Featuring a waterproof case and dual-sealed battery chamber, it excels in extreme weather and wet conditions, outlasting competitors by 70%.

## Description

The ESP-9V’s waterproof case and dual-sealed battery chamber ensure long life even when installed in a wet, muddy valve box. In harsh environment testing The esp-9v outlasted the competition by 70%. after being submerged in water at alternating extreme hot and cold temperatures The esp-9v was still going strong after the competition failed in less than two days.

Review: No AC power, no problme - It's been a few years since I had to replace the solenoid but this unit has performed great. Easy to program and easy to install. Unfortunately these have become very pricey over the past years but are a must if you don't have AC power. I particularly like that it works on one or two 9-volt batteries, extending the time between changes. Large readout is easy to read. While it lacks bluetoth or wifi connectivity, it is still a solid unit.
Review: Wholesale Sprinkler Parts was great!! - Wholesale Sprinkler Parts was great, it arrived early and price was very good. They even had a slip in box with employee to call or email if you have any problems. This unit works SO MUCH EASIER than the HUNTER brand controller stuck in bottom of a valve box so you have to get on the ground and requires you to get out the Hunter manual to remind yourself how to change a program. The Rainbird is very easy and intuitive to program, and I was able to mount on side of house using standard speaker wire extension instead of having to retrieve it from a valve box each time. I needed it to control a 9th zone with a latch solenoid valve quite a distance from Wi-fi Main Controller. I did not need the WiFi 9 V controller for this 1 zone. 9 V batteries should give approx. 2 yr. life. Works like a charm.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent battery powered valve with right options added
*by H***N on May 10, 2025*

Purchased two of these 1” valves along with rainbirds K80920 battery version latching solenoids to use where no electricity or control wires could be run. The replacement solenoids screw right on. So far very impressed with operation. I prefer irritrol valves generally because they’re easy to rebuild but these are great and rebuild kits easy to find. The controllers I purchased are rainbird ESP9V1’s. No leaks or problems. I like how the included controller mount allows you to just snap the controller on top of the valve/solenoid yet easily removed if needed.
