Irritrol RainSensor Series

Revolutionize Your Irrigation Management

The Irritrol RainSensor™ series elevates water management by preventing irrigation during or immediately after sufficient rainfall. These reliable rain sensors, available in both wired and wireless models, conserve water. The wireless rain/freeze sensor also helps reduce vegetation damage and ice-related conditions when temperatures drop below a predetermined point. With a compact design and numerous convenient features, the RainSensor series is the perfect complement to any standard controller.
