It senses accumulated rainfall and interrupts the controller's program until moisture levels drop, then restores normal operation. Designed for straightforward mounting and low-maintenance use, this compact sensor helps conserve water, reduce run-off, and protect plants and turf from excess moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the MiniClik detect rain and stop my sprinklers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MiniClik uses an internal mechanism that measures accumulated rainfall. When the preset threshold is reached, it opens the circuit to the irrigation controller so scheduled zones are skipped. Once the sensor dries below the threshold, the circuit closes and the controller resumes its normal program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePreset activation point triggers an electrical open to pause the controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatically resets after drying—no manual intervention required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with most standard automatic irrigation controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere and how do I install the Hunter MiniClik?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMount the MiniClik in an open area away from roof overhangs and sprinkler spray to accurately capture rainfall. Wiring connects between the controller and zone valve start wires; installation typically involves mounting the sensor, running the wire, and hooking it to the controller per manual. The compact design fits on fences, posts, or dedicated sensor mounts for flexible placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMount in a clear, rain-exposed location for accurate readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple two-wire connection to most irrigation controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall footprint allows mounting on fences, posts, or sensor brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat maintenance does the MiniClik require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is minimal: inspect periodically for debris or obstructions and ensure the sensor is positioned to collect rain. If debris accumulates it can be cleaned with water and a soft cloth; there are no batteries to replace. Proper seasonal checks help ensure reliable performance year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOccasional visual inspection and cleaning keeps sensor accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo batteries—reliant on electrical connection to the controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable housing resists weather for long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? The Hunter MiniClik rain sensor is ideal for homeowners, landscapers, and property managers who use automatic irrigation systems and want a low-cost, low-effort way to prevent unnecessary watering during rain. It fits those seeking water savings and plant protection without complex programming or frequent maintenance. If you run scheduled watering and want a hands-off rain shutoff that integrates with standard controllers, the MiniClik is a practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will the MiniClik work with my irrigation controller?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes—MiniClik uses a simple two-wire connection and is compatible with most automatic irrigation controllers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do I need to replace batteries or calibrate the sensor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No—MiniClik has no batteries and requires only occasional cleaning and positional checks, no calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Hunter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56829246996820,"sku":"B00FYR4EQA","price":61.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/hunter-miniclik-front-mount.jpg?v=1786997232","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/hunter-miniclik-rain-sensor-for-sprinkler-systems-compact-automatic-rain-shutoff-no-batteries","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
