Automatic Rain Shutoff
The Rain
Check is indispensable in all automatic irrigation systems for residential use.
It monitors
rainfall levels and automatically overrides the controller to prevent
unnecessary irrigation cycles.

sensing probes offer the flexibility of triggering the rain shutoff with
as little as 1/8" (3,2 mm) of precipitation or when rainfall reaches
or exceeds 1/2" (12,6 mm).
- Water in rain collector pan
evaporates faster than soil moisture to permit watering if required.
- Electronic design eliminates
micro switches and water absorbing disks which may rust and/or wear out
- UV resistant plastic
construction increases operating life in harsh environments.
- Works with almost all 24 VAC
controllers for maximum versatility.
