Rustoleum makes a great rust remover, get it on Amazon hard to find in hardware stores.

Hi Nikki, you can use CLR (calcium lime rust remover) to remove the rust, then maybe just rinse off the house with clear water after using the sprinkler to keep the stains to a minimum. You may be able to put a sealer on the house to reduce the staining as well.
Many wood deck “ brightners” will remove rust stains. You need a deck brightner, not a deck cleaner or a deck sealer. Deck brightner restores original color of the wood, it gets rid of the weathered gray color. The oxalic acid in the brightner works on rust stains. Test on an inconspicuous place on siding and concrete.
