How does the Dropmaster work?
The Dropmaster™ is designed to be compatible with any part of the sprinkler system. Upon connection and activation, it consistently maintains a vacuum of 10” Hg whenever the system is compromised, such as when a sprinkler is removed, causing a siphoning effect. This innovative feature enables the installer to replace the sprinkler without the need for a bucket, preventing any messy spills. Additionally, the Dropmaster’s flexible discharge hose conveniently connects to any drain, ensuring a clean and odor-free work area with ease.
Is it easy to maintain?
Yes, the system requires minimal daily maintenance that takes only a few minutes.
Daily Maintenance:
- Check the strainer. Remove basket to clean. Remove any debris.
- Drain barrel to protect from excessive corrosion build up and freezing.
- Check oil reservoir. Fill as needed.
- Drain excess oil from the catch basin in the muffler.
Is it reliable?
Every Dropmaster™ comes with a one-year warranty. Made in the USA, the Dropmaster™ is durable, built to last, and proven in the field. The Dropmaster™ was designed and built for 24/7 operation, and all components are rated for continuous duty.
How much labor time will it save?
The Dropmaster™ eliminates residual water in a sprinkler system so that sprinklers can be replaced without using buckets and tarps. By reducing both set-up and clean-up time, many contractors report labor savings of 40% to 60%, and some even claim 80%.
