The easy way to prepare for wildfires now.
For instant rooftop wildfire protection, just add Water Wingers.
No ladder required.
Water Wingers are patented, made in Canada, powerful, long-throw rooftop wildfire sprinklers you can quickly pull up onto high peaks, safely from the ground without using a ladder.
You only pull them up when you need them.
See how the homeowner puts 2 Water Wingers onto his 2 story roof peak without using a ladder!

Both are running from one yard tap, through a High-Flow “Y” and
fed from a household well with 60 PSI at the tap.
This short video shows how to create a wet zone around a 2 story home using just ONE Water Winger!
The higher your sprinklers are, the more area they can soak.
Sprinklers positioned up high on roof peaks is usually the best place for them, but is often too dangerous to attempt.
“Just when our Fire Department implemented a policy of not going onto rooftops, the Water Winger came along. We can now deploy, in just a few minutes, a roof top sprinkler system from the ground. Excellent product.”

For many people,
Water Wingers are the best rooftop option.
For tall, steep roofs, Wingers are the perfect option!
-
- No Ladders required! Safe and Fast to deploy.
- No hoses need to be hanging down from your soffits all summer.
- Pull them onto roofs yourself when you need them.
- They adjust automatically to any roof pitch via spring loaded skis.
- A better option than permanently mounted rooftop sprinklers that will become useless if they get plugged, or jammed. Water Wingers can be pulled off roofs quickly, without climbing a ladder, to get working again.
- Portable and easy to move to other roofs quickly to help others.
- Built to last.
- Water Wingers use the large, proven dependable, brass 3/4″ RainBird impact sprinkler because it throws a powerful stream well over 50′ and performs better in windy conditions.
- Built to provide many years of dependable protection.
- The premium, polished stainless steel and aluminum construction.
- Reflective markings make it easy for crews to see who has rooftop sprinklers deployed, even at night.
Having your own high quality structure protection system set up, increases the chances that crews will help you save your home if you make it easier for them to do.
A safe, easy way to get roofs & more wet fast.
How to protect your home and property from wildfires
-
- Even metal and other non-combustible roofs should be wet so burning embers are extinguished and can’t slide off or get blown off to start new fires nearby.
- A wet roof and a soaked property stays cooler longer.
- These large sprinklers throw a lot of water to create a long lasting, high humidity environment around your structures to help them withstand the heat from the fire front that comes after the ember storm.
- The bigger the fire that’s potentially coming, the more water and sprinklers you will need to increase your chances.
- Even metal and other non-combustible roofs should be wet so burning embers are extinguished and can’t slide off or get blown off to start new fires nearby.
The plan is to get everything soaked, and the more soaked the better. Create the largest wet zone around your structures as you can with the water and sprinklers you have, so that the fire front keeps it’s distance and will hopefully blow by before all the water evaporates to the point things get dry and hot enough to ignite.
One Powerful Water Winger can often replace multiple small sprinklers mounted on gutters or fascia
They are easy to remove even from steep, slippery, wet roofs
It’s easy to pull them back down off of your roof when the threat has passed,
or quickly relocate them to other structures.
Use them on:
1 and 2 story homes, resorts, cottages,
barns, shops,
houses of worship, tall steep roofs,
fabric covered buildings,
combustible piles, boats,
aircraft, large RV’s, large fuel tanks
industrial assets and more.
Wet more roof area from roof peaks
A single Water Winger
can wet a 100′ diameter circle,
7850 sqft with
50 PSI @ 7-9 GPM
See the spray pattern at 50 PSI, a common household pressure, with the standard nozzles.
40 to 80 PSI is ideal
Nozzles can be changed to tune your Winger to most water supplies
Your odds increase as your water supply increases.
This RainBird Chart shows the throw radius and water consumption with optional nozzles and other water pressures.
Compare on a 50′ x 70′ roof:
A Water Winger on each end of your roof will give you the best protection when the wind whips up.
Easier and safer to deploy.
Just throw the ball by hand, or use the ball chucker to throw the special ball and line over your roof so you can easily pull your Water Winger up to the peak.
Many people will be able to just throw the ball by hand over a 2 story home or barn.
See the ball being thrown over a two story home by hand.
For larger buildings, watch how the ball chucker we include makes it easy to do.
Then, just pull it up onto your roof until it you see it clamp itself over the peak.
No holes, nails or screws are needed to secure them.
You really don’t want to put holes in your roof or fascia!
You Don’t need to have sprinklers on your roof sitting in the sun until you really need them.
These advanced rooftop sprinklers have spring loaded legs that self-adjust to automatically straddle any roof peak.
They remain secure and upright regardless of how steep the roof is.
Peak situated sprinklers minimize the potential for water damage.
Water Wingers spray from roof peaks, so the water falls onto your roof from above, like rain, the way your roof is designed to shed water.
You must watch that ground or low roof edge mounted sprinklers can spray water into vent openings and up under shingles that could potentially cause expensive water damage.
The mister nozzle creates a finer mist to blow with the wind to wet the places burning embers may also blow into.
Water Wingers are built to last.
Canadian machinists and fabricators manufacture the patented innovative stainless steel and aluminum frames.
Wingers use the ultra dependable and repairable, 3/4″ RainBird 30 heavy duty, brass impact sprinkler heads.
They are durable, dependable and project a dense stream of water that travels farther into the wind and penetrates deeper into the ground to wet a large area quickly.
The frame is polished stainless steel and has reflective markings to make it easy for structure protection crews to see who has rooftop sprinklers deployed, especially at night!
Everything Folds Up Compactly for Mobility & Storage
Our 100% made in Canada, proprietary rope bag and line set are designed so the lines will deploy and load back in smoothly and easily.
- The bag is made out of a durable mesh so the lines dry quickly.
- It has a wide opening, easy load design.
- The reflective trim makes the bag easy to see.
- It has pockets to hold what is needed.
- The shoulder strap makes carrying the kit easy.
- You can use the strap to hang the bag over your shoulder to load the lines back in directly off the roof so you don’t have to bend over & kneel on the wet ground.
Kits come with everything you need to pull Water Wingers onto most types of 1 & 2 story buildings.
Water Wingers are portable, temporary wildfire protection sprinklers
You only put them up when you need them
With a good water supply, you should consider running more sprinklers around your property to extend your protective wet zone
We can help you get set up.
Imagine having a ready to deploy package of rooftop and ground sprinklers all the hoses and strategic spares on hand with everything you’ll need including a map of how to set up your structure protection system and connect it to your pump or water source.
