Find a model that saves money and makes installation easy, with features that automatically shut off watering in conditions like rain and high wind speeds.

Hunter

Look at any sprinkler’s performance chart and you’ll see that the data was gathered from tests conducted under zero wind conditions. Of course, in the real world, not every day is a calm one. And, while most sprinklers can still perform close to peak efficiency with some type of breeze, when air movement starts to get stronger, water coverage can become challenging. It can even become a liability issue when windblown sprinklers soak pedestrian paths or roadways.

This is where weather sensors come in, helping irrigation professionals save time, money and resources.

The Hunter Wind-Clik sensor, for instance, saves water and enhances system efficiency by shutting off irrigation during high wind conditions. Once conditions have improved, Wind Clik resets the system and resumes irrigation.

Features include:

  • Switch rating: 24 VAC, 5 A maximum
  • Wind actuation speed: 12 to 35 mph
  • Reset speed: 8 to 24 mph
  • Height: 4 inches
  • Wind vane diameter: 5 inches

We also carry Hunter’s Mini-Clik Rain Sensor with Conduit Mount and Hunter’s Mini-Clik Rain Sensor for Normally Open Switch.

These sensors save water – and money – by halting irrigation when they determine that a preset amount of rain has fallen. Installation is easy on any automatic irrigation system. Once the rain stops, the Mini-Clik allows the controller to resume normal irrigation. Mini-Clik is compatible with all Hunter irrigation controllers and most other controllers, too.

Key benefits:

  • Shuts off sprinkler system automatically when it rains
  • Adjustable from ⅛" to ¾" of rainfall
  • Debris tolerant for reliable operation
  • Mountable to gutters
  • Stainless steel guard with Mini-Clik sensor for commercial applications

We also carry Hunter’s Wireless Solar Sync, a weather-based sensor that adjusts irrigation schedules based on daily climate conditions like precipitation, temperature and high-speed winds.

Solar Sync saves water by automatically adjusting irrigation run times daily. It works by measuring the sun's intensity and surrounding air temperature, then implementing the most optimal controller zone run times based on that data. Through these continual adjustments, Solar Sync saves you money and ensures efficient irrigation, no matter what the forecast looks like.

Features:

  • Wireless sensor and receiver with 800-foot maximum range
  • Compatible with X-Core, I-Core and ACC controllers
  • No water window programming available in most controllers
  • Rain and freeze shutoff
  • Gutter mount bracket included

Or, you can combine different Hunter irrigation sensor devices – the Mini-Clik rain sensor, the Freeze-Clik and the Wind-Clik — into one, with Hunter ‘s Mini-Weather Station Wind/Rain Sensor or Hunter’s Mini-Weather Station Rain, Wind, & Freeze Sensor.

In addition to the Rain Clik and Wind Clik sensors (above), Hunter’s Freeze-Clik prevents system activation by automatically stopping irrigation when outdoor temperatures drop near freezing. 

Attaching to the irrigation controller with just two wires, this compact weather station is ready to go to work, ensuring efficient watering even during drastic climate changes.

  • Easy to install on automatic irrigation systems
  • Conditions for high wind speed shutdown: 12 to 35 mph
  • Conditions for rainfall shutdown: 1/8" to 1" of rainfall
  • Automatically shuts off system when temperatures fall below 37 degrees Fahrenheit

Irritrol

For simple, water-saving, weather-following, automatic irrigation control, Irritrol’s Climate Logic® weather sensor system is a customer favorite.

It consists of three components – a wireless-transmitting weather sensor that easily installs outdoors and wireless receiver module and SD card to attach to the Irritrol controller. The SD card gives you the 10-year, local historical weather information. We also sell Irritrol’s Climate Logic Mini-Receiver by itself and Climate Logic® Remote Control - Transmitter Only.

Only need a sensor for rain? We carry Irritrol’s Wireless RainSensor™, with the following features:

  • Compatible with nearly all controllers
  • Smart Bypass™ for easy system override
  • Constant communication between transmitter and receiver

Looking for just the RainSense™ rain receiver or rain and freeze receiver? We carry both!

The system monitors weather data via sensors, transmits it to the module, then alters the irrigation controller’s program accordingly. As for compatibility, the Climate Logic Weather Sensing System works with the Rain Dial®-R, Total Control®-R, KwikDial® and the new MC-E controllers (blue model).

Rain Bird

The Rain Bird WS-PRO2 Weather Station, when used in conjunction with the Rain Bird Cirrus, Nimbus II, or Stratus II Central Control system, provides the irrigation professional with a powerful tool for saving money, power and water.

Rain Bird’s Smart Weather™ software retrieves recent climate information from the WS-PRO2 that’s been gathered on a daily basis. Sensors capture data on the following weather conditions for irrigation professionals: rainfall, high wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity and solar radiation. The software then runs that data through a version of the modified Penman Equation (a reliable predictor of turf grass water-use requirements).

WS-PRO2 weather stations offer easy installations and include a logger to capture the data, a power supply and a modem to communicate the information to the Smart Weather software located on the central control computer.

We carry the direct-connect configuration of Rain Bird’s WS-PRO2 Weather Station for irrigation professionals. This wire system is intended for use when the station is within 20,000 feet of the central control computer and communication is via a wire path between the weather station and the computer. A separate local power source is required for this station.

We also carry Rain Bird’s WS-PRO LT - Hardwire. (Both WS‑PRO2 and the WS-PRO LT provide evapotranspiration (ET) management and reporting capabilities through Rain Bird central control systems. But only the WS-PRO2 offers optional intelligent alarm and irrigation control responses through Rain Bird's powerful Smart Weather™ software.)

Need to add or replace components of Rain Bird’s ClimateMinder system for irrigation? ClimateMinder gives commercial irrigation professionals access to real-time actionable data via sensors – including weather conditions like rainfall, high-speed winds and temperature.

We carry the following Aquacheck Profile probes for ClimateMinder’s soil moisture sensors (sensors at each depth allow the grower to watch water move through the profile, making sure irrigation is reaching the root zone instead moving past it):

We also offer irrigation professionals the following sensors for Rain Bird’s ClimateMinder system:
