Rain Sensors

As concerned citizens, we are all interested in the role we can play in conserving water. For your Automatic Irrigation System there is now a product available which conserves water and saves money.

A new and effective accessory for your Automatic Sprinkler System is the automatic rain sensor. This device is connected to your time clock and will cancel or stop the operation of your system in the event of natural rainfall. The rain sensor collects the rainfall and depresses a switch which breaks the circuit from the controller. After the rain, the sensor drys at approximately the same rate as the grass. The system then returns to normal watering.

Our installation includes a custom-made override switch and light indicator advising you that the rain gauge is overriding the setting. If for any reason, you wish to void the rain sensor you can do so by simply throwing a switch.

Most water districts already require this device on automatic lawn sprinkler systems and it is believed that other water districts will follow suit.

Remote Controls

For those interested in gadgets, Automatic Irrigation Design installs a remote control transmitter. With a touch of a button your sprinkler can be turned on up to 200 feet away from your master station. You can turn each zone on individually or all zones at the same time. This unit will also set your watering time.
