Rain Sensor

All automatic irrigation systems are required by Florida law to have a working rain sensor, or other moisture-sensing device, to prevent your system from turning on when rain is sufficient.

Follow our easy step-by-step Rain Sensors 101 guide to make sure your rain sensor is working properly.
