Repair by Replacement. Great sales video.

Thanks so much! None of my 5 zones would turn on so I used your advise and found one of the white wires came out of the big bundle so I reattached and now all are working!

[frostyflake.]

Absolutely FANTASTIC video, exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

[dmounts]

Very clear and easy to understand video, Adrian. Thank you.

[benampofo]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for starting out your video with a potential valve issue. Every other videos starts with a solenoid issue.

Is there a video for trouble shooting electronics for the old style dial rain bird controller? Thx.

I can turn sprinklers on at the panel and all stations work normally. When I use the remote, which has a new battery and makes its normal beeping sounds, nothing happens. Any ideas?

I have had the valve replaced. There are 8 impact pulse on the zone. I have good water pressure and I have one head that won't stay up. It comes up and then goes back down. I have replaced the head 3 times, any advice? I AM STUCK.

[michaelfiandt]

Awesome video, thank you so much for the excellent presentation!

I have 5 zones on my irrigation system. I can run 1 & 2 &5 by itself with no problem. When I turn on zone 3 or 4, zone 5 comes on too. What is the problem?

[bilgihanomur]

Merhaba, selonoid 24VDC de çalışır mı? yoksa 24VAC mi olmalı?

[jilllong]

If I run zone 1 from the controller, I get power at 1&2 (with multimeter). Only zone 1 pops up. If I run zone 2, only 2 gets power but doesn't pop up. Is my system haunted or cursed 😭.

*Edit* Y'all, I figured it out. There was a failed splice in the control wire in the valve box for zone one. This was affecting the master as well as 1 & 2.

What if a valve just clicks? First time seeing this problem. Wiring is correct.

[fpplsoftwashpressurewashin]

Sometimes it will not open the solenoid even with good batteries. Since then, I now only use three 9V batteries in series to pop my solenoid which produces 24V-28V.

[bonsummers]

@ 2:00 + if the valve is staying on, it's usually due to a faulty diaphragm or grit within the valve structure, … and either grit needs to be cleaned out, or, the diaphragm needs to be replaced.

[pamelacoates]

Good, clear instruction however the background music is very distracting. Please remove it.

I just replaced an anti shipon valve. I failed to mark the wiring, but have I’dd it’s red wire in the box. I only have 1 station. Red wire and common I get that. When everything is wired and I’m ready to test the valve manually from the box does the water on the valve need to be off. The valve works when I turn it on manually on the valve itself because it’s new. But to test it in manual mode from the box do I close everything on the valve? My wires are also a mess. Very weathered and some of the plastic on almost all of the is disintegrated. I’m I making any sense? Any suggestions 😞
