Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Toro wired rain sensor saves water and money by automatically interrupting your irrigation system when it rains. It works by absorbing rainwater and then responds by interrupting power to the valves. The rain sensor will then gradually dry out, as does the soil, allowing sprinklers to run as scheduled. Rain sensitivity can be adjusted from 1/8 to 1 inch. Requiring no tools, this system is easy to install by using the Quick Clip gutter bracket. The rain sensor includes 25 feet of UL rated connection wire for connecting the sensor and the controller. Compatible with any sprinkler timer, it does not interfere with nor change the system's programming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toro Rain Sensor, August 31, 2007

By	M. Tindell "Retiree" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not much to say; it does the job.

Installation instuctions were quite good, detailing a wiring connection change necessary for certain models of timers.

A particularly good value when purchased through Amazon.

Toro Wired Rain Sensor #53769 Great product... easy to install. Works on either a "closed circuit" or "open circuit" irrigation station.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toro Wired Rain Sensor is Awesome, July 12, 2008

By	Joseph A. Malucci - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I replaced my Hunter wired sensor that has been "baked" almost since the day I installed it. It just never worked right. The Houston, Texas sun and humidity may have something to do with this. This Toro wired rain sensor is awesome. It took 10 minutes to install and works! I am using it with a Toro controller and that may be the reason it's superior over the Hunter. I feel this sensor is a great value and I strongly recommend it!
