Built-in matched precipitation and 4 pre-installed nozzles allows you to alter the angle/trajectory of output for more efficiency with fewer nozzles. See Full Description
HydroSure, in partnership with K Rain, have created a multi-functional pop-up rotor sprinkler designed with unequalled value compared to leading brands that will perform trouble-free and stand the test of time. Featuring a water-lubricated gear-drive that minimises the impact of wear on the internal mechanism over time. This is combined with the rubber turret cover that seals out dirt for increased product durability ensuring a long-lasting and reliable pop-up sprinkler system. The sprinkler also features easy clean mechanisms that can be extracted and cleaned during system maintenance.
Water-Saving Irrigation
A rotor sprinkler ideal for low flow applications. The ideal garden watering solution that helps to conserve water through delivery directly to plants roots. Low flow sprinklers are designed to be operated for longer periods of time to prevent surface runoff and water evaporation.
Easy Arc Setting
The RPS Select 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 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 riser can then be re-positioned so the arrow points to the required start position. Easily re-align the arc so the sprinkler spray pattern does not overthrow the garden bed using the RPS Select Key (not included).
Matched Precipitation
Choose between nozzles 1 to 4 using the nozzle selector – the distinct markings on the top turret and the arrow indicator allow you to easily view which nozzle is in operation. Each built-in nozzle delivers the same precipitation rate from each sprinkler and, as water flows within the system it is divided equally between each sprinkler. This matched precipitation allows you to create an easily measured irrigation system with plenty of spray pattern overlap for exceptional performance against any dry spots ensuring well-irrigated plants.
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.
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 of PTFE Tapearound 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.
