What is the ideal location for a Flow-Clik sensor in my
irrigation system?
If your system is balanced (similar flow rates among all
zones), the best position for the Flow-Clik sensor would be
just downstream of the master valve in your system. Make
sure the sensor is at least 10 times the pipe diameter in
distance away from the outlet of the master valve.
Do I need a master valve to use the Flow-Clik?
The use of a master valve is preferred when installing a
Flow-Clik in your system. The Flow-Clik is designed to pre-
vent water loss due to catastrophic failure of your irrigation
system. If a master valve is used at the beginning of the
mainline, the Flow-Clik can provide maximum protection in
shutting off the system when mainline ruptures occur.
My controller is running two valves at one time. Is this a
problem?
No. The Flow-Clik is designed to be calibrated to your high-
est flow zone(s). If you are operating more than one valve
with your controller, both valves need to be operating at the
same time during Flow-Clik calibration and setup.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ...............................................................
Should I be concerned about winterization with the
Flow-Clik?
Typically, systems are winterized using compressed air to
“blow out” the water in a system. Depending upon the loca-
tion of the Flow-Clik sensor in the irrigation system, it may
sense a “high flow” condition due to air moving the sensor
at a very high rate. It is recommend that the Flow-Clik be
shut off before winterization by using the sensor bypass
switch at the controller to deactivate the sensor.
Can I use one Flow-Clik sensor with two irrigation con-
trollers on the same system?
No. The Flow-Clik is designed so that each sensor has an
Interface Box that attaches to each specific controllers.
Controllers cannot share the Interface Box.
Can I use multiple Flow-Clik sensors on the same
system?
Yes. Flow-Clik sensors can be installed on multiple lateral
lines within your irrigation system for a higher level of
overflow protection. However, each sensor would require
its own Interface Box at the controller and would need to be
wired in series with one another.
