Rain Bird's Proven Wireless Rain Sensor
Signal strength feature ensures reliability after insallation
Rain sensors are a "must have" for optimal water management. With the proven Rain Bird WR2 wireless sensor, installing a sensor couldn't be easier.
Proven performance with reliable signal transmission makes this unit stand out from others on the market. Plus user-friendly features cut installation and programming time in half.
Signal strength is displayed on both the sensor unit and the controller interface. The sensor's innovative versatile mounting bracket quickly attaches securely to a gutter or any vertical surface.
Programming the WR2 is simplified for fast set-up. In just a few seconds, you can select set points, program the irrigation modes and save your contractor default. On the controller interface, all settings are displayed on the easy-to-read LCD screen, so you can see signal strength, rain and temperature set points, battery life and more at a glance. Unlike others, it has a long-lasting battery that's replaceable.
See How Flo-Well™ Gravel Free Dry Well Saves You Time and Money
Flo-Well™ replaces a traditional drywell by eliminating the need to haul heavy gravel to the site, reducing costs of installation.
The Flo-Well has been helping contractors cut their labor costs and time on the job for over 10 years.
The Flo-Well is a manufactured drywell that can replace traditional gravel-only dry wells when used with the NDS aggregate only EZflow bundles which replace gravel in a common Flo-Well installation.
If EZflow is not available, a 3" layer of gravel should be poured around the diameter of the product to ensure void space exists. Flo-Well can be piped to other Flo-Wells creating a larger water management capacity - each Flo Well can handle up to 55 gallons of water.
You can also pipe to and from a Flo-Well using SDR or Corrugated pipe ranging in size from 3" up to 8". Flo-Well also has an optional riser with a grate that allows water to flow directly into the Flo-Well to correct low spots in the yard or other drainage problems.
