"A Farm can only be watered once a day."
I guess I didn't understand this from the first post, having never had the first irrigation tool. I feel slightly cheated.
Sure, it's great, a 4-day crop is now ready in 2 days - and you'd never see the above in-game message.
But when we plant a 12-hour crop, and irrigate them = 6 hour crop.
When we plant a 2-day crop and try to irrigate them, after we plant them, the message above comes up.
So great, now I'm back to having sticky notes, telling me when I can irrigate my field again, so the current crops get some benefit from the tool which costs 95fc (45 for the first tool, 50 for the second).
Note: and no, the fields don't stay irrigate for a full day. We were told we had to use the tool each time we planted, and we have too - just not in the same day.
I have yet to figure out, is that once in the same 20-hour period (1 FT day), or once per calendar day.

Notice you will not see an immediate change in growth, what will happen is that all crops and flowers in the farm that are still growing will be fully grown twice as fast from that point on.
You can irrigate a plant more than once, but it's growth speed will only double the first time. As before, you can irrigate only once per day. It's OK if someone irrigated your farm that same day.
When you use this tool on other people farms it behaves as if you were using the Brown Sprinkler, growing speed doesn't change.
This tool is an extension of the Brown Mobile Sprinkler, meaning, unlike the Manure Spreaders, you are irrigating the plants, not the farm, so if you plant new ones and you want them to grow twice as fast, you will have to irrigate them after you plant them.
Post Release Changes - Aug 30, 11:15PM EST:
-Brown Sprinkler can now be used to water any farm, not just neighbours farms
-When neighbor irrigate your farm, you can now use the red sprinkler right after that to double plants growth speed
-If you owned the Red Mobile Sprinkler sometimes the Brown Mobile Sprinkler was showing up instead of the Red Mobile Sprinkler
-When using the Red Mobile Sprinkler, sometimes you had to refresh to see the growth speed increased, or after a refresh the increase in growth speed was lost. Some of these issues are now corrected.
