A rain sensor
A rain sensor
is not optional.
Florida law requires a working rain sensor on every automatic system. Most of the ones we find have failed years ago, which is why sprinklers run cheerfully through a downpour all over the state.

Four services, set to the rules in force
Rain sensor on every system as Florida law requires, and schedules set to your district's restrictions.
Repairs & leak detection
Finding and fixing leaks, broken heads, stuck valves and the wet patch nobody can explain.

Measuring what each zone actually applies, and fixing the ones watering the pavement.

Controller programming and the rain sensor or soil moisture device Florida law requires.
See the programDesign & installation
New systems designed so lawn, beds and shade are on separate zones with the right heads.

How it works
How we work
Run every zone and watch it, measure rather than guess, fit the required sensor, and set schedules to the real rules.
Measured, not assumed
Catch cups and pressure, not experience alone.
Legal and protected
Rain sensor fitted, backflow in place.
Programmed to your district
And you are shown how to change it.

How we work
A Florida contractor, and the rules keep changing
Hakachanus LLC is a limited liability company registered in the State of Florida, document number L24000114550, filed in 2024, holding local contractor registration [LOCAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION NUMBER] where required and carrying general liability insurance.
Three things that matter here. Florida law requires a working rain sensor or soil moisture device on every automatic system, and most of the ones we test have failed. Watering days are set by your water management district and often further restricted locally, they change during drought, and staying compliant is the owner's ongoing responsibility — we programme to what applies now and show you how to adjust. And any connection to drinking water needs backflow protection, with annual testing where required.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Why is my system running in the rain?
Almost always a failed rain sensor. Florida law requires a working one, they fail quietly after a few years, and nobody notices because the system carries on as normal.
Which days can I water?
That depends on your water management district and often on your county or city too, and it changes in drought. We programme to what is in force now and show you how to change it when it tightens.
Will this reduce my water bill?
An audit usually does, often substantially, because most systems overwater one zone badly. We will not promise a figure — too much depends on your soil, your planting and the weather.
My lawn died even though the system runs.
Irrigation is one factor. Fungus, chinch bugs, compaction, mowing height and soil all kill turf with perfect watering, so we will tell you honestly when the problem is not the sprinklers.
Do you need to dig?
For new lines and some repairs, yes — and we call in the 811 utility locate first, as Florida law requires. We do not break ground before it clears.
What is backflow and do I need it?
A device stopping irrigation water siphoning back into the drinking supply. Any connection to potable water needs one, and where annual testing is required that falls to the property owner.
