I did not see a rain sensor, which would, if attached, the system, would not be running certainly when it’s raining but even if it has just rained overnight or the previous day. As the rainy season kicks in, we should receive rain five out of seven days and there may be no reason to keep the system on During that time frame. Most people turn them off. I just met Scott the previous owner. He stopped to find out what I was doing, which is always a good thing really.
