The one I have goes on the end of a hose and cost about 5.00.

Thanks, DS - it's certainly worth a try. We asked at Home Depot about
something to reduce the water pressure and they said the only thing they
carry is the "whole house" reducers. Actually, I haven't looked online
yet,
either, so maybe between the internet and Wally World I'll have success.

I got a pressure reducer at Wally World. It has a max. out put of
30psi.
It's in the gardening section with the drip irrigation supplies. Maybe
that
would work?

I received my motion-activated scarecrow yesterday and got to go out
and
set
it up and play with it today . . . it is AWESOME!! I am very
impressed
with the design and the quality, and the thing really works well!
Well,
I
don't know about working on predators yet, but it sure did get me
soaked
quite a few times tonight, and my husband, too! We're not used to
having
it around yet and got caught by it many times.... too funny! The
only
two things I need to buy now are some sort of water pressure
reducer....
our
pressure is at 120 and they don't recommend using it with pressure
over
80,
and a "Y" with a short piece of hose. I can see that it will be a
pain
in
the butt to keep disconnecting the hose to use around the pond and
garden
and then connecting it back up to the scarecrow when it's time to go
in.
Anyway, if anyone has ever hesitated getting one, do yourself a favor
and
indulge, it's really neat. I'm going to try and make sure the
neighborhood
kids don't hear about it, though, or they will be over "playing" with
it
all
the time. Those are actually the predators I would LOVE to deter,
but
water ain't gonna do it.
