  • Thank you for the troubleshooting steps. I thought my sprinklers were working normally because the timer control was set to early morning but my grass was getting dry. Sprinklers would not turn on manually. Turns out the irrigation control valve was turned off and I don’t know how that would have happened since I didn’t do it.

    Many thanks for this video. It helped me find my problem quickly, specifically checking the power outlet with a known working device. The GFI was tripped on my plug.
  • Very informative, especially the tools/levers map..Found mine. Water my backyard...will see if the remote can do it now like before...just knock the first 3 minutes before going to work..
  • @sublimemota
    Fixed my problem with the information in the first 2 minutes of this video. Thank you.
  • @GeoSharp
    Thanks for the detailed troubleshooting ideas. I was able to fix my sprinkler start issue.
  • @alhernandez5929
    Thanks for the detailed video. I'll let you know if this resolved my issue.
  • Thank you for going through all the trouble shoots! My simple mistake was the water was not ok outside. 😂 after I turned the water on, the sprinklers came on!
  • @TurboV8boi
    Nice. Thank you for this. I have NO idea how these boxes work at all, so this was very helpful for me to get started fixing the mother in law's system...
  • @j.g.6714
    Thank you. Your video is very informative and thorough 👍🏼
  • @Adrian-rz5pd
    Thanks a lot for being so thoughtful on your video.

    In case you didn't know, opposite your solenoids you have a little plastic bolt that when untied will release water manually as well, it's a little more practical I think. good video though!
  • I hope you can help me. We had a fiber optic crew digging in our yard and cut one of the lines to the sprinkler system. They repaired the leak. However, now my system will not come on. I have manually turned the system on by turning the solenoids, However, the system will not turn on normally using the control panel. Any thoughts, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  • Mine works only when I run each zone manually. It won't come on at the times I have set. I'm thinking the programming is not correct but, they were working and then stopped working. The unit is about nine years old. So probably need a new programmable unit.
  • @toddheath7283
    Appreciate the video. Why won’t the sprinklers come up when I turn the selinoid? Sounds like water running but none of the heads come up
  • @thegolflife7565
    I had my system blown out before winter. Came out this morning to turn the system back on, opened all valves from the street to the solenoid valves and no water pressure. When they blow these out is there a trick to get water pressure again? Super weird. Should have pressure!
