    I bought this for my neighbour a few years ago when she was complaining about my cat going in her yard. I bought her this sprinkler and she was so happy that it chased away every cat and raccoon in the neighbourhood, now she gives me Christmas cards every year.

  • @bombero42
    @bombero42 3 года назад +5

    Bought one in 2007. Works well still but I don't need to use if often. A good idea is to adjust the water flow to just a trickle. I just a minute of two it will pressurize the hose to full pressure and that will be enough for one or two sweeps before it has to refill. That way, if a hose breaks overnight you are not running up a huge water bill and wasting lots of water.

    Have been running two of these for a couple of years to protect chickens at night, and stop cats shitting on my garden, yes they work far better then other methods, they do work really well, and when switched off they are still a deterrent as the cats see it and remember what happened before, the only problem is when I forget to remind the lady that it’s switched on- she’s not pleased to get a soaking when she wanders up the garden lol

    @zacharyredding3860 Год назад

    Any insight on how much water pressure a device like this requires? I would like to rig a solar powered motion sensor sprinkler unit on our swim raft to keep geese away. Since it's a public lake, it wouldn't be wise to run a hose out there- wondering if a hose attached to an elevated 5-gallon pail would create enough pressure. The birds are only out there at night, so I'm sure one or two blasts of the sprinkler would shoo them off.

    • @pauly9336
      @pauly9336 9 месяцев назад

      Probably use a 12 volt pump with automatic pressure shutoff with hose to bucket.
      When sprinkler activates, pressure turns on 12 volt pump sucking water from bucket👍

    Hi, got a really big cat problem in my garden, they keep dinging up the soil and pissing were im trying to grow a garden for my mum :( . Finally i decided to get this.. My hose pipe is next to the house not the garden. So the garden hose has to go over a ledge to be in the garden (maybe 2 to 3 feet down). Will it stay in place with the spike?
    and is it safe to leave the water of the hose pipe on? Please help :(

    Such a disappointment. Bought 3 of these especially for the evening, so I turn it off during the day. Coming at night and turn it on, they don't work at all, turn the hose off and on and nothing. The only thing that seems to getting them to work back again is to taking of the hose connections on the scarecrow which can be a bitch to be putting it and out again. It is a good product in terms of sensing and shooting water but as I said it doesn't work after turning it off and on again. Any fixing to this problem? or is it that the ones I bought are not the real scarecrow? because I notice some elements are different to the one shown in this video. Oh well, just save up some more to try the Orbit62100.

    • @jonashellsborn7648
      @jonashellsborn7648 3 года назад

      Seems like it needs to be pressureless to go "off". When you turn off the faucet and there's no leak, then the pressure will still be "on" in the hose. Try releasing the hose on the "house" side instead. Or buy an extension coupling with a leak valve and put the scarecrow on a 1m hose to that coupling.
