Yes, Florida Statute 373.62 mandates rain sensors on all automatic irrigation systems installed after May 1991. This isn’t a suggestion – it’s state law designed to prevent water waste.

Rain sensors stop your system during and after rainfall, saving water and money on your utility bill. They must include a 48-hour delay feature, keeping your system off for at least two days after detecting rain. Proper installation is critical – sensors must detect actual rainfall, not sprinkler spray.
