WFS Support

The Hunter WFS allows flow-capable controllers, such as the Hunter ACC and I-Core, to monitor actual flow in irrigation systems wirelessly.

With proper setup at the controller, this allows the controller to record and report actual flow in liters or gallons. Flow-learning controllers can also use WFS to learn typical flow for each zone of irrigation, and monitor during watering for high and low flow conditions.

WFS equips controllers to respond on their own to incorrect system performance, preventing damage to landscape and wasted water resources. 

  • Components
    This section will give you a brief overview of some of the components of the WFS.SensorImpeller: Rotates when flow is occurringO-rings: Provides sealing of sensor in sensor
  • System Overview and Operation
    The WFS is typically installed near the point of connection, in an appropriately-sized FCT tee. The WFS transmitter can connect to a host controller up to 500 ft/150 m
  • Operating Performance
    When flow is occurring the sensor/transmitter will transmit sensor information at a maximum rate (depending on flow) of once every 5 seconds. The receiver LED will flash green at
  • System Considerations
    Working with WFS Hunter flow-capable controllers are designed to measure and record actual flow, shut off irrigation when a high flow condition occurs, and identify which
  • Winterization
    Flow sensors can potentially be damaged by winterization blow-out techniques, and should be removed prior to injecting compressed air into the pipes. WFS sensors are installed
  • Specifications
    Operating Specifications Temperature Pressures Humidity 0 to 140ºF/60ºC up to 200 psi/13.7 bar up to 100%
