Reveal the true picture of your outdoor water use and stop leaks in a minute or less. Cutting-edge Rachio Wireless Flow Meter technology monitors outdoor water-use, halts costly leaks and protects your landscape from damage.The Rachio Wireless Flow Meter is only compatible with our latest technology, the Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller.
Only cutting-edge Rachio Wireless Flow Meter technology monitors outdoor water-use, halts costly leaks and protects your landscape from damage.
Revolutionary Wireless Flow Meter technology pairs seamlessly with Rachio 3 and the Rachio App to uncover patterns or problems in the pipes below.
The Rachio Wireless Flow Meter detects leaks with highly-accurate Vortex technology and instantly alerts at the first sign of trouble. If a high-flow leak is identified, Rachio removes the affected zone from queue, continuing the rest of the watering schedule as usual.
In-app calibration measures each watering zone to establish a baseline flow rate, optimizing reporting accuracy and making it easy to identify leaks and anomalies.
Clogged sprinkler heads and invasive root growth can can constrict pipes and cause weak flow rates. Low-flow alerts uncover issues long before your grass begins to wilt.
Install the Wireless Flow Meter between your backflow preventer and valve box, then it will automatically pair with the Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller.
As you water each zone, the Wireless Flow Meter learns the baseline flow rate. If a leak is detected, Rachio will protect your landscape by sending an instant alert and shutting down only the affected zone.
State-of-the-art Vortex technology measures flow rates with accuracy - down to the gallon per zone. Designed with no moving parts, this streamlined technology withstands winterization and continuous use without maintenance or repair.
The Rachio Wireless Flow Meter is compatible with most irrigation systems; however, pipe size and material, installation location and more can affect installation requirements. Professional installation will get you up and running in no time!
