During a bushfire, 95% of homes lost are due to Ember Attack!
The Aussie Soaker
The Aussie Soaker was our original bushfire sprinkler and has been developed over the last 12 years by our team to wet down your yard and increase its resilience to ember attack.
The Marine Grade Stainless Body is manufactured in our workshop, the impact sprinkler is imported. Using 15 LPM @ 350 KPa to cover a 15M Diameter with a stream of water that has two alternating adjustable patterns, we recommend using it to protect your yards vegetation from hot flying embers.
The Soaker can be set up on the gutter spraying into the wind. Alternatively it can be set in your yard on a star picket or hung off a fence spraying water into the wind and toward the house on full circle mode.
We recommend having a fire fighting pump for the Aussie Soaker as it need high pressure to operate as designed.

History
At Rainmaker Bushfire Sprinklers we have been manufacturing different variations of the Aussie Soaker sprinkler since 2014.
Originally manufactured with an Aluminium body we changed to Marine Grade Stainless steel in 2015. We have used the same Brass Impact sprinkler since the beginning as it has proved to be robust and reliable. We have seldom had any returns due to failure and continue to sell hundreds of these units every fire season.
