Thank you for this video. My valve was shut off (who know how that happened). I turned it on and Viola!! sprinklers work fine. Again, great video and thank you.
Thanks for the video sunwolf. Would the reset button on the orbit panel timer be something I can do?? My timer is on, but my sprinkler is not coming on. I went through the process, but my last option is to press the reset button on the panel
Thank you. Since my sprinkler system company came to turn on the system in June, it never come on. I suspected it was because we had lots of rain, and there’s a sensor, but now it’s dry and they want $150. to come and check it because they said it was working when they left. No, it wasn’t! Is there something in the basement that might be a water issue? They said they didn’t have to come in, but the last guy came in. I’ve only had this house for two summers, and I’m not familiar with this stuff.
Thanks, you just saved me $$. I did not realize that the battery would show the timer working. The plug looked OK. The timer plug was holding the button on the outlet so it did not look to be tripped. l Unplugged the timer pushed the now exposed trip button put it in manual and it worked. I lost some landscaping with our 120+ temps. before I noticed a problem But all is back up and running.
Question: I have the Rain Dial controller, but notice that if I switch to manually water, it will show M1 or M2 on the screen, but it doesn't turn the water on. Any suggestions on where to look? I just installed a new valve in # 2, but still no water coming out when I switch to manual water. It's like the box isn't sending the signal to the valves. The water comes out when I manually turn on the valve. Thank you.
So I have 11 zones in my system. My system runs off of a shallow well with a 2 Hp pump. System comes on fine with timer and works great until it reaches zone # 8. At that point pressure drops dramatically in zone #8 and only a small stream comes from one or two of that zones heads. I then go to my well pump and crack the threaded bleeder on top of the impeller housing. air bubbles will then come out and within a minute or two zone #8 will pressurize and come to life. The system will then finish off the remaining watering cycle without a hitch. Next day this same problem will repeat. What might I check in my system? Thanks
Orbit 57896 with 5 zone's was set for 20 minutes . Zone 1 was disconnected due to broken line. Only 4 zones are operable. Now auto works for 2 min . Reset it but still works 2 and 5 min only
I have a station that won't work. It is getting power to the solenoid as I can hear it starting but no water... also have another station that won't turn off! Different junction for both (front and backyard are separate).
I have the exact same problem timer works check the socket the waterline is working throughout the entire house outside inside and the water will not come on I’ve had this happen before and then all of a sudden it starts working again
What a great video. Covered so many different possibilities and tips.
Wow! This man is amazing, gifted n full of knowledge...
A mastermind jack of all trades... Bless you Sunwolfe 🥰👍🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thank you from Anaheim Hills California. Very informative.
Thank you. I had a slight different problem but your trouble shooting help resolve my issue. All the best!
Really like the sequencing and pace. Huge help. Thanks!
Great review! Sometimes frustration precludes people reasoning these things out, and you've pointed out lots of things that I never thought of.
thanks for sharing Round Rock Texas very informative
Yeah big thanks man, some idiot turned off our water too and this video was exactly what I needed to learn how to turn it back on.

Saved me a service visit, many thanks!

Thank you. System wasn’t working and sure enough someone turned out water off😡
I have the exact same problem timer works check the socket the waterline is working throughout the entire house outside inside and the water will not come on I’ve had this happen before and then all of a sudden it starts working again
I had to install a new transformer. I am getting low reading in the manual setting. I suspect the new transformer. How do i test the new transformer?
Thanks...someone turned off the valve while we were gone!
👍👍
y do you have a hair dryer on hand
That is common sense
my guy when installing new line left and didnt turn water back on ...
Have power water is on stations are not working.
I can get my screen to work
They don’t even have grass lol
My timer turns on and water lines are open but no water comes out...
I’m having same with problem
Check the voltage at the terminals coming out when you power a zone. Ot ho to yo ur ohms and read the ohms at your controller for each valve.
@@noeeon9910 Not sure what that last line meant.
My back yard works but not the front!!!! O m g going CRAZY!
Not helpful at all. I have power and water. The zone valves have been replaced.they show they are on but will not work.
This was weak....all common sense troubleshooting.
Then why are you here? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
