Helpful answers
Rooftop Wildfire Sprinkler FAQ
How do Water Winger rooftop sprinklers help protect structures?
Water Wingers create a large wet zone over the roof and surrounding property. This helps extinguish windblown embers and increases moisture around the structure before a wildfire arrives.
Can Water Wingers be deployed without a ladder?
Yes. A Water Winger is pulled onto the roof peak from the ground using the included line system, avoiding the risks of climbing onto a high, steep or wet roof.
What water supply does a Water Winger require?
Water Wingers perform best with approximately 40–80 PSI. At 50 PSI, the standard nozzle configuration uses approximately 7–9 gallons per minute.
Can a Water Winger operate from a household well?
Yes, provided the well and pump supply sufficient pressure and flow. The available water supply determines how many sprinklers can operate simultaneously.
How much area can one Water Winger cover?
Under suitable conditions, one Water Winger can wet an area approximately 100 feet in diameter—up to about 7,850 square feet. Coverage varies with water pressure, nozzle configuration, wind and roof height.
What types of roofs can it be used on?
Its self-adjusting legs are designed to straddle many common roof peaks and pitches. The temporary system can be removed when the wildfire threat has passed.
Can one person deploy a Water Winger?
Many people can deploy one using the included throwing ball, line system and ball chucker. Larger or more complex structures may be easier to protect with assistance.
Where are Water Wingers made?
Water Wingers are built in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, using Canadian machining and fabrication. Construction includes stainless steel, aluminum and a brass impact sprinkler.
