I put this together (frankly, it’s in a lot of pieces and requires more assembly than it should) and I used silicone faucet cartridge assembly type grease on all the seals and assembly points. It has not leaked a drop. The plastics are not great quality, so do yourself a favor and use the silicone grease, any hardware store has it.It is very sensitive, and has a wide arc/range- you don’t have to be anywhere near the front to trigger it. I think it’s 80 degrees or so. When it fires, it will splatter you even if you are behind it. Because it apparently needs to sense both heat and movement, such as with a moving critter, it does not fire with waving branches on a breezy day, and that’s very good- my yard is full of things that move in the wind. The intact Tom cat who has drenched my pool screens with foul-smelling pee nightly for months (as well as screaming and howling at 3am routinely right outside my bedroom window) got a face full of water and hit my wooden fence scrambling to escape with enough force that it sounded like an adult person climbing over. He made one more attempt the next night with similar results. I left it up a week and now set it only periodically just in case. The cat has not been back, nor am I hearing the howling in nearby yards, so I assume he was sufficiently impressed to choose new territory.Make sure your hose is durable - cracking the tap just a little does NOT limit pressure, only flow. If your house has high pressure such as mine (pool pressure) buy a reducer. A burst hose at 1am that you don’t find for 8 hours will lose a lot of water. Having the tap on less than full will reduce what you lose if it bursts, but again, simple physics dictate that it won’t reduce the pressure and make a burst hose less likely. Make sure the tap is on enough that you get a good strong and long firing- you want distance since the sensor will pick up the critter quite a ways from the unit. A good soaking is most likely to help the critter find another yard to prowl, rather than water that doesn’t reach them at all and just makes a lot of noise. If you are looking for an intact male cat to ruin your screen enclosure and wake you at 3am, I no longer have one to loan you.

This auto sprinkler has been working pretty well in my yard. I wanted to find a way to keep the deer away from my garden without having to build a fence or anything like that. this thing does the trick (I think they're just scared of it now, which is funny). The motion sensor works good enough, but sometimes it takes a bit longer than i'd like for the water to start spraying after it detects something. It's not always consistent, but most of the time it works fine - probably depends on the angle or something (I haven't really figured out why it happens).One thing I noticed is that the timed watering feature can be a bit finicky. sometimes it won't turn off when it's supposed to, and then I end up with puddles everywhere (not sure if my neighbors have noticed, but I hope they don't start complaining). Other than that, though, the sprinkler has been doing a good job. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it and would recommend it to anyone who needs an easy way to keep animals away from their property - just be prepared for some occasional issues with the watering feature.

This works well I have it set up and it works well the setting make it easy to target specific areas and can be adjusted very easily, if you purchase this for uk use you will need the 3/4 adapter for it too I’m using hoselock product and they work well I have no leaks at all but I’m only in day 2, overall does the job I got this for cats I hope soon they will be conditioned to seat away as they hate this I just find it pricey for what it does, the material and quality is good so I hope this lasts and it does look like my problem will be sorted 🙂

Para espantar garzas en un estanque

Le descriptif indique un équipement en laiton, ce qui a motivé mon achat, et déception, hors mis le piquet en aluminium, le reste est en plastique, même la tête de pulvérisation.Le descriptif est donc mensonger, je regrette mon achat, le prix est trop elevé pour du plastique.

We have had our yard enforcer for over four months now. It works great for keeping our neighbour’s cat from visiting and pooping in our yards but after four months it’s started to leak.Seller would you help get in touch so we can fix this? Thanks.

sehr guter Sprenger wenn er nicht so oft angehen würde.Nachtrag:Am 24.04.2022 gekauft und jetzt schon defekt!!! (01.12.2022)

*Update: Has been 10 months of use. Leakage is very minimal and we haven't noticed a big change in our water bill. However, two months ago we had to move the sprinkler from next to the garage door to about 8' down the driveway because of the unreliability of the "NIGHT" setting. Delivery drivers and we were getting sprayed when the sun was fully up or the light was still bright (cloudy at 4pm...you're getting sprayed; 8:30 a.m. as the sun peaking through but still bright light...sprayed). Moving it meant we could alter the direction, so that even when you pull into the driveway, you can pull up near the garage and access the sidewalk from the garage to the front porch without getting yourself wet. Your car however will get sprayed. The new location is inside a flower bed 30' from the road and set to spray 180 degrees with the sensor still pointed Eastward at the driveway/road to get any dogs or cats (or nighttime trespassers-which is great when you're on vacation or work trips) walking onto our property. The trick is that at 30', every vehicle that passes sets off the sprinkler. So our water usage is up. That's not good. I'm not sure what the solution is. And with holiday deliveries, the drivers are coming well after dark, and if they park in the road and run a package up, they are getting sprayed, so we may just have to turn it off until after the first of January. The sprinkler has cut down significantly on nighttime visits of off leash cats and dogs.I just wish the nighttime sensor was more accurate for "darkness". And I wish that vehicles were not setting it off. Note: we have not yet changed our original batteries from February and it does go off at least once a day, numerous times with the new location-that's a good thing.If only folks would respect their neighbors and obey the leash laws (and picking up poops!).****************************Have been using this product about a month on a set of new batteries. Have it set to operate at NIGHT. We have rude neighbors who do not follow the leash laws and allow dogs and cats to roam free. This purchase was to prevent dogs and cats from pooping and peeing all over our driveway and adjacent landscaping. Although they come at all hours, we cannot have this triggering during the day as it will "shoot" all delivery drivers, guests and us coming and going. So we chose NIGHT. Unfortunately, the night sensor doesn't work well. For example it is 8:30 a.m., the sun is fully up, and the sprinkler is still activating. The sensor is pointed EAST to get the first light of day. Just this morning, it went off with the garage door, my dog and I were sprayed twice-coming and going, "something" was sprayed before our walk because everything was wet so I am anxious to check the Wildlife Cam footage. So far only one delivery driver has said he was scared when it sprayed him for a morning delivery. It was a cloudy morning before storms so it goes off then too. There is no way to set the device to, let's say, run for 8 , 10, or 12 hours after dark. If it had the capability to be hooked up to electrical then it would be easy to have it connected to a timer such as we use for our landscape lights.You'll also need a heavy duty hose. Our first hose blew the side out after 1 day. The shortest heavy duty hose the home supply had was 25'.I have been very worried about water pressure build-up causing a leak at the house or the hose end. We have the water pressure turned on "just" enough to allow the sprinkler to operate. So far it is okay, once we double checked our gaskets in the hose. We have a double head connector at the house. One side goes to the Yard Enforcer. The other side allows us to wash the car or water the flowers, etc. HOWEVER, if you use your water outlet to do anything else other than the Yard Enforcer, then you have to try and remember how far to leave the water spigot "on" when you are through so that enough water operates the Yard Enforcer. If there isn't enough, the spray comes out a big flaccid and won't go far. Too much "on" and you risk leaks at the house spigot or hose end. I would like to hope we can change the behavior of the cats and dogs that are using our driveway, car tires, landscaping as their daily toilet and eventually put the Enforcer away for a while.Of course, the BEST option is that people wouldn't be so lazy, rude and un-law abiding as to just let their "pets" run free. We've spent over $1000 on devices and fences (as allowed..we are restricted) and this is just another attempt to save our sanity.
