I would have to say that given the last sentence which reads "... if you plant new one and you want them to grow twice as fast, you will have to irrigate them after you plant them" is in direct contradiction with the sentence which reads "As before, you can irrigate only once per day." How can both be true?

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.
Enjoy!

I think that this is where the frustration builds. Since we paid 50 FC for the sprinkler, many of us thought we were getting the ability to water each crop once it is planted, but that no plant can be watered more than once per day. Given that a new plant is planted, which clearly couldn't have been watered in the the past 24 hours (hence a new plant), and we are watering the plant and not the farm, it shouldn't matter if the farm was watered in the past 24 hours.
Given that this item was $8.00 USD, if you purchased the 250 FC for $39.99, it is only reasonable to expect that it would give you equal or more benefit than the 45 FC Combine and on the same par as the par as the Manure Spreader, which cost the same amount of FC and USD.
Even if it is working as intended, and not clearly stated, we are forced to either leave our farm plots un-planted for the time until the irrigation clock resets, thereby loosing productivity, or give up on the plant's time to harvest being truly cut in half, since we have to wait the rest of the 24 hour time period for the ability to irrigate to rest, and only reducing the time to harvest by half from that point the plants were irrigated, since Raul stated that it is "..from that point on."
For the sake of the game, the Dev's need to rework how this irrigation is working or refund the players their FC. There is not a store out there that will not take a product back that didn't live up to expectations. I'm not asking for my USD's back, just the ability to get my FC back.
