Shutting down an irrigation system when excess flow occurs provides the benefits of reduced liability, water conservation,
erosion prevention and overall reduction in repair costs. Typical causes for over-flow conditions can stem from problems
due to ruptures in the main or lateral lines, when heads are broken or removed from the system, or when valves do not
shut off automatically.
The Hunter Flow-Clik flow sensor monitors flow to an entire irrigation system or through an individual valve. In the case of
an overflow condition, the Flow-Clik will automatically shut down the irrigation system at the controller. The Flow-Clik acts
as a switch to break the electrical circuit to the solenoid valves as soon as it registers a flow exceeding a calibrated set
limit. This allows the timer to advance as scheduled, but keeps the valve(s) with a āhigh flowā condition from activating.
As a result, of installing the flow sensor in a system, the user gains the benefit of substantially reducing the amount of
water loss during an occurrence of an over-flow condition.
