I replaced the washers inside of the sensor that you can get from Amazon. But it would probably be easier for you to buy the sensor from lowes or home depot. They are not expensive.

Clean the sensor once per year
My sprinkler tech says the sensor needs periodic maintenance. Use a spray of 50% bleach. Leave on for a minute, then rinse. I haven’t actually tried it because he told me about it in January.

This is definitely a do it yourself job if you are so inclined.
1) I understand that Hunter guarantees that part for five years. You may still be under warranty with Hunter. It's two wires cut and reconnect to new part. 2) Replace with same as what you have which would include the "Solar Sync" and rain sensor functions. Part is quite a bit more expensive than just the mini click sensor. 3) I chose to replace just the rain sensor. It is called a "mini-click rain sensor". It is $24 at Amazon. I lost the Solar Sync function of course, but it works great. Simple install a few steps up a ladder. Guaranteed five years. |

You most likely need a new sensor. They only last a few years.

To bad Astro turf is banned. Just think how much we would save not watering,worrying about sprinklers and lawn care? Maybe apartment living not so bad as we mature into the sunset. Careful on the ladder when you replace the wafer thingy.

I'm curious as to why this product is only sold on eBay? You cannot buy it on Amazon or even directly from Hunter. Very strange.

Do you also use a rain sensor with the WiFi controller?

Do you have a link to the washers on Amazon? I have not been able to find them on Amazon.

You can purchase the wafer thing (which lasts 2 years, max) at Ace Hardware in Southern Trace shopping center. This particular Ace carries a lot of the Villages’ Homes maintenance parts, along with invaluable information and advice.

You can. I've found it completely unnecessary.
