ProTech™ Makes Hunter Rotors Safe Without Sacrificing Strength

You’re in charge of the irrigation system for a public park, a campus lawn or a stadium playing field. You need a rotary sprinkler that’s:

• big enough to efficiently cover the expansive area (50'-plus spacing between sprinklers)
• strong enough to stand up to the heavy use – whether in number of people or the sheer size of the people (think football players)
• safe enough that those who use the field won’t injure themselves if they happen to come in contact with the sprinkler

So, what rotor do you install?

There are actually two sprinklers from which to choose, but they have one thing in common. And it’s that feature that makes Hunter I-25 and I-40 the big, strong and safe choices. That feature is Hunter’s innovative ProTech™ safety system.

When rotors are installed at sports facilities – whether for football, baseball, soccer, lacrosse or any other game requiring a spacious field – the less exposed surface area on the rotor you install, the safer that playing surface will be.

With the Hunter ProTech safety system, the revealed portion of the heavy duty rubber cover is of the smallest possible size to minimize the possibility of contact with athletic participants or, in the case of parks, children at play. In addition, thanks to a rubber boot surrounding the rubber cover, there are no metal or hard plastic components close to the surface, so the entire top of Hunter’s I-25 and I-40 commercial rotors are flexible and user friendly.

But just because these rotors are safe, doesn’t mean they’re "soft." These rotors boast beefy construction built to take the punishment that playing fields can dish out. Hunter’s time-tested, continuously-improved long-life gear drive. A heavy duty ribbed cap and body. Our patented VStat® self-adjusting stator. Plus, stainless steel risers that are standard on the I-40 and make an appealing option on the I-25 (by the way, Hunter stands behind the plastic riser on the I-25 with the same 5-year warranty as our stainless version).

If limiting your facility’s liability concerns are a top priority, the bottom line is you need the ProTech safety system. As for I-25 or I-40, the choice is yours. See your authorized Hunter distributor today and find out which rotor is best for you.
