Are you sure that it's the solenoid problem?  Is it a different one of the same one?  I can't speak for what kind of solenoid you have, but we have not had any report of a controller breaking a solenoid.  All the controller does is feeds 24V AC to turn it on.

Yes it is..did the trouble shooting with Rainbird Customer Service. 4 of the 6 need replacing. I have had this system running problem free for 14 years and only started having problems when I installed BlueSpray.

What are your solenoids rating?  What about the newer solenoids?  Do they exhibit the same problem?

The newest one is working so far.
