Flow Technology built-in for precise distribution minimising dry spots, proportionately reducing distance vs. water flow whilst using 30% less water. See Full Description
The Patented Intelligent Flow Technology® is operated from a simple valve that allows distance and water flow to be reduced simultaneously and proportionately up to 50% for even water distribution within your full control. The ideal garden watering solution that prevents water wastage and helps to conserve the earth’s precious water resources by using less water and promoting water delivery exactly where it is required. This innovative technology also means fewer watering zones are required as the redesigned nozzles offer better zone performance and ensure uniform watering with no dry spots.
Saves Time on Garden Watering
This superior performance sprinkler allows you to create an irrigation system tailored to your garden layout without forfeiting performance. Adjust the sprinkler radius without having to spend time changing the nozzle – simply adjust the flow control valve to the required spray pattern for increased productivity on every job. The location of the flow control device, directly behind the nozzle maintains water velocity and high pressure allowing the nozzle to reduce the litres per hour incrementally maintaining a uniform discharge pattern. This innovative sprinkler also allows for complete water shutoff operated directly from the sprinkler head.
Easy Arc Setting
The RPS 75i has a fixed right start and an adjustable left stop. It arrives with a pre-set 180° arc setting and is preinstalled with a #2.5 nozzle. The full and part circle rotation arc is easily adjusted and realigned between 40° to 360° spray by turning the dial to the fixed right starting position. The turret top features an adjustable flow and distance control slot that can be altered using the RPS key (not included) to ensure the arc and flow rate are reduced proportionally so the spray pattern does not overthrow the garden bed.
Durable Pop-Up Sprinkler System
Manufactured with a five-year warranty and designed to provide year after year high performance and low maintenance. Engineered from corrosion and impact-resistant heavy-duty ABS plastic for superior structural strength and enhanced weatherability for an underground system that can be trusted to last. The stainless steel spring is built for positive retraction of the riser when irrigation is complete ensuring protection against surface damage.
Low-Pressure Pop-up Irrigation System
Functions at optimal pressures between 2.1 – 4.8 bar making it the ideal solution for larger gardens and at home irrigation, small commercial and professional pop-up irrigation systems.
Underground systems require frequent flushing to prevent dirt from clogging the nozzle or damaging the seal. Flush the system and clean the rotors if necessary to remove any sitting sediment.
Any damage to the riser caused by a mower or footfall will cause mechanical malfunction and disfigured spray patterns. Check each nozzle and turret top of your sprinklers to ensure they are intact.
The area around a sprinkler site may become boggy/waterlogged indicating a loose connection between the swing joint/fitting or a break in the pipe network. To repair a leak, use a Compression Joiner/Joiner depending on the pipe used or install PTFE Tape around any male threaded connection to ensure a watertight seal.
Water leaking from sprinkler sites even when the system is switched off indicates a problem called low head drainage. A pop-up sprinkler with a Check Valve will prevent water pooling from sprinklers installed at the lowest elevation.
My Sprinklers are
not Working the Same as when Purchased!
Over time a sprinkler may experience a build-up of sediment and debris that blocks the nozzle outputs or damages the riser retraction mechanisms inside the sprinkler. Flush the system and clean out the rotor sprinkler as explained in our Sprinkler Maintenance Guide.
Prevent debris build-up by installing an Irrigation Filter at the start of the system. • Alternatively, leaking connections or a pipe supplying the sprinkler may have split. The water lost from connections that are not watertight will cause pressure loss and reduce performance.
Why are my Underground
Pipe Connections Leaking?
An area that is boggy or waterlogged indicates a leaking connection or a pipe that may have split. Most connection points can be tightened by hand or by adding two wraps ofPTFE Tape around male threads or replacing connectors that over time, have snapped.
When fixing your pipe network, depending on the pipe you are using to supply your system will indicate the type of connector you need to repair the damage.
My Sprinkler Does Not Cover the
Range/Radius Outlined in the Specifications
A variation in flow rate or pressure drop from the water source will also reduce the performance of sprinklers – Check the flow rate from your tap remains high enough during the time of day your system is set to run using our Calculating Flow Rate from the Water Source Guide.
On windy days, the spray pattern from your sprinklers may alter even when using nozzles with built-in wind resistance. Alternatively, running a system at a bar pressure that is too high, will create misting – Consider installing a Pressure Reducer regulated as specified in the sprinkler specifications to minimise spray pattern wind drift.
How do I Lift the Riser of a Pop-up Sprinkler?
To lift the riser of a rotor sprinkler, most require a Key inserted into the turret top of the sprinkler to lock into the mechanism and allow easy uprooting of the riser by hand. Any maintenance or switching of nozzles is often carried out in this way. Alternatively, ask a friend to switch the system on manually and catch the riser as it lifts during system operation.
