and was told they have had NO complaints or returns on these sensors...

Most often used line in the irrigation industry after "The check's in the mail"

I would like a nickel for every time I have been told that I was the only one that had ever had a problem with whatever product was not working

We have been using Irritrol wireless since the Rain Bird ones went south, maybe 3-4 years and have not had any issue with reliability or battery life.

I personally did not like the Hunter wireless so I have never used one.

Just go's to show what you will find out after a few years in this business - All the manufacturers produce junk at some time - On a product you have not had prior problems with it's usually due to a supplier change on a component and the bad component does not show up until we contractors find it. Then they tell us "This is the first time I have heard of that problem"

Push for some warranty credit for your time on those rain sensors - If they value your business they will give you something, maybe a free Hunter wireless sensor
