A rain sensor is exactly what it sounds like. It is a device that detects if it is actually raining outside, and can automatically shut off your sprinkler systems whether you are home or away. Storms are truly unpredictable and when one strikes, folks aren’t always around to make sure their irrigation system is shut off so their lawn gets watered by the system and the rain storm. This wastes a ton of water. By installing a rain sensor, you don’t have to worry about that anymore.
We have explored the importance of water conservation as well as cutting back on water consumption, and this device is a pivotal component of all of our irrigation systems. A rain sensor will not only cut down the usage of your sprinkler system when it is raining, but it will also cut down on your water bill.
If you have a sprinkler system yourself without a rain sensor, do yourself a favor and invest the $30 to get one. They are relatively inexpensive items to purchase, and for the amount of money you are sure to save, it will be a good investment.
