A good hose is also vital for your portable sprinkler to work efficiently. A good hose will roll up easily in any weather and does not kink or crack. A cheap hose will give you more maintenance headaches down the road as it tend to kink and crack after using it for some times. You will also waste precious water due to leakage from the cheap hose.

It is also advisable to hook up a timer between your faucet and your hose. You simply set up the timer and it will shut off the sprinkler automatically after the set amount of time has elapsed. This will prevent any wastage of water.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, nearly 5,000 people die each year in the U.S. because of fires -- an average of 14 per day. In addition, more than 28,000 people are injured in fires each year -- 70 percent of them in private homes. Those most at risk include children, the handicapped and the elderly. In addition to the loss of life, every year fires cause $8.5 billion in property damage.

CPVC (post-chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), which has proven superior for many general plumbing applications, is also becoming the material of choice for residential and commercial fire sprinkler systems. BlazeMaster fire sprinkler systems are an example of a CPVC system that is designed to have a 50-year life expectancy, with a safety factor of two. Although less expensive than metal systems, BlazeMaster CPVC fire sprinkler systems are more durable. Unlike steel systems, CPVC systems can be fabricated on site, so any blueprint changes can be accommodated immediately.
