The Cloud Burst Sprinkler Company of Benicia, California has been manufacturing and selling a water efficient sprinkler exclusively to Home Depot for the last two years.

The initial proposal submitted by ACE is to purchase 50,304 sprinklers which will result in a dozen sprinklers stocked in every store.
