- No Irrigation? No Problem!
If you’re like most people then you probably don’t have a professional in ground irrigation system installed on your property. I've tried almost every lawn sprinkler on the market in order to properly irrigate my lawn and none of them seemed to work right. Eventually I built a custom DIY above ground irrigation system but it still had its flaws and never seemed to stop leaking. Finally we have a professional DIY above ground irrigation system available to us DIYers.
In this video, we cover the first ever professional DIY above ground sprinkler system in existence.
Hunter Irrigation just released a DIY above ground irrigation system called the MP Stake. Designed for use with the MP Rotator nozzle, the MP Stake comes preassembled and includes a check valve and pressure regulator to ensure slow and even watering. This DIY Sprinkler system is the absolute best way to irrigate without having a professional sub-surfaced irrigation system.
The best part about this irrigation system is it uses the MP Rotator nozzles which are the gold standard in the irrigation world. The MP Rotator uses multi trajectory rotating stream that helps you save on water. Rather than simply spray water onto your lawn, MP Rotators deliver multiple streams of water at a consistent rate. This slower application rate allows water to gently soak into the soil and achieves an even distribution throughout the area being irrigated. The Mp rotators use 30% less water when compared to traditional sprays which will lead to less run off of the water. Ive been using the Mp rotators on my existing DIY build and am super excited to see hunter come up with this dedicated DIY solution.

🔵 I Just Got a New Irrigation System!!!! See here-> czcams.com/video/3w3gq0_qsh4/video.html
Can we get a follow up to the lawn renovation in the spring? Before, during, after, program for water, fert used, regrets, wins, go forward plans for fall, winter, and spring?
@@calbro5823 working on a follow up for over seed now, should be out in a few days. I cover a few regrets I have about kbg in it. Stay tuned
@@PrincessCutLawnCare awesome! Thanks!
Can i replace my old Hunter sprinkler heads with the new MP heads. it's underground Hunter system and works great though. I bought a new X-core controller for it.
No disrespect.. but for anyone who is concerned enough about their lawn to even be considering an irrigation system, overall this would just be a waste of time and money not to mention aggravation. Now if your looking for a temporary solution that's only going to be used under special circumstances OR your just broke & handicapped then maybe ok for you. Also, anyone who's in the service side of the business knows these MP rotators only look good on paper, in the real world they never go the distance. On sloped grades they have there place but still fail way to much, so do the krains, so do the Toros, the rainbirds are slightly more trustworthy. If your lawn is small and isn't concrete hard and your physically capable, you can install a much better official in-ground system by hand using hose bibs, 1/2" poly pipe and a 10" Wilton slit tool, obviously you must zone the system and head count based on volume available.

Kevin from Hunter Industries seems to really have his act together. Almost military precision in his appearance and presentation. Great job!
oh yes, he doesnt play around
Thank you for your kind words
@@kevinbattistoni5404 Kevin have you thought about making a youtube channel?
@@kevinbattistoni5404Love the presentation. I worked for Hunter Industries at their original plant on Diamond Dr. in San Marcos back in the late 80's until 1992. The Hunter Family are great people.
That dude has to be ex military haha.
My landscaper replaced one of my sprinkler heads with this model a few weeks ago; I LOVE it.
Hunter has great products. Their in ground irrigation system has served me well so far
Glad to hear 😃
Nice video George. Definitely a step up for the DIY irrigation game. Good job on putting a kit together to make it a turnkey solution. 👍😎
Thanks Ron super excited to pioneer this solution
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Congratulations George, that's a much better setup. Personally, I would put in an in-ground system, even though it's a lot of work. If you do a bit of research and install it yourself, the materials would be less than a thousand dollars CAD for a 4-zone system. If you don't want to deal with trenches, wires, controllers, and electric valves, you can just use funny pipe, fittings, and a 4-way garden hose timer. You can get away with burying the funny pipe 4" - 6" under the ground. To install, markout where the funny pipe and sprinklers are going and use a spade shovel to cut out V pieces of sod. Then flip the sod over, place the funny pipe in the trench, put the sod back, and bury your sprinkler heads. You've basically done all the hard work at that point. No more ugly hoses running everywhere and you don't have to move anything. FYI you should be using some type of backflow preventer I'm surprised the technician from Hunter didn't install one A backflow preventer keeps contaminated water from re-entering the water supply. You can use a vacuum breaker and install it on the hose bibb before the timer.
George!
This is fantastic!
Great content as usual but next level with a company rep demonstration.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Scott! Had a lot of fun with this one!
Great video George! Might look into getting this next year haven't had to water with all the rain we've gotten the last couple of days. I am also sick of above ground sprinklers constantly breaking and this product seems very high quality
Love my diy builds but sadly its time to retire those bad boys, im surprised it took so long for a solution to our problem lol
Great video, gotta love Kevin very professional and knowledgeable!!!
He’s a good dude, had fun working with him on this project
Added MP Rotators when I had my irrigation system updated last year. Live the coverage. This is a good option for a DIY install.
did you install your irrigation system?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare No had it put in years back. Added a zone last year and also more heads in existing for better coverage, including mp rotators.
Finely, an easy DIY sprinkler system that any beginner can use to begin water ones lawn. MP System!
Cowboy Cerrone sure knows a lot about irrigation.
This guy is legit! Awesome!
Keep posting em, George. Great content.
Thanks D! appreciate it
I have two Orbit sprinklers that work just fine. Thank you very much.
Sweet product, now on the email list for when they restock
Neat product! Thanks for sharing!
That’s a sweet setup! Great video, my friend.
Not as sweet as pumping from the lake 😂
I just recieved 8 mp stakes. I have used 6 mp3000 and 2 mp2000. My water pressure from the spigot is 40 PSI (municipal PSI is terrible, I don't even have a pressure valve on main supply). My max gpm is 5.5. I am able to run 3 mp3000 per zone. They throw water about 20 feet. I am super impressed. Thank you for the introduction to the product. My front yard reno thanks you. -Cory from Cental Illinois
Excellent stuff, I'll have to reference this video periodically for those asking about above ground setups...also, this really makes me want to swap out some of my rotators, the ones that seem to be clogged a bit. 😂
Thanks man, are you using the diy builds?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare no, I have the inground rotars. Pretty sure it's the hunter rotars too, cant remember off the top of my head.
That thing is pretty cool. I need to upgrade my irrigation system to the mp rotators. Great video George 👊🏼
They are the Shiz my friend!
With the confidence that Hunter guy has I'm sold I don't even need to see the product that is a solid surface of what you're doing no doubt no question he knows
Thank you for your kind words, with George's guidance im going to start a channel, stay tuned!
Hunter are the best sprinklers hands down
Thanks george!! Had no idea something like this was out there!! Great video as always!! You're co-star rocked it too ✌🏻🤟🏻👊🏻
Thanks JC! Ill him him know:)

@@PrincessCutLawnCare yes! Loved it.
That's a neat set up. Thanks for sharing it.
no problem dude!

I've gone legit 👊
George, great video. Have been looking for something like this solution for quite some time.
Thanks john much appreciated!
Water distribution is a serious matter and this guy gets it.
My lawn is too large for these, but to plant patches of new grass…excellent!!
my last house I installed the MP rotors, the best ever in my opinion, maybe a little expensive for the heads but work great.
I'm all for people putting out new products, but you don't have to trash other options in the process. I ran the Ryan Knorr MP rotator setup on stakes last year. The system worked flawless, didn't leak at all, and cost a lot less than the MP stake kits. Best of all, I was able to reuse the heads and nozzles when I installed underground irrigation this year.
people on the Lawnsite were running that set up 10 years before his video so by no means is this trashing his product
I swapped out all my underground heads at my sidewalk with Rotaters. No more watering the street or drive. They are very precise and easy to set up.
I’ve used these nozzles a lot there very easy to use. Easy to adjust didn’t know about the Bluetooth app but I do know u can add a WiFi module to ur compatible irrigation controller and can use it with ur phone. Nozzles have been out for a few years now 👍👍👍 I have installed a lot of irrigation systems around Charlotte nc 👍👍🇺🇸👍
I just want to say congrats. This is great, I am definitely going to look into it.
No problem Suhaib!,hey just wanted to tell you my cousins name is suhaid as well! sorry if i spell it wrong, im so used to typing his name haha
@@PrincessCutLawnCare hahaha no worries on the name. I wanted to ask, would there be in future, ability to customize the package for instance, if I want to add one more sprinkler, I don't necessarily need another bluetooth timer?
@@shoaibmanai1660 i just spoke with andy from sprinkler supply and he said you can also by the parts individually on the site
This is simply outstanding. Thanks George. Super helpful...especially with the fall season just around the corner.
Thanks marlon, appreciate you stopping by
Thank you for the great video.
“Normal”, “cheap” sprinklers have served us well for 25 years. My upgrade is a timer attachment.
this man does it all. Firefighter, police officer, doctor now hes doing lawn care you like to see it🤣
😜
I bought one MP-Stake kit to test. I don't know 'scientifically' if the lawn got a better watering, but sure worked better than the other endless big box stores' leaking-rusting-non-working sprinklers. Will buy some more and see if in one year my crabgrass looks healthier LOL.
Badass bro I am going to try this out for my lawn !
Nice! 😎
This looks really great. Appreciate you putting it all together. Cheers!
Perfecto !! thanks for sharing
Great video.. thanks 👌
Great video and information! Thanks so much
Glad it was helpful!
Love the video!! Time to buy a new system!!!
Thanks boss!
Love the 50 hoses all over the lawn. Looks great
Thanks for making a video haven't heard much from you this summer
Been a busy summer, happy to be back.
Thanks for stoppin by!
Outstanding 👍👍👍
Thanks raul!
Wow….that is awesome!
It is! Such a gamechanger for the diy guys
For myself that knows practically nothing about sprinklers, when I go to web site, shop for heads, lingo is above me. It would be so helpful for others like me to show the sprinkler head and how it sprays. This would include bubblers also.
George awesome video! I'm definitely going to check this out! I like Kevin's kick game too 🤙🏾💯
Thanks bro, I gotta grab me a pair of those 1’s!
Wow these are cool! Hunter is always ahead of the game with innovation.
They are! So much easier than the old school builds and I know you specifically know what im talking about Shawn! 😂
@@PrincessCutLawnCare wonder how they hold up to being run over 🤣🤣🤣
Oh god you would!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I’m still bitter about that lol. In all seriousness this looks like a great product though. I love my MP rotators. Even with a low pressure output from my spigot they work.
@whatever google Just like their push mower with the rusty top housing! I never buy another Toro again. OEM warranty is garbage too!
George !! This is next level success ! George I love your videos but Kevin totally stole the show ! Super well spoken and tossed in a couple flex 💪 bombs to show its on tight hahaha Great Video Brah
Thanks bro, kevin is the man and always welcome to come on the show anytime 😃
Thank you for your kind words
Looks like a pain to setup and more complicated than it needs to be. And the expense is nearly the part cost for a sprinkler system if you do the digging yourself. Similar battery operated valves don't last more than a season from my experience. But most important is you need to zone out your lot since you can only run a few sprinklers at a time. Better to just get a standard zone timer for $40, sprinker heads, pipe, and do some digging.
In most applications I would agree. However this system is modular and mobile, so that’s an advantage in certain situations such as mine
you need a hammer arrestor between the valve and the timer, otherwise the bluetooth ones do fail more quickly due to the surge of sudden stops and starts.
so every time i cut the grass, i take it all down. then reassemble. then re-align the rotators. no thanks.
@@pbrooks4040 exactly what i thought.. single woman with big yard, and dragging those hoses back up for the lawn mower guy UGH NO
That was interesting and good price point!
Thanks Brian, I don’t get excited about products often but this is a gamechanger for the community
brilliant
Definitely getting
Kevin will not only give you the most intimidating death stare but will also kill you with his kick game
You mean to tell me you like those retro 1s more than my new balance?? 😂

My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Thank you! You too!
Awesome, water...then tear it all down when you mow once or twice a week. I've used the Rainbird DIY system with great success. Just trench and insert the tubing in the ground.
Kevin scares the crap out of me. I will order 6 units now! Also I live in a condo.🤣🤣
Lmao your silly
Hope you live on the top floor so the water runs down evenly to your neighbors below…
Just Great
I love his outfit and the Jordans lol! Love it. I def needed a more efficient way to spray my old way is ticking me off. dragging the sprinkler all over a big yard lol

Thanks boss
I thought that Hunter rep was Armin Shimerman for a hot minute. The way he looked dead into the camera, it was slightly terrifying, yet intriguing.
gr8 idea
Barely getting into the home stuff but we're learning a lot as I go this seems like a lot more of a DIY project than say you know irrigating your whole sprinkler system yourself and digging up your lawn now if this is something you wanted to do for a permanent fix how would you go about setting it up I know garden hose probably isn't the best for long-term pressurized use on a timer like that what would you use to permanent above ground or permanent use of that pressure without any leaks for the future from the garden hose and taking up a spigot
Great video. As a DIY guy 😂 I can’t help myself. I just built 10 Rainbird 1800’s with the 360 rotator heads for a total of $5.18 each a couple weekends ago. With average water psi I can run up to 5 at a time from 1 hose. I also took an old 100ft hose and converted it into 10ft hoses. I haven’t seen the price of these but I’m doubting they come close to that. Getting Excellent coverage
Us DIY folks are OCD af. Especially if it works as good or better than store bought AND we can do it at a fraction of the cost.
I also built my own in-ground with 6 Rainbird 5000’s easily covering Over 10,000 square feet with garden hoses a 4 zone and 2 zone timers for barely $350. Works pretty damn good.
Wow how long did it take and is it above ground? what is a good 4 or 2 zone timer TIA
.....but.....you have to have city water pressure level, or one big kick ass well pump!
Those first few seconds of Kevin onscreen where he's standing with George and I'm thinking I'd rather take my chances kicking Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the crotch than mess with this guy! ;-)
I spent a LOT on those spray heads last year. I just checked and about 6 of them are broken already. I have yet to find spray heads that last or work any better than the standard orbit ones. The one advantage is they do control the water distribution better.
Hunter spray heads are 10/10. Make sure you winterize
Johnny Sins is a lawn care expert too? Noice!!

Nice work and great info. 😎👊🌴
Thanks man, do you have irrigation?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I do. I tried the MP rotors and I had to run them longer than my normal spray nozzle. I am sure the usage is the same when the output is the same, but I learned the MP’s are better suited for clay soil and not Sandy loom.
@@LawnNOrder I can see it, takes much longer for us to get water penetration
Looks like a nightmare to setup each time you want to water your grass
Yup. Thinking the same thing…
...mmm and someone will steal it !
I’ve been in the lawn sprinkler business for over 30 years. I’ll be honest I only made it 3 minutes into this video. I was just torn between “do it yourself, or do it right” type of mentality. As a home owner and a rental property owner I think I can confidently distinguish between “form vs. function”. Yes it works … but it seems like this is a solution for someone who’s time isn’t as valuable as I would consider mine. Just think I’m the long run it’s worth getting a system installed professionally and doing the minimal maintenance.
Dyi kits are the best!
😂
the Hunter guy is so serious lol
😆
I don’t see the difference between this product and a normal run of the mill sprinkler. Your still using hose that would need to be moved when mowing and moved to prevent leaving a burn Mark on the lawn from the hose if left in place when not in use. Also your not going to be able to attached more than probably two of those sprinklers off one hose line. You need to account for length and size of hose along with water pressure in order for more than one of those sprinklers to cover properly in order for it to work like an underground system works. Seems like fluff to me. Installing an underground system is an easy diy job if you put a little effort into it. Just my opinion.
Water pressure, flow rate, hose length and whether such a setup would be able to sustain more than two units at once also came to mind as I watched this. If I'm limited to 2 units based on available water pressure and flow and I follow the recommendation that both spray back at each other, then the largest area I can cover at a time is 30 square feet. That requires moving both units and hose multiple times to cover my roughly 4,000 sq ft lawn. That's simple enough to do, but it's not quite the "set it and forget it” solution presented. No shade, simple truth.
Since you mentioned it, do you recommend any specific resources online or off to reference/consult for installing sprinklers myself?
Sounds like you could learn a bit more about pressure regulated sprinkler heads. I've set up many systems and they work great if designed properly. Yes, they have more than 2 heads. We have 20 gallons a minute flow with plenty of pressure where I live. Some simple math will yield a viable set up.
@@LemonySnicket-EUC lol. I have installed a few irrigation systems in my time. I know exactly what needs to be figured. That was the point of my comment.
I agree. Waste of time.
@@aroundthehousewithpat31 I didn’t mine also. But I did it as a temporary solution at my new construction house. 🤣🤣🤣 I set up 6 Rainbird 5000’s with the 3.0 tip, got my placement using regular spikes, and then used old hoses I already had and buried everything. 6 heads covering about 11,000 square feet with a 5’-8’ overlap. Each head is it’s own zone and running a 4 zone timer from the front of the house and a 2 zone running from the back of the house to my side yard. With the timers I might have $350 into it. 🤣🤣🤣 My neighbors who’ve spent thousands were like “Wtf are you doing”
Pinky and the brain of the sprinkler game.
LOL you must be a 90s baby like me
@@PrincessCutLawnCare yes sir!
I like the DYI comment not respecting people trying to do stuff themselves knowing nothing about what they are doing
Sweet
I don't understand how this is better than using standard underground sprinkler parts available at a low price with wide variety and high quality everywhere. It's a lot more expensive, fragile, and more difficult to service though so I guess there's that.

Does best with city water pressure. I have a well and live in the countryside here in Michigan. My well water pressure is maximum 60psi. The units are humming in there at about 25 ft. But...if someone flushes, or washing machine operating and the streams come out about 3 ft. Also, don't use contractible hose! When it empties, it will collapse and pull your stake out! The Hunter 100 doesn't have an ON button, it does have an OFF but you cannot turn it on or off manually except to go out to the unit and shut it off manually. Beats the reason for a remote eh? Otherwise, its really cool. All the neighbors comin' over to check it out.
I've preferred Hunter over Orbit for sprinklers lately, but their plastic all-in-one valve timers won't last nearly as long as a timer and valve body setup. I've used the combo units on rental properties and had them crack and leak after 2-3 years, where the in-ground valves hold up much longer. I have yet to find a timer I like more than the Rain Bird that has run about ten years. I don't even think they make them that good anymore. Tempted to build and program my own.
