What device should I choose to avoid unnecessary water waste when watering my garden?
When the soil is sufficiently moist, the automatic irrigation system does not activate or stops irrigation if already running. This ensures significant water savings while keeping your plants healthy and properly irrigated.
Rain Sensors
Rain sensors prevent unnecessary water waste by automatically stopping irrigation during rainfall.
They can be connected to AC or battery-powered irrigation controllers (compatibility must be checked).
When rainfall reaches approximately 5 mm per square meter (adjustable on most models), irrigation stops. Watering automatically resumes once the collected water evaporates. The sensor must be installed outdoors, fully exposed to rain, using the supplied stainless steel mounting bracket.
Soil Moisture Sensors
Soil moisture sensors provide maximum water efficiency by directly measuring soil moisture levels. When the soil is sufficiently wet, irrigation will not start or will stop if already in progress.
These sensors are compatible with specific irrigation controllers, and in most cases the desired moisture level is adjustable, offering precise control. Installation is done directly into the soil in outdoor areas.
Water Flow Meter – Hunter HC Flow Meter
The water flow meter by Hunter is one of the most advanced water-saving tools available. It works exclusively with Hunter Hydrawise controllers and is managed remotely via Wi-Fi.
The HC Flow Meter allows:
- Detection of broken pipes
- Identification of damaged sprinklers
