Higher water flow with Rachio

post by Smangrul on Dec 31, 2024

I eeplaced my hunter system with Rachio, a month agao. I also have flume water flow detection system. I am notcining that with Rachio, flume is showing higher wayer flow as compared to hunter, has any one else noticed the same? Any tips to figure out what could be going on?

Higher flow while running, or more water being used?

If it is higher flow WHILE running, no, that wouldn’t make any sense at all unless you coincidentally have a leak that has developed. Rachio doesn’t do anything but open and close the valves and can’t control the flow rate.

If it is the later, that is possible depending on what your watering setting are compared to your Hunter system…
