Canceling Extra Start Times on Hunter Controller

An irrigation system that is repeating the cycle and continuously watering most likely has too many start times programmed into the controller. This video will explain what a start time is and how you can cancel those extra start times that you may not need.

[@richardsaporito-kn3ho]

Not sure if she still works for Hunter but I would clone this lady. She has the best explanation of how to change/eliminate water times. Outstanding job!

[@xCarxMellax]

After 5 years I finally just found this information out . Thank you !!!

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chuckholly]

WOW so that's why it was running so many times and my grass was rotting.
Thank you.

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it helped

[@georgerancourt4201]

Still helping your customers all these years later! Thanks!

[@Hunter_Industries]

Happy to help!

[@pimpownzu]

very helpful. I have the issue now, and can't wait to get home and fix it.
Also one more thing she didn't cover in the video.
There are 3 sets of "start time" programs that you can setup.
They are categorized into Program A, B & C.
In the video she only went over the "A" start-time programming. You should also check Program B & C to ensure that you haven't set a start time there as well. You can get there by pressing the oval "PRG" button on the control, and follow the the guide in this video.

[@hankbauer9306]

I had the exact same start times as the set up in the video, lifesaver! So glad I found this video.

[@Hunter_Industries]

Fantastic!

[@Rebelnish]

Thank you, I couldn't figure out how to stop my sprinklers going off twice a day, now I easily made the adjustment

[@Hunter_Industries]

You're welcome! Glad it helped.

[@ShnelGer]

Wow thank you, no one has explained this, has been a constant problem, can’t thank you enough

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it helped

[@t3471]

Even after 12 years, your video just resolved my issue. Thank you so much & you just earn my 👍! 👏👏👏🙏

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it helped

[@andrewjohnson5921]

Wow, I feel so stupid. I just submitted a claim with my homebuilder’s warranty because I didn’t watch this video first. I thought something was wrong with my sprinkler system because it kept coming on all day haha. Thanks for the video.

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it helped

[@elizabethg0809]

Wow. I’ve been looking for a video like this for so long!!! Thank you for cutting my water bill in half!

[@Hunter_Industries]

Too many start times is a quick way to waste water and have unhealthy plants.

[@milagrosperez6202]

Thx. I was crazy 😜 with the multiple runs. I just fixed it 🙏

[@mesoyandrada5823]

Thank you so much, this is the only video I've watched that showed me where the OFF selection can be found! I'm grateful!👍

[@vickiekstruck]

Very helpful. Answered my question in a timely fashion. I didn’t have to listen to a whole you tube program to get to the answer

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it helped

[@shoyrushoyru]

Clear and concise. Wonderful explanation and demonstration. Great video.

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it was helpful!

[@saallday294]

I am back again! It appears that my system likes to reset when the power blips, so again very helpful.

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it helped

[@williamlee1429]

We just bought a new house and apparently somebody programmed A and B but I didn’t know how to shut off the B circuit until you showed me thank you very much for the video you are a lifesaver.

[@AubrieSloan]

YOU HAVE JUST SAVED ME GALLONS!!!!

[@duidefenseadvocates6125]

You saved me from buying a new unit to replace what I was sure was a broken device. Thank you for the video and also...wow.

[@Hunter_Industries]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@tuanphamusmc]

Thank you. The person who had installed my new home's sprinkler system did just that. Thanks to your video I got on the controller and eliminated the number 2, 3, and 4 Run-time.

[@thefilmpoets]

Yea it’s counterintuitive. Thanks for the simple explanation.

[@Hunter_Industries]

You're welcome!

[@lono22]

Very clear explanation. I was having that problem, followed the steps and corrected it. Thanks for a very good video.

[@Hunter_Industries]

Thank you

[@markjackson2601]

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I was just about to go buy another controller as I was doing it exactly as you said, considering each of the cycle sessions as zone timers. THANKS AGAIN!

[@paigequeenb8257]

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it helped

[@faridgardashbayov]

This solved the problem I had as I also thought those were stations. Thank you

[@beckysimpson3364]

That got me confused once too, thinking they were valves 1,2,3,4 instead of 4 start times per day.

[@melissagrubbs3503]

Thank you-that problem was driving me crazy!

[@Hunter_Industries]

You're welcome!

[@djdonnag]

Her explanation helped me big time! Much more helpful than the manual.

[@Hunter_Industries]

Glad it helped

[@TheDODOFRO]

Thank you!!! I had hit reset several times, thought I had a faulty box. I thought I was telling it to start “line 1 at 7:30, line 2 at 8:00 etc… “ was getting annoyed when I’d see it still running well into 10:00 onward..

[@paxetbonum4934]

These visual helps are great. Thanks so much.

[@lisamoore4905]

Thank you so much! It was shutting off my well pump because the sprinklers for several stations were coming on at the same time.

I was about to throw away the system and buy a new one . Thank you so much for this video

[@proddarunner]

This was a good video for the canceling of the extra run times. You might have explained a little bit more of the "Program A" meaning because whoever set this up certainly didn't understand that concept. Just a thought.

[@judygalbraith1]

Thank you! This is exactly the problem I was having and your solution worked!
