1. A watering device comprising:
an inlet valve configured to couple said watering device to a water source, said inlet valve having an on position and an off position; a primary manifold coupled to and in fluid communication with an outflow end of said inlet valve, said primary manifold divides the water flow into at least a first closed channel and a second closed channel; a first continuous tube coupled to and in fluid communication with an outflow end of said first closed channel, said first continuous tube being a first material that is pliable in the temperature range in which water is in a liquid phase, and said first continuous tube having a length sufficient to allow for torsional pliability, wherein said first material is rigidly flexible such that each of said first and second continuous tube sections holds a corresponding shape indefinitely but is easily manipulated into a different shape at the discretion of a user; a second continuous tube coupled to and in fluid communication with an outflow end of said second closed channel, said second continuous tube being said first material, and said second continuous tube having a length sufficient to allow for torsional pliability; a first distribution manifold coupled directly to and in fluid communication with an outflow end of said first continuous tube, said first distribution manifold being a second material that is substantially rigid in the temperature range in which water is in a liquid phase, and said first distribution manifold including a plurality of water orifices disposed thereon that allow water to flow out of said orifices; and a second distribution manifold directly coupled to and in fluid communication with an outflow end of said second continuous tube, said second distribution manifold being said second material, and said second distribution manifold including a plurality of water orifices disposed thereon that allow water to flow out of said orifices; wherein a position of said first distribution manifold relative to said primary manifold and a position of said second distribution manifold relative to said primary manifold are independently variable in both a rotational direction and a torsional direction; and a twist/pivot connector, wherein said primary manifold is pivotally connected by said twist/pivot connector to said inlet valve, wherein said twist/pivot connector is (i) pivotable in at least one axis that is perpendicular to a flow of water in a direction from said inlet valve to said primary manifold and (ii) twistable about an axis that is parallel to said direction of said flow of water. |
