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.
