Rain Bird WR2RFC-48 Rain Freeze Sensor with 48 Hour Delay
Stop watering in the rain and save money with the Rain Bird WR2RFC-48 Wireless Rain/Freeze Sensor Combo. This smart, reliable sensor automatically prevents your irrigation system from running during rain or freezing conditions, helping you save up to 35% on water usage.
What sets the WR2RFC-48 apart is its built-in 48-hour rain delay. After it stops raining, the sensor automatically holds watering for 48 hours, allowing the ground to absorb the moisture and complying with even the strictest water conservation mandates.
Rain Bird designed this sensor for an incredibly simple, one-person installation. A versatile mounting bracket attaches quickly to any gutter or flat vertical surface, while signal strength indicators on both the sensor and the controller interface ensure you have a solid connection. Programming is just as easy on the intuitive, easy-to-read LCD screen, where you can adjust rainfall settings (from 1/8” to 1/2”) and freeze temperature set points (from 33°F to 41°F) to match your exact needs.
With a superior wireless signal (up to 700 ft. line of sight) and a long-lasting, easy-to-replace battery, the WR2RFC-48 is the set-it-and-forget-it solution for a healthier landscape and lower water bills.
