You know......at one time a few years ago I was trying to offer some advice to someone looking for work. I told her she could offer a service where she serviced rain sensors only and stay busy all the time.

Of course we don't have or need freeze sensors. But our rainfall is so inconsistent having an operational rain sensor is very helpful!

They are required for all new systems but not (legally retroactive) required on older ones.

Servicing one is not hard work. You could easily put together a business model where you offer an annual check and service. Options could be once a year --- or more often.

We do have plenty of irrigation contractors but I bet the subject of rain sensors hardly ever comes up unless a problem arises. This would be a nice pro-active service for property owners.

Yea, it is for the irrigation system all done 26 years ago with the Rainbird Professional line. I went to the garage this morning at it was only 35 degrees outside and the sensor showed active and working. The old outside sensor just stopped talking to the the inside unit. I replaced the battery and no joy. The biggest pain is after a few years the little wafers that absorb the rain to tell it to not water because of rain just stop absorbing water properly. I have replaced just the wafers, the ones I can find are poor quality and don't last long.
