Rain Can
Active Rainfall Monitoring & Response System
Rain Bird® Rain Can with patented Rain Watch™ technology maximizes water efficiency, while minimizing system wear and tear, through intelligent, real-time decision-making based accurate rainfall measurement.
Features
The industry’s first active rainfall monitoring and response system.
The only system designed to automatically react to rainfall and adjust sprinkler application rates to take full advantage of natural rain, thereby eliminating over-watering.
Saves water and electricity, while keeping the course drier and more playable, by pausing, adjusting or canceling irrigation in the event of rainfall.
Results in reduced wear and tear on irrigation system components.
An integral part of Rain Bird Central Control Software versions 4.0 and higher.
