Rain Sensors
The irrigation season may be drawing to a close in the coming moths however that’s not stopping us adding the finishing touches to our customer’s irrigation systems.
This week we visited a customer in Ascot to install a Hunter Rain-CLIK sensor to their irrigation system which enables them to prevent water waste when the weather takes a turn for the worse. Most rain-sensors work by accumulating a set amount of rainfall before a switch is activated thereby shutting off the system, in the time it take for the sensor to detect a sufficient amount of water to shut the system off, the irrigation system will unnecessarily continue to water. The Hunter Rain-CLIK has built in quick response technology that instantly shuts down the irrigation system as soon as it starts raining or if the temperature drops to 3 degrees, thus reducing unnecessary waste water and preventing frost damage to pipes.
