INGROUND SPRINKLERS WITHOUT LAYING PIPES
Yorktown, VA - A new type of inground lawn sprinkler system that needs no trenches for
underground pipes is being marketed by AutoWater, Inc., a local company. The new sprinkler
system is easy to install, easy to adjust and easy to use. And it's available at a fraction
of the cost of other inground sprinkler systems. It works off a garden hose. By using a
patented adapter attached to an inground sprinkler, the homeowner merely snap-connects a
hose at ground level to the inground sprinkler.
The saving in equipment costs is fantastic! An average-size lawn of approximately 10,000
sq. ft. can be watered by an inground sprinkler system purchased for less than $200. Not
only can the homeowner save thousands of dollars in costs over a totally inground system,
he can take it with him when he moves.
This new inground lawn sprinkler system promises to be a big advance in the lawn care
market because it meets the need of an entirely untapped market segment - homeowners who
hate dragging sprinklers around, but cannot yet afford a totally inground system.
While the patented device can be attached to almost any brand of sprinkler, AutoWater,
Inc. is selling it in combination with K-Rain’s ProPlus Sprinkler as a Quick-Snap Sprinkler ™.
"The ProPlus is a professional quality sprinkler. It’s the simplest and easiest sprinkler
to aim with precision," says Vivian Hylton, AutoWater’s president. "And with a spray distance
of up to 40 feet and an flow arc from 40° to 360° , its the most versatile, too. Two sprinklers
can cover a 40’ by 60’ yard.
"The difficulty for most people with end-of-hose sprinklers," says Hylton, "is that they have
to continually move their sprinklers around to water their lawns. But once the Quick-Snap Sprinkler
is buried, it never has to be moved or re-adjusted. The user has only to aim the sprinkler once.
When it's not in use, the pop-up sprinkler automatically retracts and the adapter is folded down
to ground level. Then, he can mow right over it.
Each sprinkler comes with instructions and hose connectors. For more information, call (757)
