Q: What is the GeiserMiser™?
A: The GeiserMiser™ is a device that has been meticulously designed to stop the flow of water in your sprinkler system if one or more of the sprinkler heads becomes damaged.

Q: Why should I spend the money to install the GeiserMiser™?
A: Operating you irrigation system with a broken head can result is a significant waste of water, up to 750 gallons per hour of operation with a broken or missing head. Since clean water has become one of the more difficult natural resources to find, it is important that we all do our part to conserve this most precious resource. Installation of the GeiserMiser™ can also help to save you money. Besides having to pay for costly repairs to your landscape when your yard is flooded by improperly operating systems, many areas of the country have imposed fines to individuals and businesses that operate their sprinkler systems improperly, including operating the system with a broken head. There is probably no better signal to authorities than to witness the resultant 30-foot vertical stream of water from a broken head. And finally, in some cases automobile accidents have resulted from excessive water being spewed onto roadways resulting in litigation.

Q: How many GeiserMiser™s will I need to properly protect my sprinkler system?
A: That depends on your individual system.

At each location where a sprinkler head is installed, one GeiserMiser™ should be installed between the supply line and the sprinkler head.

Q: Can I just put one in for each zone?
A: The GeiserMiser™ is designed to protect individual heads. If one head in the system fails, the remainder of the system will continue to operate effectively. The GeiserMiser™ has not been designed to protect an entire watering zone.

Q: How much will it cost to protect my system?
A: That depends on several factors. First it depends on how many heads are in the system. Second it depends on whether you decide to install them or whether you decide to pay a professional to install them. Another consideration is whether you are installing them into an existing system or installing them in a new installation. Obviously installing them into an existing system may cost more because of the labor involved in digging up the existing heads but if you are putting them in with a new installation, there shouldn’t be an increase in the labor cost, only the cost of the GeiserMiser™.

Q: Are they difficult to install?

Q: What if I have the shortest head and the shortest riser and I am flush with the grade?

There are several varieties of flexible pipe the can be utilized that will allow the head to be moved slightly to one side of the current installation and allow the sprinkler head to be properly positioned with reference to grade. There are also elbows and tee fittings that could be user to move the head. Remember the GeiserMiser™ can be installed at any attitude and it will work properly.

Q: Does the GeiserMiser™ restrict the flow of water in the sprinkler system in any way?
A: No. The GeiserMiser™ does not restrict flow.

Q: Will the GeiserMiser™ still work if the supply plumbing is damaged?
