Rain Bird Smart Controller Upgrade

Rain Bird is giving contractors the opportunity to upgrade their clients with ESP-Modular Controllers to weather-based smart control with the ESP-SMT Upgrade Kit.

The ESP-SMT Smart Control System uses weather-based technology along with factors such as soil type, slope, plant type and sun exposure to calculate a precise watering schedule for each zone within a residential or light commercial landscape.

According to Adolfo Meza, Rain Bird's product manager for contractor controllers, the ESP-SMT Upgrade Kit makes it simple for contractors to offer their ESP-Modular customers all of the advantages that come with smart control. ''The ESP-Modular Controller and the ESP-SMT Smart Control System have identical dimensions and wiring,'' Meza says. ''Contractors simply need to replace the ESP-Modular's front panel with the ESP-SMT panel from the Upgrade Kit, make the necessary connections and then enter data using the on-screen set-up wizard and install on-site weather sensor.''

Landscape contractors can download a free Homeowner Marketing Kit complete with customizable sell sheet, postcard and bill stuffer to use in their sales efforts. Plus, for a limited time, contractors who are members of Rain Bird's Rewards Program can also earn Double Rewards Points on every ESP-SMT Upgrade Kit that they purchase between now and January 15, 2012.
