    It’s kind a work but not 100%. The original one are 6 disk slightly more thicker and it worked perfect. I have replaced them with 7 discs because this one are little thinner. It doesn’t matter how much rain I get on the display never goes all the way up with one lane. I tried to use 8 discs and now doesn’t matter how much sun I get it never goes all the way down. Always shows 3mm of rain or 1 lane

    So glad you sell these replacement washers - less expensive than replacing the whole unit but I may have to even do that soon because my unit came with the house built in 2002 so it's the old style with the wire antennae. QUESTION: when I took this old sensor apart there were 7 discs not 8. Is that how many the old units had? If I put on 8 it immediately turns off the receiver even at 1/4 inch? Any ideas?

    • @philinapex
      @philinapex Рік тому

      If it is a Hunter sensor, most likely there was 8 discs. It could be possible that two of the discs have fused together over the years so it appears like you only have 7. Regardless, if you are having issues with it turning off way too quick, you can always try removing one of the discs. or if you have a sensor with an adjustable cap, you can just go up to the next higher setting.

    Phil can you confirm that the test button ceases to operate if the cork discs are wet due to the expansion of the cork? I had to return a WRF-CLIK b/c of this reason. The replacement once it got wet, did the same thing. No where in the manual, nor Hunter Industries, told me this. They said the button should work even when wet. So far this has not been my experience. Can you confirm?

    The plastic rain sensor units tend to get brittle exposed to sunlight. In addition, the switch at the base of the unit which the expanded discs press on tend to wear out. I replaced the entire unit of my orbitz for 12.99. Spending a few more bucks replacing the unit may be the better way to go.

    I ordered your disks, without a washer, before I opened my sensor (it was raining). After I opened my sensor my disks were not too bad, but I could not find a brass washer. My sensor is about 3 years old. Did Hunter make some sensors without a washer?

    • @peterprince4452
      @peterprince4452 3 роки тому

      I received my replacement discs in the mail in just a few days and took some time to understand how the rain sensor works. I took the parts out of my sensor, including the discs and the center spring . I washed the chamber out thoroughly. It was full of tiny critters and debris. You may need a tweezer to replace the spring back in the center. I placed the new hydroscopic discs on the spindle, keeping them dry. If they get wet, you will probably need to let them dry out before they will assemble properly. The way the sensor works is: when the discs get wet,, they expand, pushing the assembly down, operating a switch in the bottom of the sensor, transmitting a signal to my remote receiver next to my Hunter Irrigation controller, turning it off. My Rain-Clik works GREAT again. BTW, my sensor did not have a brass washer. Thanks!

    • @southeastirrigationsupply7943
      @southeastirrigationsupply7943 3 роки тому

      All Hunter Sensors should have the brass disc... if you did not have one in your sensor, it must have been inadvertently left out during manufacturing. You can easily buy one at the hardware store if you want, however, it probably will work fine without on as all the rain bird, toro, and irritrol sensors do not have them and they use the same discs.

      @southeastirrigationsupply7943 4 роки тому

      Could be either... IF the discs are permanently swollen, they could be holding the switch down causing it to stay off... Or it could be a battery or wireless transmission issue also. If you take the cap (with the discs) off and it goes to green, it is the discs.
