I don't want to bet, but I think that ACE Hardware only sells the entire rain sensor unit which would not include the "solar sync" part. It would require you to cut the wires and replace the entire outside unit with a device that would only detect the rain, and you would lose the solar sync function in your Hunter controller. And, you would need to splice and reconnect the wires together. Central Pump and Supply sells a replacement part for just the Hunter rain sensor device. So, you would not need to cut and splice the wires, and you would retain the solar sync function. Some people have replaced the outside unit with just a rain sensor, but usually they install a wireless rain sensor instead of a wired device like the one sold at ACE.
