The world's most simple, accurate, rugged and reliable rain sensors

There’s nothing more embarrassing – or more wasteful or costly – than an irrigation system that runs when it doesn’t have to…in the rain. And the simplest, most effective way to prevent your sprinklers from coming on during or after precipitation is the Hunter Mini-Clik®. Easily installed on any automatic irrigation system, Mini-Clik® shuts sprinklers off in a storm and keeps them off, automatically compensating for the amount of rainfall that occurred. Disks absorb water and then expand proportionally to the amount of rain that fell (e.g., a small cloudburst would result in little absorption, a thunderstorm with 6" of rain would lead to more absorption and thus more expansion). As the moisture-laden disks expand, they eventually activate a switch that interrupts the circuit from the controller to the solenoid valves. Once dry, they contract and release the switch. Thus, the Mini-Clik® automatically resets without ever affecting your controller. Built to withstand the harshest conditions, there’s no better way to ensure that your system isn’t watering when it isn’t necessary…no wonder the Mini-Clik® name has been synonymous with rain sensors for more than two decades.

The reliable rain sensor with instant shut-off

The reason to install a rain sensor is so an automatic irrigation system that is scheduled to run will be able to shut off and NOT run when it is raining, right? However, most rain-sensing devices must first accumulate a set amount of rainfall before a switch is activated that interrupts the circuit from the controller and shuts off the system. In that “accumulation time,” the system will continue to water, giving the appearance a precious resource is being wasted…exactly the opposite impression a municipality, a business or an upstanding citizen would like to convey. Only the Hunter Rain-Clik™, with its unique Quick Response™ feature, can command a controller to shut off immediately – not after a quarter- or a half-inch, but right when it starts to rain. And, unlike any of its competitors, the Rain-Clik™ can be mounted in a variety of ways: on a rain gutter, on conduit, with a telescoping extension to bring the unit away from an eave, or in the standard method on a flat vertical surface like a wall or fence.

The first reliable wireless rain sensor

If the thought of running wires from a controller has kept you from adding rain sensors to your systems, now there’s a hassle-free alternative. The Hunter Wireless Rain-Clik™ attaches quickly and easily and delivers a dependable way to ensure that your landscape isn’t getting water when it doesn’t need it. Simply install the receiver unit next to your irrigation controller, then install the transmitter anywhere that the device can receive representative rainfall. No ladders needed to attach to a high outcropping on a building, no messy wires to hide out of view. What could be more simple? What also sets a Hunter Rain-Clik™ apart are features no other rain-sensing device offers. The unique Quick Response™ feature allows the product to shut off immediately when it starts to rain. And, unlike its competition, Hunter’s sophisticated sensing mechanism cannot be fouled by debris, giving the Wireless Rain-Clik™ the most highly accurate operation.
