Cable Lock™ The Cable Makes the Difference!


Installing a watering system at your home can prolong the life of your foundation. It is an easy do-it-yourself project.


Keep your foundation safe from water fluctuations

Directions for Use:

Remember the goal of any watering system is to maintain consistent moisture content year around. During the dry summer water no less than twice a day (morning & evening) for at least 20 minutes. In the winter it may not be necessary to water at all if rainfall is about normal(around 4"). If you are tracking mud you have too much water. This can be just as harmful as too little.

Hardware List:
  • Soaker Hose (enough to outline the perimeter of the home + some)
  • 1 Vacum Breaker
  • 1 Timer
  • *(Optional) 1 Y to use with the hose bib. Use if you need access to the faucet for other purposes.
You will need one for each faucet you are working from.

This can be as easy as placing a soaker hose around your home & turning on the faucet. For better results follow the directions below.

Assembly:


  1. Dig a trench 18" out from the base of the home around the entire perimeter. The trench should be about 6" deep. You can work from multiple faucets to accommodate for driveways, sidewalks & patios.
  2. Place the soaker hose in the trench.
  3. Put the timer together & program it based on the season.
  4. Attach the vacuum breaker to the soaker hose
  5. Attach the timer to the faucet
  6. Connect the soaker hose to the timer & turn on the faucet. You are finished.
