New at MPR Supply: Zentro Fire Pits 

 

Your next backyard patio project needs something different. It needs an old fashioned, real wood fire. But it doesn't need the smoke.

The solution? Zentro™ fire pits. Higher, more even temperatures mean faster cooking, and patent-pending smoke re-burning technology nearly eliminates annoying smoke for playing guitar, sipping hot cocoa or swapping stories.

The Zentro™ line of fire pits are designed to easily fit into any existing or new paver, patio or stone fire pit. This product fits ring sizes ranging from 30-inches to 47-inches in diameter.

Mosquito-Free Outdoor Spaces with NuTone Haven     

 

Prevent mosquitoes from invading your customers' outdoor living spaces.

Introducing Haven, a control system that wires into a new or existing 12V lighting system. When the system is turned on, low voltage electricity heats a repellent cartridge that delivers an odorless, silent and invisible vapor to repel mosquitoes. One fixture repels biting mosquitoes within a 110-square-foot area, and four fixtures provide enough coverage for the average size deck or patio. Each repellent cartridge provides 90 days of mosquito protection when used an average 2.4 hours a day.

  • Operates with or without low voltage landscape lighting
  • No candles, torches, sprays or smelly fuels required
  • Effective, convenient, season-long mosquito protection
  • Timer/Controller enables automatic operation

Go with K-Rain's Deluxe Rotor    

 

The innovative RPS75i from K-Rain continues to win new fans among professional contractors.

To reduce the radius and distance in other rotors on the market, the nozzle must be changed or the break-up screw must be engaged.  

These steps limit the maximum reduction to 25% and cause uneven watering.  

 

With the RPS 75i, a simple turn of the patented Flow Shut-Off controls distance and water flow proportionately-up to 50%.  

 

The RPS 75i delivers even water distribution, eliminates dry spots and provides better zone performance while saving water.  

 

All of this in just one rotor-the right rotor for every landscape!
