ESP-Si Series
4, 6, 8 Stations

Primary Application

Incorporating all the proven features of the ESP Series, the ESP-Si family of hybrid controllers is a prime example of making a good thing better. With their slim line cabinets, ESP-Si controllers are as attractive to look at as they are simple to use.

The ESP-Si Series from Rain Bird. Simplicity at its finest.
