Irrigation system with rain sensors
Does anyone have them? Can anyone recommend a good company to install them? We have eight irrigation sections in our development and need them badly.

I have one. I thought it was city or county code to have one.
Ours is through H20 Management, Inc in Middleburg:

We found ours lying on the ground last weekend. 
We turned our sprinklers off during all the rain. But it would be nice to have a working sensor. |

I don't know, but the sprinklers at my condo are always running in the rain..... and the sprinkler water smells like sewage. |

my sensor doesn't work either
when I had my well guy out last week to fix my mower vs well pump issue he said the builder never had it hooked up to the timer
hiffy (lol I love that nickmane) I will call you next week with my well/irrigation guys info

the reason the water "smells" is because most apts use irrigation wells and you are smelling the iron in the water. This will give off a sulfur smell.
I finally turned my irrigation system back on this morning after all of the rain

DFS Irrigation (904-221-4496) installed my system. Steve came out afterwards and for $125 re-routed two sprinklers after I extended the lanai. The water sensor works but I kinda like to control my irrigation manually.

I don't have one, but a lot of my neighbors had them put in by Gator Irrigation and they've been happy with them. They're licensed to install with the city:

It's not code to have one, but if you choose to install one, it has to be installed to code by a licensed professional.
You can't hire just anyone to install an irrigation system, they have to be legit installers that are licensed by the city.......this is for Duval county/JEA anyway, I don't know if it's the same in Clay.
As for do-it-yourselfers, I'm not sure how you go about that with the city. They might allow you to pull your own permit and install to code, but I don't know anyone who's gone this route.
If it's discovered that you installed one, or had one installed illegally, you can be fined (in Duval at least). |
