Superior in High Wind Condition
The unique design features of the Platypus bushfire protection sprinkler make it more effective in high wind conditions than standard butterfly sprinklers. It is high winds that cause ember attack.
Platypus’s innovative system removed the need for an outer support frame typically found on inferior butterfly sprinklers. A frame results in very small droplets which are more likely to be effected by wind.
The Platypus Sprinkler sprays larger water droplets. They are sprayed “out and down” somewhat like rain rather than up in the air.
Tests show water sprayed from our sprinkler head is less wind affected because of water droplet size and the downward direction of water spray.
