    My multimeter is showing 30v for the 24v ac, is it too much? Thanks

    I’ve been looking for a video that explained these tests/systems for over 2 days now. This is the only video that talked about the transformer (wall plug)…And that’s exactly what’s wrong with my system. When it comes to testing these systems and parts, and the processes of doing so, this is w/o a doubt the BEST video I’ve found on this topic! Thank you! 🙌👏

    You can have 3 bar of pressure in 22mm pipe and 3 bar of pressure in 15mm pipe but I always think of flow as resistance. The smaller the pipe the more resistance and friction is caused so the movement of water is slower. However the larger the pipe the less resistance and less friction so water will flow alot quicker.

    What is wrong when the controller is turned on manually and system runs for 5-10 seconds and shuts down or may not operate at all,also have replaced water valve with new one, that is working fine,I have measured transformer voltage and it 26 volts, is there a bad register or component in the control.board, if so do you know which one ? Is there a detailed video on the repair of the controller ?? Thanks

    Very helpful, thank you. Just an update, just saw a RainBird PDF that says if a solenoid is between 20 and 60 ohms than it's good. I had a solenoid with 18 ohms and due to it the fuse was always blowing, this video helped me find that solenoid for replacement.

    My multimeter doesn't have a 200 ohm or 200 anything. It's Ohms, volts, etc. I am not an electrician so this doesn't help because he assumes we all have the same kind of voltmeter and/or have a background in electrical work.
