For over 25 years we have supplied customers with sprinkler products that they intended to use to create their own defensible space wildfire sprinkler systems for their homes outbuildings and property. Many planned on using them on their roof tops through a series of individual or daisy chained garden hoses. We had seen many products come to market that were premade using essentially the same design and principle. The problem we saw with these systems were one, the time and danger involved in installing them on your roof once the danger presented itself and two the deterioration and aesthetic of them should you choose to leave them in place long term.
Following the devastating Los Angeles fires, we decided to build what we believe is the finest quality, fastest, and most cost-effective way to apply water to your roof and surrounding landscape in hopes of saving your home from flying embers.
Introducing the Ember Pod tripod sprinkler depending on your home size 2-4 Ember Pods will cover your entire home and unlike center rooftop mounted sprinkler with the proper psi and gpm from your garden hose you will be wetting up to 50ft of your trees and plants surrounding your home! No need to climb on a slippery steep roof in possible windy conditions.
PROS
*Installs in 5 -10 minutes, nearly anyone can install the Ember pod
* Waters up to 95-foot diameter circle watering both the roof and vegetation surrounding your home
*Unique gutter bracket drops over gutter will not tip over in high winds (no rain gutter on your home? No problem we have bracket systems to match your home)
*Our commercial quality tripod with proprietary veined aluminum risers creates an incredibly stable base with thousands in use for gardening and farming over the last 8 years nothing on the market comes close!
*Sprinkler height of 12 feet with extensions easily throws over most single-story homes.
*We chose a unique low psi wedge drive sprinkler that will run on low psi and gpm while still providing beautiful coverage. This sprinkler should allow you to run multiple units simultaneously.
*No hoses on your roof to be kinked or needing to be supported.
*No need to climb tall ladders or walking around on your roof that can cause damage to you and your roof!
*Can be run incredibly effectively from a pump drawing from your pool as well.
* Small storage footprint
***Video is of my house 3 units cover the entire home and much of the yard, the sprinkler you see running in the video was throwing completely over the roof onto the backyard.
CONS
*Not for two story homes
*Sprinkler will need min specified PSI and GPM to operate there is no guarantee this will be available from your municipality during a fire event.
*While there are many examples of people saving their homes with just a garden hose there is never a guarantee of any outcome
