| no longer able to use single or all stations manuallyDoes your controller still operate properly in automatic? There really isn't many things that will keep your controller from operating manually. If one zone just will not work, I would be apt to say that there could be a problem with your control valve or even a wiring issue with that zone. If all the zones will not work in manual, but will work in automatic I would say there is a problem with your controller itself. One other thing to consider, is if you have a rain sensor attached to your system, you could also have an issue with it which has faulted and left the circuit open. Also, do you have surge protection hooked up to your controller? | 19 Oct, 2009 1:23 AM |
| Sprinker on the grass is working fine but water drip very little on plant. Can I adjust the water drip?Drip emitters generally will put out from 1/2 to 4 gallons per hour. It sounds like your emitters are possibly sized too small for your needs. These emitters can be replaced with a larger diameter or rather larger flow emitter to increase the water supply to your landscaping. There are some other things too that can also effect the performance of a drip irrigation system. If your drip system has an inline filter in place to filter the water prior to reaching the emitters, this filter could be partially plugged or need replacing. If you have a filter installed on your system, it may require a little looking around to find it. Depending on the installer, it could be anywhere from the main line between your point-of-connection (City Water tie-in) and the first control valve, or it may be installed individually only on the drip zone line. If this is the case, the filter would most likely be installed between the control valve for that zone and the first emitter. But as you have stated that the sprinklers for the yard are working normally, I would not suspect that a filter is installed between the POC and the first control valve. Good luck, and if we can be of any further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask a question. | 16 Sep, 2009 2:53 PM |
