SPRINKLER TALK FORUM - You Got Questions, We've Got Answers

The Rainbird ESP or the Hunter Pro-C - but I prefer the Rainbird. Ease of explaining to homeowner for one thing. Of course the Rainbird RC controllers would definately be used for older homeowners. Yes they are expensive but last a long time and there are parts to repair them as opposed to burnt circuit boards and the garbage can.

I was surprised when I found out rainbird still makes that rotary timer... but more frazzled when I saw how expensive it is

For an 80-year-old lady, I might put in a mechanical controller. []

for controllers I'd go with the Hunter or Rainbird for sure...

The Rainbird ESP is probably simpler to operate but I install the Hunter pro-c... it has a couple extras that you can use like a calendar for even/odd watering... it's still real easy to get the hang of though.. but if I had to explain one to an 80 year old lady I'd use the ESP

for the valves...
I install the irritrol more than the rainbird because of the jar top... easier to service down the road... but if I were a homeowner and were betting on something to last... I'd take the Rainbird valves

YEP...... that's for sure....... this "newbie" is readin' these "old posts" and trying to decide which new 6-zone CONTROLLER ??

Hunter PRO-C ??
Irritrol RAIN DIAL 6 ??
RAINBIRD ESP ??

....... THEN six new VALVES......
Irritrol 2400T ??
Rainbird 100-DVF ??

Decisions, decisions, decisions....

Definatley the Pro-C...while the post is old, new comers still read the old posts for info!

Keep an eye on the dates that these topics are posted. This thread originated last year, and commenting on it almost a year later is not necessary. Thanks for your cooperation.
