening,
a hub,
wherein the hub extends in the cavity and is rotatable about the axis within the cavity,
wherein the hub includes a nipple end, wherein the nipple end extends axially outside the body through the outlet body end opening, and is configured to be releasably engageable with a manifold inlet of a manifold including at least one outlet nozzle that is radially disposed from the axis,
wherein the hub includes an axial passage therethrough, wherein the axial passage fluidly extends from within the cavity through the nipple end,
a brake,
wherein the brake is in operative connection with the hub and operative to apply a selectively variable brake force that resists rotation of the hub in a hub rotational direction,
wherein water discharge from the at least one outlet nozzle is operative to produce a rotational force operative to overcome the brake force and cause the hub and manifold to rotate in the hub rotational direction.
