Starting with their controllers, DripWorks offers 5 top options for multi-station AC controllers, all with Wi-Fi adaptability via the LNK Module.
The ESP-ME3 is a 4-station Indoor/Outdoor 120V AC controller, expandable up to 22 stations using 3-station or 6-station expansion modules. The controller offers an easy dial programming interface with a clear LCD screen.
Key features:
- Master valve/Pump start port
- Battery-programmable
- Seasonal Adjust
- Rain/Freeze Sensor Compatible
- Manual watering
- 4 programs with 6 start times per program for a total of 24 start times per station.
- Rain Delay
- Custom watering scheduling- ODD/EVEN days, cyclic, specific days of the week.
The ESP-TM2 comes in four options:
The ESP-TM2 is not an expandable controller, which is why it comes in a variety of set station options.
Key Features:
- Master valve/Pump start port
- Seasonal Adjust
- 3 Programs with 4 start times per program, total of 12 start times per station.
- Sensor port
- Manual watering
- Custom watering for ODD/EVEN days, specific days of the week, or cyclic.
To use the Wi-Fi options for the above controller, you will need to purchase a LNK module. The addition of the LNK module allows you to program, monitor, and make quick changes as needed through the Rain Bird app.
To go with your Rain Bird controller or any AC controller that requires 24-volt valves, we have Rain Bird Automated valves to control the water flow to your zones. The Rain Bird Globe valve comes in a 3/4" or 1" size option in a female pipe thread. These operate within a pressure range of 15-150 PSI and are designed for below-ground installation inside a valve box. For an above-ground option, we offer the Rain Bird Anti-Siphon valve. This valve also comes in a 3/4" of 1" female pipe thread option. The advantage of the anti-siphon valve is the built-in backflow protection. An Anti-siphon valve must be installed at a minimum of 6" above the highest point in your irrigation system.
Looking for a rain sensor to shut down your irrigation system during rain events and conserve even more water? Rain Bird has what you need! DripWorks carries two options for you to choose from: Rain Bird Wired Rain Sensor and the Rain Bird Wireless Rain Sensor.
Wired Sensor: Wireless Sensor:
For added piece of mind, Rain Bird has created a Flow Sensor, ideal for residential and smaller commercial applications. This flow sensor is wired to your controller and monitors the flow being used in each irrigation cycle. The sensor will tell the controller when there is either low or high flow being used, identifying a break in a line, and saving you money.
DripWorks also carries a wide selection of Rain Bird sprinkler nozzles and spray bodies.
**In the State of California, it is required by law that all spray bodies have built-in pressure regulation. **
For spray bodies, we offer the 1806PRS or the 1806SAMPRS.
The 1806PRS has a 6" pop up height, operates within a pressure range of 15-70 PSI, with built-in pressure regulation set to 30 PSI. The spray body comes with a side inlet option in 1/2" female pipe thread.
An added feature on the 1806SAMPS is the Seal-A-Matic check valve for preventing water waste. The check valve prevents low end drainage in elevation changes of up to 14'. The check valve feature also helps to reduce the risk of damage to your system from water hammer when your system is turned on.
DripWorks offers two types of spray nozzles from Rain Bird to complete our sprinkler system.
Spray Nozzles with a fan-type spray pattern are non-adjustable. The Rain Bird nozzles are available in 180 (half circle) and 360 (full circle) options, with three different diameter choices- 8', 10', and 15'.
Rain Bird also offers Rotary nozzles, which have fingers of rotating water to produce an even distribution of water. There are two options for the rotary nozzles- full circle (360 degree) or adjustable (45 to 270 degree). Both nozzles come with adjustable diameter coverage. The lower flow nozzle has an adjustable diameter of 8-14' and the higher flow nozzle has an adjustable diameter of 13-18'.
