Quick-Snap

A new type of in-ground lawn sprinkler system that needs no trenches for underground pipes. 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 in-ground sprinkler systems. It works off a garden hose. By using a patented adapter attached to an in-ground sprinkler, the homeowner merely snap-connects a hose at ground level to the in-ground sprinkler.

The saving in equipment costs is fantastic! An average-size lawn of approximately 10,000 sq. ft. can be watered by an in-ground sprinkler system purchased for less than $200. Not only can the homeowner save thousands of dollars in costs over a totally in-ground system, he can take it with him when he moves.

This new in-ground 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 in-ground 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.



Installation Instructions

1. Pick the location. Pick the location for each head. Diagramming is unnecessary. Just snap on a hose, turn on the water and see how much area the spray covers. (Hold the head firmly!) If you like the spot, dig the hole there. Each sprinkler covers a radius of 30 to 40 feet and can be adjusted to rotate from 30° to 360°. Corners are the best spots for Quick-Snaps. Two heads in opposite corners will cover square and rectangle shapes almost perfectly.

2. Dig a hole. Dig the hole about 4" wide and 9" deep. You want the top of the sprinkler to be level with the ground surface.

3. Put it in. Spin the spray turret all the way to the left with your fingers. This is where the spray will begin and end each rotation. Place the sprinkler in the hole so it's pointing along the left border of the area you want to water. It's OK for the sprinkler to rest right on the bottom of the hole. Fill the hole about half way with dirt to keep the sprinkler from shifting and then snap on the hose.

4. Set the left start. Turn on the water and the turret will pop up. Turn the turrent all the way left. Shift it in the hole so that the left starting point is aimed exactly where you want it to be. Tilt the whole sprinkler to adjust the height of the spray. For example, tilt it back if you want the spray to go up a hill. Tilt it forward if you want it to spray under tree limbs. Since it's not attached to a pipe, you can aim it at any angle you like. Fill in the hole around the sprinkler with dirt.

5. Set the right stop. Adjust the black arrow with your screwdriver to change the setting for the right stop. You will hear a click as it's adjusted. Basically, each click changes the rotation one degree.

6. Set the spray distance. With your screwdriver, tighten the nozzle retention screw to shorten the distance of the spray.

7. You're done. Congratulations on installing your Quick-Snap sprinkler.
