Rain Bird Ultrasonic Flow Sensors
LWS are excited to introduce a powerful new addition to Rain Bird’s smart irrigation technology lineup — the Ultrasonic Series Flow Sensors. These are available in 1”, 1.5” and 2” BSP versions.
Designed with precision, durability, and low-maintenance performance in mind, these innovative sensors bring a new level of accuracy and reliability to flow monitoring.
Why Ultrasonic?
- No moving parts – eliminating wear and tear, drastically reducing maintenance.
- Highly accurate measurement – even at very low or high flow rates.
- Flexible installation – works in both horizontal and vertical pipe runs.
- Built for harsh environments – IP68 rated, submersible, and UV resistant.
The Ultrasonic Flow Sensor uses sound waves transmitted through the moving water in your irrigation pipe to determine flow rate. By measuring the difference in the time it takes each wave to travel between the sensors, the system calculates the velocity of the water, and from that, the flow rate.
The sensor is compatible with Rain Bird’s commercial controllers and Central Control systems. It can also be used in other controllers that utlise a K-Factor and Offset configuration. These sensors are ideal for commercial, municipal, and sports turf applications where accurate water use monitoring is essential.
