Install Only Rain Bird rotors have Rain Curtain nozzle technology that features larger water droplets for resistance to windy conditions, effective close-in watering to eliminate dry spots near the rotor and even distribution over the entire radius range. In side-by-side comparisons with the competition, the clear advantages of Rain Curtain technology can actually be seen with the naked eye. Rain Curtain Technology The Competition Rain Curtain technology is only available on Rain Bird rotors, including the 3500 Series, 5000 and 5000 Plus Series, Falcon® 6504, 7005 and 8005. Rotors tested at consistent psi with no physical disruption of the stream. 13 Rotors www.rainbird.com 2004 New Products Catalog Rotors ™ ™ technology Install proven Rain Curtain Install proven Rain Curtain technology. There are three elements which create the superior coverage of Rain Curtain nozzle technology. 1 Large Droplets for Consistent Performance How is Nozzle Performance Measured? Scheduling Coefficient (SC) is one of the most accurate ways to measure water distribution. ■ SC measures how much longer you must water the entire area for the driest sections to receive sufficient water. ■ The lower the SC, the better the rotor distributes water. A SC of 1.0 represents perfect uniformity. Tests show that even rain has an SC greater than 1.0.** Rain Curtain technology produces larger water droplets that are far less susceptible to wind, and greatly minimizes misting and airborne evaporation. This competitive advantage assures that the right amount of water goes where it needs to go which saves time, money and equally important, one of nature’s most valuable resources. 2 Effective Close-in Watering ■ Test results from side-by-side comparisons with competitive nozzle products prove that Rain Curtain technology consistently outperforms the competition with the lowest scheduling coefficients—as low as 1.1.* *Based on tests conducted at Rain Bird’s Product Research Center in Glendora, CA. Test results reflect a comparison of Rain Bird’s products with those of its principal competitors. **Based on a report published by The Center for Irrigation Technology. Engineered Rain Curtain Technology Long-range Watering Port Close-in Watering Port Mid-range Watering Port Effective and gentle close-in watering eliminates dry spots around the rotor without seed washout. 3 Even Distribution Over the Entire Radius Rain Bird’s broad range of Rain Curtain nozzles [0.54-36.3 gpm (0,12-8,24 m3/h), 15-81 ft. (4,6-24,7m)] is engineered to deliver optimum distribution uniformity across the entire radius range. This uniformity compensates for varying environmental conditions, offering flexibility to the designer and assuring green grass results. In Rain Bird commercial rotors, Rain Curtain technology centers around three watering ports that deliver long-range, mid-range and close-in water for optimum distribution uniformity. This uniformity across the entire radius range greatly diminishes dependence on near-perfect head-to-head spacing, and reduces the need to overwater because there are no gaps in coverage. The close-in watering port features an expansion chamber that actually takes energy out of that part of the stream which is diverted downward around the head. By reducing the velocity of the water by as much as 90%, effective close-in watering is achieved. The close-in water flowing out of the bottom of this port is distributed gently, even though the rotor is operating at a relatively high flow and pressure. ▲ Call 1-800-RainBird (U.S. only) or visit www.rainbird.com for the name of your Rain Bird Distributor. 2004 New Products Catalog www.rainbird.com Rotors 14 Rotors Full- or Part-Circle Rotor Pop-Up Sprinklers 5000 Series Take Performance to the Top Primary Application Residential, commercial and athletic field sites - spacing up to 50 feet (15,2 m).

Install Rain Bird Accessories. Central Controls Commercial Pump Stations Landscape Drip/ Xerigation Accessories Accessories Resources & Training Accessories IS Series Rain Bird® Irrigation Supplement Primary Application Rain Bird Irrigation Supplement is water bound in the form of a solid gel. It is an ideal irrigation supplement for use in establishing native plant material where permanent irrigation is not required as well as new plant material in existing landscape areas. Rain Bird IS increases survival rates of transplants by providing continuous moisture needed to reduce the stress of relocation. General Use Guide • The recommended number of quarts is based on the needs of medium water-use plant material. For high water-use plants, multiply this recommended number of units by 1.5. • Excessive heat, wind, plants with extensive foliage or plants bearing fruit will require additional watering. Features • Helps new transplants become established in existing landscapes. Existing vegetation is not subjected to over-watering while trying to establish the new plant, and the new plant has its own additional source of water until it becomes established • Provides moisture around the clock to the root zone where capillary activity in the soil carries and maintains moisture throughout the root zone • 100% all natural, non-toxic and harmless to people and pets.
