Easy to Install Automatic Sprinkler System
If you are tired of hassling with hose and sprinklers and getting poor results from manual watering, this new automatic system is a perfect solution. The first professional-grade Rain Bird sprinkler system designed for homeowner installation, it provides everything you need to keep your lawn green season after season while saving water.
The system attaches to any outside faucet and includes six high-efficiency rotary sprinklers with patented Rain Curtain™ nozzle technology. The same sprinklers used in professionally installed systems worldwide, these rugged sprinklers deliver a rotating curtain of water with large droplets that fall quickly to avoid windblown overspray and to cover evenly from head to perimeter for reduced overall watering time. Simple adjustments for spray rotation and distance help you keep the water on your lawn and off the house, sidewalk, and driveway.
Controlling the sprinklers is Rain Bird's heavy-duty timer with a large readout screen and simple scroll settings for automatic watering any day of the week and up to two times per day. Flexible scheduling allows customizing your settings for specific needs such as watering slopes where two short cycles will allow the water to soak in better, avoiding runoff waste. The timer also features manual buttons for "Water Now" and "Cancel" watering without affecting the program. An illustrated manual shows the 5-step installation process as well as example sprinkler placements for different lawn areas.
