can the rain bird replace an orbit system

I just hooked up the wires from my old system to my new one and it worked just fine. My control valves are Orbit, but wiring works the same in every system I know of.

I am sorry I do not know. I use the ESP-ME Rain Bird Controller. Communication takes place between the WRS-RC and the ESP-ME units. Talk to Rain Bird....Jerry

Yes. The extra drag this thing causes on the little pigeon results in extra transit time.

Do not know, but I think your model has been discontinued. I suggest you contact Orbit by calling 1-800-488-6156 or by email (techsupport@orbitonline.com). they would be able to confirm if it is compatible with your system.

This was answered on September 7: "We are working to get the the RainMachine approved for both. No ETA yet. We will let you know. Thank you.Sep 7, 2013 by Dragos A."

I am not 100% sure, but I am going to say yes. The only difference between the two models is internal with the satellite radio component and the weather alert.

Willy's right. It's not the best unit out there. My biggest complaint with it is that you can't just "run" all the programs starting "now", you either let it run them when scheduled, or you have to manually start each section. Not good. My older rainbird was much better, but it was fried by lightning.

I had a bear get at two of my feeders last year and he broke the bases. On chance, I emailed More Birds and they sent me replacement parts! It would be worth an email. Jim

I really don't think so. The Envoy is bigger vehicle and the Equinox security shade would be too short.

Name could have changed over the years. Suggest you contact rainbird direct. They have always responded for me.

Yes. The size of the wire mesh around the feeder tube is far too small to allow grackles or anything larger than the smaller hedge birds; chickadee, wren, finch sized birds. I've had to replace the center tube as the plastic died from three years of UV exposure. Not hard to do and a $7 tube from Lowes was an almost perfect fit. I also created a coroplast cover to keep off the rain and discovered it gave some immumity to the smaller birds from a local Kestrel. Zero squirrel access.

Yes. Wing can be disassembled for vehicle transportation. Very simple to reattach.

Yes, but it is pretty heavy and even off the stand it is 34 inches tall so you would need a van and not just a car to transport. Suggest a smaller cage just for transport times where you can move the bird from one cage to the transport cage.

Yes it works great but can void the warranty. Rainsoft has their own version

The Rainbird system comes with a 25 pound regulator, so I assume not much over that. The way the systems are designed too much pressure would blow all the fittings off since they are designed without any clamps to hold them on. I really like this system! Hope this answer helps.

I think they have one that has a universal speed ring. the one i got was only for the alien bees
