Greetings!
Where do you look for new business when times
are tough?
Focus on the customers that already know you,
like you and trust you.
The excellent rapport you have with your long
term customers means you can focus on selling
new products and services rather than first
having to sell yourself.
Visit these customers to show them the
benefits of new products like smart controllers and landscape lighting. You will be
surprised how many will be interested in
buying more from you.

Sprinkler to Drip Retrofits
Eliminate water waste in spray systems that water shrubs and trees Quick conversion of lawn areas to drought-tolerant and native plants
Rain Bird makes converting a spray system to water-saving drip irrigation easy.
Their conversion unit quickly changes
any spray head or riser to a connection point for a drip zone.
The all-in-one unit includes
a 200-mesh filter and 30 psi pressure regulator for proper operation of
a drip irrigation system. It reuses existing exisiting valves, pipe,
and controllers. Only one may be needed per zone. Just cap off the other
heads on the zone.
· Sized for easy conversion of a Rain Bird® 1800® pop-up spray head. · Also connects to other standard 1/2" irrigation fittings. · All-in-one unit includes filter and 30psi regulator
Note: A drip system needs to be operated on a separate zone than spray
heads and rotors. When using the Riser Connection Kit to convert a zone
to drip, either convert all spray heads or rotors on that zone to drip
or cap off the spray heads and rotors that are not converted to drip.
Tip: Minimum operating pressure for a drip system is 15 psi, maximum is
25-30 psi. The Riser Connection Kit each contain a 25-30 psi regulator
to reduce higher pressures. These connection kits also incorporate a
150-200 mesh filter to protect the tubing emitters.
CAUTION: Not using the pressure regulator and filter may damage your system.
