Rain Bird service bulletin for ESP-M controllers

If you have a Rain Bird ESP Modular sprinkler controller and have been having any problems with it, give us a call. We installed more than a dozen of these over the last couple of years, for their easy programming and manual operation and large, easy-to-read displays.

Rain Bird discovered a problem, supposedly to do with some solder connections, in models manufactured before May 2007. Thy sent out a serive bulletin about it last month, but some distributors still haven't gotten the word.

One of the symptoms is a display window that reads "MV_Err" (for Master Valve Error, whether or not your system uses a master valve).

If that's the case with your controller, the fix is simple, so give please give us a call.

If we installed the original controller for you, then we'll replace the defective parts under warranty at no charge. If you or someone else installed the original we can still replace it, with no charge for parts but a nominal labor fee of $65.00.
