START UP IRRIGATION SPECIAL

For many of you, your irrigation systems are up and running already! If you are still working on refilling your lines and need some extra help, take a quick look at a start up video or read about system startup instructions to maximize your time and minimize startup damage.

Riser Hold Up Tool
Make sure you have a few of the riser hold up tools in stock to "snap on" to sprinklers in areas where you may have a lot of water hammer as the system fills. For the month of April these are on sale at a 10% discount. This tool allows for a high volume of water and air to be evacuated from the system quickly. The 995-102 Riser Hold Up Tool will work for all Toro® sprinklers (the ones that pop up over 4" when operating). This eliminates damage to risers and the need for removing ANY conversion assemblies from the bodies during start up.

TOOLS AND PARTS STOCK UP
On the heels of our Irrigation Technician TEU events, we are offering a one-time stock order special with a 10% discount. Special includes Toro sprinkler tools, Underhill® turbo trim, PowerSeal® products, Hymax® repair fittings, Progressive Electronics® Station Master Pro 24B wire trackers and fault finders so you can be ready for anything this year.
