Rain Bird is taking the convenience of the modular controller a step further with the ESP-LX Modular.

Here’s a scenario. The season is changing from Spring to Summer. The weather is getting warmer and that means adjusting your controller to increase watering levels. With competing modular controllers you would have to make adjustments manually.

Not with Rain Bird’s ESP-LX Modular. One of our Smart Features is Automatic Seasonal Adjust, which lets you program water adjustments by month for the entire year, and it makes the changes automatically. The result? A healthier yard that looks great all year long while saving you water.

The ESP-LX Modular also features Smart Cartridges which let you add weather-smart capabilities for the ultimate in water savings. The most accurate weather-smart device of its kind is now available as an add-on cartridge for the ESP-LX Modular. Using real-time weather data from local precision weather stations, the ET Manager Cartridge adjusts watering schedules to reduce water usage by 30-50%. It’s controlled entirely within the ESP-LX interface so there’s no need to program two separate devices.

Configurable Station Count

The ESP-LX Modular is configurable up to 32 stations. It has four bays that are capable of using either 4-station or 8-station modules.

Extra Simple Programming (ESP)

Make programming a snap, with a large easy-to-read display plus quick-programming features such as Rain Bird’s exclusive Program Review that shows more station settings at once so you can confirm your program faster.

Automatic Seasonal Adjust
