Essential Info

Stop wasting water during unexpected rainstorms. By connecting a rain sensor to your irrigation system, your sprinklers can shut off automatically when it starts raining, so you won't be watering your lawn unnecessarily. Best of all, the Solar Wireless Rain/Freeze Sensor requires no electricity or connection wires, so it sets up in minutes and won't add to your monthly utility bills.

    The Solar Wireless Rain/Freeze Sensor gets its power from the sun. This sensor mounts easily to a rain gutter or any flat surface using the included mounting materials, and the sun charges its internal battery. When the sensor detects rainfall, it sends a wireless signal up to 200 feet to the receiver, which connects to your timer system to shut it off automatically. You can adjust the amount of rainfall detected, from one-eighth inch to one inch, before sending the signal.

    The waterproof Solar Wireless Rain/Freeze Sensor can be used with either indoor or outdoor timers, and it also contains a digital freeze sensor, which prevents your sprinkler from running in freezing conditions to protect your lawn and garden area. A manual bypass switch allows watering any time.

    DENNIS -- north babylon, NY   4/14/2008
    The ordering process is great, and delivery was ahead of schedual, as far as the rain sensor is concerned, the installiation went smoothly and the instructions were easy to follow. total time to install was about 15 minutes, which includes returning the ladder to my neighbor. As to the operation of the rain sensor, I do not know, it has not rained yet.

    The product has great potential, all we haven't had much rain to speak of it's a great idea.
    DAVID -- bremerton, WA   7/28/2007
    Great product, no batteries to replace. It was easy to install, works great. I live in Washington State and it does rain here... a definite water saver for me. I've had it for a month now and it has gone through several rain delay cycles and my lawn is the best looking in the neighborhood.

    I was told this product would work with the Automatic Yard Watering System but it does not. I had to return it.
    NEIL -- massapequa, NY   6/29/2007
    Easy to install. Interfaced easily with the timer control box. Worked well on a test basis. Still waiting to test and adjust it in actual rain conditions.
