8. What are the advantages of having a rain sensor?

 
  • Saves You Money — Reduces your utility bill by overriding your irrigation system after adequate rainfall has been received.
  • Saves Your System — Reduces wear on your irrigation system because the system runs only when necessary.
  • Protects your Lawn — from too much watering.
  • Conserves water — Rainfall is used to water your lawn instead of fresh drinking water.
  • Conserves Community Resources — Using less water also extends the life of the water treatment plant (if you use a municipal water system).
