Hunter Introduces New Wireless Combination Rain/Freeze Sensor

Hunter has expanded their ever-growing roster of weather sensor products with the introduction of the new WRFC Wireless Rain/Freeze-Clik™. The new product is ideal for those areas where it is necessary or advisable to install both a rain sensor and a freeze sensor. The two products combined into one provide an easier to install, more affordable alternative.

The product’s rain sensor feature compensates for natural rainfall by overriding the system. The freeze sensor component keeps sprinklers off when watering, eliminating the chance for ice on plants or walkways. The WRFC works in tandem with any standard 24 volt controller, regardless of brand. The wireless installation sets up in seconds—with no wires to string, no holes to drill, and no ladder needed to access the eaves. Simply hang the receiver by the controller, then hang the transmitter out where it is exposed to the elements.

The WRFC is the second wireless product in Hunter’s sensor line, following the popular Wireless Rain-Clik™ Rain Sensor. Both wireless products boast a battery life of 12 years.

The WRFC is the ideal sensor product for areas with climates that have both precipitation and freezing temperatures…and where irrigation systems are used year-round (the rain and freeze sensing mechanisms work independently of each other). Such regions as Texas, Georgia, California’s Sierra Nevada, and the Rocky Mountain states are just a few areas for which the WRFC is perfectly suited.

With the growing number of municipalities requiring the inclusion of a rain sensor on new—and, in many cases, existing—installations, the WRFC is an ideal addition to a system that contends with possible freeze conditions, as well.
