Hunter Mini-Clik®

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.

Hunter Rain-Clik™

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.

Hunter Wireless Rain-Clik™

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.

Hunter Wind-Clik®

Shuts off irrigation systems during periods of high wind

Look at any sprinkler’s performance chart and you’ll see that the data was gathered from tests conducted under zero wind conditions. Of course, in the real world, not every day is a calm one. And, while most sprinklers can still perform at close to peak efficiency with some type of breeze, when the air movement starts to get stronger, water coverage can get challenging, questionable and downright messy. It can even become a liability issue when windblown sprinklers soak pedestrian paths or roadways with passing cars. The Hunter Wind-Clik® offers the most cost-effective solution to such situations as it shuts off irrigation systems during periods of high wind (shut down points are adjustable), then automatically resets the system when conditions are more favorable. With Wind-Clik® you’ll save water, worry and money as your system will only be operating at the times when you can be sure that the water intended for your landscape will reach its destination. For effective wind control, you’ll be blown away by Wind-Clik®…instead of simply seeing your water blown away by the wind.

Hunter Freeze-Clik®

Prevent irrigation systems from activating by automatically stopping the flow of water when the outdoor temperature drops to a near freezing level.

In many areas, it is quite common to have mild temperatures in the evening, then have a freeze set in overnight. If your automatic irrigation system were set to go on as usual during this chill, in the morning you would find a landscape frozen over, with ice on adjoining driveways, sidewalks and even roadways. In places with temperature swings like this, the results are not only hazardous to the life of your lawn and plants, it can also be hazardous to those who may walk or drive nearby. With the Hunter Freeze-Clik® you can prevent irrigation systems from activating by automatically stopping the flow of water when the outdoor temperature drops to a near freezing level. When the temperature rises above that set point, Freeze-Clik® simply resets your system to its regular cycle. Easy to mount, easy to use, Freeze-Clik® can also be used in conjunction with other weather sensing devices to guarantee the optimum effectiveness of a landscape irrigation system in virtually all types of weather

Hunter Mini-Weather Station

Each of Hunter's three different sensor devices combined into one single convenient unit.

Having a climate like a smorgasbord can make for some tricky business when it concerns your irrigation system. Of course, you can simply look out the window and decide whether to turn on the sprinklers manually each day, but that defeats the purpose of an automatic system. What you really need is an automatic device that can make the decision whether there is too much rain, too much wind or too much cold to do the watering. With the Hunter Mini-Weather Station you get each of Hunter's three different sensor devices in one single convenient unit. The Mini-Clik rain sensor shuts sprinklers off in a storm and keeps them off, automatically compensating for the amount of rainfall that occurred. The Freeze-Clik prevents system activation by automatically stopping the flow of water when outdoor temperatures drop near freezing. The Wind-Clik shuts off systems during periods of high wind, then automatically resets the system when conditions are more favorable. Easy to mount (it attaches to your controller with just two wires) and easy to use, the Mini-Weather Station takes all the guesswork out of when you shouldn't water.

This sensor includes Wind, Rain and Freeze Sensors
