Think of it more of a program start time. The zones don’t get their own start time. For a program you set which days to water, a start time (which tells the program when to start watering), then you assign which zones should be on that program. The zones run in sequence beginning at the start time.

@@matthewkrom5898 So I have an 8Oclock start time for ZOne 1, and OFF for 2, 3 and 4. I have run times of 20 mins for each zone. Will that cycle through the 4 zones one time and then stop?

@@jdevine42 Yes, as long as the start time and station run times are set to the same Program (there are 3 available programs A,B,C)

How do you make it go off twice a day, once in morning and once in the evening?

@@matthewkrom5898 Thanks much, its working correctly now

Correct and KRain. They are both knock offs of the Hunter PGP. You can reverse the instructions and they work for RainBird 5000 series rotors too. Everything with the RainBirds is opposite.

correct

Unfortunately we are not able to do that here in Connecticut. Even the lines in the ground have been known to freeze and crack so everything gets winterized with an air compressor to blow all the water out of the system.

@@matthewkrom5898 so you gotta do that on a nightly basis?

@@misterd717 no we blow the systems out in October/November for the winter and reactivate them in April/May

@@matthewkrom5898 oh ha dumb question, its for irrigation.

The second number (to the right) is “Days Left”. As in how many days are left until it waters next. If you have a 4am start time and it’s 3pm showing 0 days left it will water at 4am the next morning. If it shows 1 then it will water again at 4am on the second day.

The interval setting within the water day portion of your program determines a number of days between watering days. So an interval of 3 means the system will water every third day, an interval of 2 means the system will water every second day or every other day as opposed to watering on specific days of the week or odd or even numbered dates on the calendar (even being the 2nd, 4th, 6th ..... day of the month). The other number on the screen labelled "Days Left" indicates how many days are left before the system waters again.

@@matthewkrom5898 Thank you but I need more clarity. Do I have to set interval on something? I have it on 1 right now. I also have it set to run on Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays.

@@terrialexander1534 There are three ways to set your watering day schedule and you can only choose one. You either set days of the week such as Sunday, Tuesday and Friday OR select an interval such as every 2 or 3 days OR odd or even calendar dates. If you are selecting interval or odd/even all the days of the week have to allow watering, which means none of them can show the little rain drop with the circle and slash through it above the day of the week. This is because the day of the week in which the system is set to water will change from week to week on either interval or odd/even. If you want to set particular days of the week such as you listed you can leave the interval set @ 1. You then need to make sure all the days of the week below the interval 1 number on that same screen do NOT have the rain drop with circle and slash. Then continue to press the right arrow key until you get to the so called "day of the week" screen in which the word interval and the number above it disappear. The days of the week at the bottom need to show a rain drop on the days you want watering and will either be blank or have the rain drop with circle and slash (depending on the year of your controller) indicating non-watering days. You press the + key to turn days on and the - key to turn days off. You can also call our office 860-426-3377 and get a call back when you are standing in front of your timer and we'll walk you through it.

Not really, the tend to slow with age due to debris clogging the filter in the bottom. The water pressure goes up the head and spins a turbine which in turn operates the gear drive and makes it turn. If the filter is clogged enough it can slow the rotation. It can also be a combination of flow restrictions such as how the pipe was run, what fittings where used and at what angle they are to one another and the pipe etc. If it still rotates at a consistent speed and isn't stopping and starting then the gear drive is good. If it is the gear drive is damaged and the head will soon stop rotating altogether.

@@matthewkrom5898 Very helpful reply, thank you!

Hello - a No SS message means there is an issue with your Solar Sync weather sensor. It’s either disconnected or there is an issue/fault with the wiring.

It can be used as a regular faucet as well.

Depends on how it was installed. Most are just threaded with Teflon tape or plumbers putty so you can typically unscrew them with a wrench. Some are soldered in place and I’d recommend a plumber for that.

@@matthewkrom5898 That's what I figured thank you sir.

Yes

There is a "days left" setting/number next to the interval days number on that same screen. That is where you can set the number of days left until the next watering day.

@@matthewkrom5898 unfortunately mine doesn’t have a days left, it’s the x-core model, any way thank you very much for your response, I truly appreciate it.
