From Big Leagues to Little Leagues, Hunter Institutional Series is in a League of its Own

PGP may be Hunter's biggest seller and the company's marquee product. However, it is the sprinkler's siblings - the I-25 Plus and I-40 Group rotors - that capture the spotlight as TV stars.

How's that? TV stars?

Just think about it. A Saturday afternoon in July. You turn on the tube and it's the Rockies and Padres. Coors Field. Lush turf courtesy of...Hunter Institutional Series products. Or maybe it's a crisp fall Sunday. The Packers playing host to the Dolphins on national TV. That spectacular turf at Lambeau Field? Once again, the result of Hunter.

From the Golden State to the Sunshine State, from the Big Apple to the Big Easy, when it's lights, camera, action time for outdoor sporting events, chances are that green field being shown on TV screens across America is one with Hunter beneath its surface.

And, while hundreds of current professional athletes perform regularly on turf irrigated by Hunter, thousands more future pros make triple plays and touchdowns on landscapes made green by these same products. That's because I-25, I-40, ICV valves and ICC controllers are also the popular choice for installations at community parks, high school athletic fields and other such sites where amateur sportsmen come to hone their skills.

I-25: Efficiency Meets Economy

Some rotors can provide you with durability. Others give you performance. And others still grant you economy. But to service medium to large area needs, no single rotor blends these characteristics together to such an outstanding degree as the popular I-25 Plus.

It's obvious that this solid performer has achieved great popularity because it has been built to last. Extra beefy construction outdoes the competition and the option of a stainless steel riser provides even more toughness. But, over the years, what has enabled Hunter to uphold the rotor's high esteem with fans has been continuous enhancements.

One example is the patented VStat® self-adjusting stator. With no stator rings required, it drives with more power and adds years to sprinkler life. Another is the ProTech™ safety system, featuring a small exposed heavy-duty rubber cover and boot that keeps playing areas safe, and an exposed surface area that is the industry's smallest in its category.

The I-25 Plus also boasts a heavy-duty ribbed cap and body that stands up to heavy traffic and provides a better grip for easy servicing. And, a full dozen color-coded nozzles that offer outstanding flexibility, identification and distribution uniformity - in short, optimum performance in both primary and secondary coverage.

I-40: It's a Fielder's Choice

Stadiums, diamonds, practice fields, pitches, ovals. Across the globe, the I-40 is now the rotor of choice at playing surfaces of virtually all uses and shapes. But, that's not the only (pardon the pun) arena where Hunter's top-of-the-line rotor shines. This long distance specialist is also a proven performer at parks, campuses and commercial sites.

How I-40 became such a "fave" for so many is really no surprise when you take a moment to look at all of the impressive features the rotor offers - the same patented ProTech safety system and VStat variable stator as the I-25, convenient through-the-top easy arc adjustment from 40º-360º, a stainless steel riser and spring to ensure long term positive retraction, and a factory-installed drain check valve with full 15 foot check height to save water and reduce liability issues. But, perhaps the greatest edge the I-40 has over the competition is its system of six interchangeable nozzles that give the rotor an unparalleled ability to deliver water accurately and efficiently at distances up to 74 feet.

The I-40 also is available in a high-speed version - the I-42 - designed specifically for playing surfaces that call for quick, light wetdowns. Clay tennis courts, baseball infields and any other areas that require dust control or normal turf irrigation can benefit from the precise applications that this specialty rotor can provide.

The Complete Institutional Series

Thanks to the recent introduction of the ICC controller and ICV valve, all the components necessary to make a complete Hunter-brand commercial-grade system are now available.

The ICC is literally teeming with user-friendly features. Four fully-independent programs, an easy-to-read display with dial programming, 365-day calendar clock, programmable master valve, cycle & soak capability, seasonal adjustment and rain sensor bypass...the list goes on. Best of all, the revolutionary ICC allows you to "customize" the size of your controller by "building" up from an 8-station base unit, adding 4- or 8-station modules.

Solid, yet simple, the ICV offers heavy-duty construction that makes this plastic valve as durable as any commercial valve currently on the market, including many of those made of brass. Available in 1", 1-1/2" and 2" models, the ICV is an excellent choice for larger landscapes that require flows in the .25 to 200 GPM range and is guaranteed efficient to 200 psi. Also available is the ICV Filter Sentry™ which adds a scouring system that virtually eliminates filter contaminant build-up. An option available for both valves is the Accu-Set™ pressure regulator that features easy dial setting.

And if you are still looking for one more feature that sets Hunter commercial-grade products apart from everyone else's, how about this: all Hunter Institutional Series products - rotors, valves and controllers alike - come with an unmatched 5-year warranty...the best in the industry.
