The Rainmaker was originally designed to simply hang off your gutter, we generally place them evey 6 metres.
If you have gutter mesh then a 50mm slit is required to fit the sprinkler, we generally cut this using a cutting disc on a 100mm offhand grinder. Mark the postion of the sllit for easy location when needed.
We have also developed a range of products to make hanging the rainmaker easier.
Activating the sprinkler is simply a case of turning on the valve, having a valve controling each rainmaker allows for fine tuning. They don't need to be spinning flat out to do the job, larger droplets are best.
