Browse Sensors for Rain that Work with Your Irrigation Controller
Need a wireless or wired rain sensor for your sprinkler or irrigation system controller? Reinders has your back with the best-rated wireless and wired models from top brands like Toro, Hunter and Rain Bird!
Rain and rain/freeze sensors have become “must have” components for commercial irrigation and sprinkler systems. They boost money savings by shutting off the sprinkler or irrigation management system when it rains via your controller.
For those who want to save their client money, a wired rain or rain/freeze sensor for sprinklers or irrigation provides your basic functions for a cheaper price. However, the wireless sensor will have a much broader range of rain- or low-temperature-sensing options that will help you tailor the system to your unique needs. The no-wire option also makes installation in more places easy and looks nicer. After a few months, the system will have paid for itself.
Here’s a closer look at our product offerings:
Hunter’s Rain-Clik® sensors
Most rain-sensing devices for irrigation or sprinkler setup systems work by accumulating a set amount of rainfall before a switch is activated that interrupts the circuit from the controller and shuts off the system. In that accumulation time, your system will unnecessarily continue to water.
In contrast, the Hunter Rain-Clik® sensor with built-in Quick Response™ technology can enable your sprinkler or irrigation controller system for shut-off right when it starts to rain. The Rain-Clik® can be mounted on an eave or any flat vertical surface like a wall or fence. A mount is also available that allows for easy gutter installations.
