- Welcome back everyone to The Sprinkler Channel! Subscribe to easily find all our tutorials on sprinklers. Today we are talking about the awesome seasonal adjust feature found on basically every sprinkler system controller, clock, or timer that has been installed in the last 10+ years (a guess, maybe it's 20+). Watch this video and get pumped to find out that you can change one setting and all your station run times will be changed instantaneously! Like magic but not, well, unless you don't understand how it works then I guess it is magic then. At any rate, you can be that magician simply by watching this video. Why not just watch it all the way through so you aren't back here watching it again later on because you skipped over a detail. Just throwing that option out there. The seasonal adjust feature is found on most brands whether it be Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro, Orbit, or any other control whether it be a smart controller or a regular sprinkler controller like this Hunter Pro-C one I am using for this video. If you have read this far in the description, high-five. ✋. Ok that is enough jibber jabber, let's get to watching and doing. Until next time, chau!

If I were younger I might would like my own sprinkler company. You have taught me immeasurable amount of actions and patience. But I have a unique question I would like answered. Thanks again!!
That was a great tip! Thank you very much! Look forward to watching all of your videos. Keep up the good work.
Great info
It would be sweet to see a simple set up of a sprinkler system for one zone. Just the breakdown of best practices and things to do and not to do. Just an idea :) Great videos!
Thanks Jaron! Thank you for the idea, It helps a lot to know what people would like to see. Hoping to have this one published before too long.
@@thesprinklerchannel thanks for listening to your viewers. You got a long time subscriber from me.
Would you please show how to raise sunken sprinkle heads in the next video! Thanks!
Thank you for the video request. I will put that one on the list.
I learned something valuable. thank you. also "wait there's more" was hilarious
First congratulations for the videos. If you can help me, my system has 4 stations (zones with some sprinklers) and suddenly station 1 started running together with station 3 and vice versa, and also with less pressure than usual. Stations 2 and 4 runs normal. I already looked at the schedule and there is no schedule or program that runs simultaneously, in fact I only have a single schedule or program. Thanks.
If two zones are running at same time low pressure would be contributed to that. As to why they all of sudden are running at same time, you may want to double check that you have exactly one start time and all the other ones for that program and all the others are indeed off. If that is right, I would check wire connections and then lastly the controller may be going out and needing replaced. Hope this helps!
I have a question for your channel I live in Michigan it's turning spring here how do I know when it's time to turn in my irrigation daytime temps anywhere from 45 to 70 night temps range from 35 to 50 thanks for your time
Great question. I would ensure no chance of freezing temps at night. Typically spring time has enough precipitation where one can delay turning on sprinklers too until you’re in the clear. Hope this helps.
My sprinkler looks like this. I'm wondering if I can swap out the model to one that can be controlled via a web app.
Is that something the typical home owners can do?
Definitely. Check out our other video on our channel.

Only Hunter has that.
Most controllers nowadays will have a seasonal adjust feature.
Do you have an email address where we can show you our irrigation nightmares?
No email at the moment. If you want to leave a question here, we can try and answer it. Thanks
So, to clarify, the seasonal adjustment setting is: 1) a MANUAL adjustment only - ie. not automatic - when the homeowner sees it necessary to alter their previously input timer settings and that, 2) the manual seasonally adjusted setting (ie. percentage change that was manually done via the seasonal adjustment setting) will continue to OVERRIDE original settings until such time as homeowner returns original setting back to 100% and 3) is not driven by or based on any calendar-based inputs that may have been required when original settings were input?
Great questions! Yes, the seasonal adjust is a setting that has to be done manually unless your clock is capable of and a solar sync sensor (for Hunter controllers) is added. If a solar sync sensor is added then the changes would be done automatically without needing to do what’s shown in this video. Any changes as shown in this video will continue to have their affect on the station run times until further changes are made. Thanks for asking these questions!
