It Untwerp

Oer Arc Dûs Wetterflosser

ARC is in dûswetterflosser dy't ûntworpen is om yn de deistige dûsroutine te passen. ARC wurdt oan de dûsslang befêstige en makket gebrûk fan de besteande wetterdruk, sadat gjin elektrisiteit of batterijen nedich binne. It hânstik hâldt in ferfangbere fjouwerrjochtingswettersitraalkop dy't tusken de tosken en lâns de tosknerâne skjinmakket. Trije ynstelbere ynstellingen meitsje in sêfte of in sterkere wetterstream mooglik, en in multyfunksjonele knop wikselt tusken de wetterstrielen. In kompakt, fochtwjerstannich opburchstasjon mei in magnetyske befêstiging hâldt ARC fêst as it net brûkt wurdt.
