Wireless Flow Sync Sensor

The pitch: Hunter's Wireless Flow Sync sensor offers irrigation professionals a simple way to add flow monitoring to a system, protecting even the largest landscapes from damage and wasted water. The WFS monitors flow and instantly notifies the controller in case of a broken pipe or leak, prompting the system to shut down.Wireless flow sensor saves time, materials and labor

• The sensor provides station-level flow monitoring for reaction to high- or low-flow conditions, helping to protect against waste and damage from leaks
• Sensor is pre-calibrated for K-factor and Offset based on pipe size, allowing for quick setup and programming within the controller
• A multi-color LED on the receiver indicates proper communication to the transmitter, as well as remaining battery life

Rain Bird WR2-48 Wireless Rain/Freeze Sensor

The pitch: Rain Bird’s WR2-48 Wireless Rain Sensor has an electronic 48-hour delay, preventing irrigation from happening after at least ¼” of rain. If there’s additional precipitation during the delay, the sensor restarts the countdown.

• After a measurable rain, soil doesn’t need water for at least 48 hours, but by delaying irrigation for a minimum of 48 hours, WR2-48 eliminates wasteful overwatering
• Independent testing shows disc-based rain sensors dry out faster than the soil, allowing irrigation before it’s needed
• Programming is simple, as users can simply select set points, program the irrigation modes and save them as default settings. Plus, the battery is long-lasting but easy to replace when needed
• The easy-to-install sensor brackets can be hooked up to flat surfaces and rain gutters, and the antennas on the device are concealed
